Seven London Market technology companies have formed a group to work on improving efficiency using document repositories.
The Repository Infrastructure Group (RIG) comprises Xchanging Ins-sure Services, Rebus iS, August Group, Intech Solutions, Melstar Information Technologies, Randall Lyons and Tower Technology.
The RIG said its aim is to deliver a common repository infrastructure which will accelerate the take-up of the use of repositories on a global scale.
The group said it believes that unless repositories work together their full potential will not be unleashed.
Components of the flexible repository infrastructure are likely to include: portals, single logon, multiple-repository indexing and searches, up/download from one application to another, access control lists and a global directory.
The first system interfaces are targeted for delivery in the first quarter of 2003.
