Lucion File Center

We have recently purchased Lucion File Centre version 7 (website address www.lucion.com) as a first step towards our move to paperless office solutions. We were particularly attracted to the product as it had integrated scanning + pdf converter plus the various ways the files could be managed, searched and displayed. We are testing the software at the moment and reviewing the various features of the product before implementing into the network. However, we wanted to hear from other users of the product about their experiences on the following points- 

• The most useful features as well as the downsides you have experienced and how they have got around the problems.
• How long have you been using and how you have found the product?
• Is the built-in pdf converter better or worse than Adobe Acrobat?
• The way the interface is organised between Cabinets, Files and Folders-have you found this useful?

To us the only downside appears to be that it seems to be a small company and they appear to be incrementing the versions too frequently. Do you share these views? We found the ‘file preview’ feature quite usefulas well as the file search facility very powerful- searches doc, excel or pdf pretty quickly. Also, the cost per licence seems to be quite reasonable. If other practitioners are considering it, they may wish to look at their website www.lucion.com     and go through the simple & excellent videos they have produced.
