Why Sword CTSpace?

The Sword Group maintains strong partnerships with major Enterprise Content Management (ECM) providers, including Microsoft (SharePoint) and IBM (FileNet). Our products significantly extend these systems as opposed to just interfacing to them. Sword CTSpace offers all the forms of deployment that a company might require. For those who wish to retain full control over the installations there is the option to take a product in-house.

Our solutions also include the subscription option of SaaS, enabling a project to be operational without the need to install the applications. This option provides low cost of ownership and avoids delays in procuring additional hardware, as it is ideal for projects where suppliers, partners and sub-contractors need to collaborate. Since the SaaS solution is outside any one company’s firewall, the main barriers to external collaboration are removed.

With over 13,000 projects in 56 countries, Sword CTSpace is experienced at providing global support for international projects and organisations. Multi-language support is available along with an extensive network of offices and technical staff to assist with implementations worldwide.

Sword CTSpace is a business unit of the Sword Group. Sword’s stability as a company is underpinned by its size, financial strength and growth; key factors in selecting the Group as your long-term business partner.
