The document discusses the Fred desktop application for accessing an ECM repository. Fred aims to make ECM easy to use by mimicking familiar interfaces like Windows Explorer and supporting common tasks. It allows accessing and editing documents on the ECM from any location in the same way. The document outlines benefits for both users and companies, and describes existing and planned future features such as improved search capabilities and permissions control. Users are invited to provide feedback to help guide future improvements.
