Portland, Ore. – ColumbiaSoft, makers of the Document Locator document management system, announced it has seen a 16% increase in the number of customers using its software in 2008.

“In these challenging economic times, more and more businesses are realizing that their intellectual capital is one of their greatest assets, and that greater document control can have a positive impact on the bottom line,” said David Pogue, ColumbiaSoft executive vice president of worldwide sales and marketing. “We’re pleased that we are helping play a part, and that we have been able to maintain and grow our own position in this difficult year.”

Renewed initiatives among some companies that are looking to improve efficiency and reduce exposure to risk as their operating margins narrowed have helped fuel a portion of the growth in ColumbiaSoft’s customer base.

ColumbiaSoft’s continued product innovation, particularly in areas of information compliance and ease-of-use, also supported growth at the company this year.

These new releases extended capabilities in the document management system for email archiving, digital signatures, document delivery, integrated searching, and more.
