A new feature in Enable’s Document Fusion software allows users to access their web based document management system directly from their Windows desktop. Users can now benefit from key document management features such as enterprise search, version control, check in / check out and role based permissions with the practicality of instant access to documents via the Windows Explorer.
Enable has acquired the prestigious enable.com domain name.
All web based services and software will be migrated to this domain over the next 4 weeks.
David Hunt, Director of Operations commented, "For us, enable.com was always the ultimate domain from which to host our web-based software solutions. After 7 years of running the company we are delighted to have finally acquired this domain. We host mission critical services for over 200 clients globally including NHS, Sage and Mitsubishi Electric and this shorter address will make it even easier for our clients to access their solutions."
A sporty team from Enable based in Timothy’s Bridge Road recently found themselves up against some of the toughest physical and mental challenges the corporate world could throw at them.
Enable competed in ’The City Challenge’, a gruelling one-day team adventure. Enable was pitched against more than 50 teams, including some multinational giants such as Microsoft, Google, BT and Lloyds TSB.
From 28th to 30th November, Enable are exhibiting at the IMS 2006 show. Come and see us on stand 364 at the London Olympia.

Bespoke Software. Because one size doesn’t fit all.
From customisation of existing software to ground-up projects, organisations such as Mitsubishi, the NHS and Sainsbury’s trust Enable’s ability to deliver unique solutions that an off-the-shelf alternative could never match. Standard software packages are great for basic, run-of-the-mill business processes. But to maintain a competitive edge, organisations need flexible software tailored to the specialist aspects of their business. That’s where Enable comes in.
A new development from Enable offers complete control over the way you gather and assess information. With Info Tracker, you get the most user-friendly and flexible toolkit to help you get more from the data relating to any process or aspect of your business.

Click on any major news organisation’s homepage. From the BBC to Times Online. A bright orange RSS logo will almost certainly be lurking. Next time you see one, give it a click. It offers fresh opportunity for your business.
RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication. The reason nearly all news organisations highlight RSS is that it helps people stay in touch with stories of particular interest. Rather than having to surf around or keep coming back to websites for news, the viewer can be ’fed’ links to relevant stories as and when they appear. The headline appears like an email in a special window (your RSS reader), or as a bookmark in your browser (if supported) so that you can choose to click on it for the full story or come back to it later when it suits you.

Denys Shortt, founder of Enable’s parent company, DCS Europe plc, has been selected as a Central Region finalist in the 2005 Entrepreneur of the Year Awards.
Denys won this award back in 2000 and it was winning that inspired him to expand and start more businesses. Stratford-upon-Avon based DCS Europe has more than doubled in size in the five years since Denys won the award, with sales of 81 million pounds and employs over 100 staff.
Enable Infomatrix has developed a web enabled property information management suite armed with such vast flexibility that it can be deployed by businesses as big as superstore chains—or those with a single property location.
A year in the making, web-based Property Tracker has been developed to address growth, portfolio management and the growing demands of legislation.
"The key is simplicity—this is software to be operated by the property person or department, not the IT team. The key and crucial element of the development brief was to keep it simple, genuinely intuitive and easy-to-use: user training is minimal—it’s based on common sense and intuition," said Alan Neill, Director of Midlands-based Enable Infomatrix.
Stratford-upon-Avon based Andrew Butt, 21, has been named as a finalist in the prestigious Growing Business Awards.
Andrew, who is Managing Director of Enable, has been short-listed in a new category: Entrepreneur of the Future.
This new award identifies and celebrates entrepreneurs, under the age of 30, who are really going places. The judges are looking for candidates who have already started to build a business—or businesses—and who can show they have the ambition, energy, skill and vision to really scale the heights.
Denys Shortt, a former Entrepreneur of the Year, who discovered Andrew at a helicopter flying school said:

STRATFORD’S ENABLE—IN AT NUMBER 50.
Two million pounds sales a year. Not so much of a benchmark in this day and age—unless your age happens to be 21, you started in business at 14, you were the UK’s youngest qualified helicopter pilot 20 minutes after your 17th birthday—and the clients of your software development company are Sainsbury’s, Goldman Sachs and Collins amongst others in the UK, plus businesses in the USA and Dubai.
