Perceptive Content (aka ImageNow) is an electronic file system with workflow capabilities. Perceptive is used extensively across campus in place of paper for secure document storage, faster retrieval, and dissemination. 

• Secure Electronic Document Storage  (electronic file cabinet)

• Electronic Workflow  (approvals & electronic in baskets)

• Allows document sharing across campus

There is a downloadable "desktop" version of Perceptive and a no-installation-needed web version, called Perceptive Experience. The web version meets the needs of most campus users. For more information on the differences between the two, see this brief article: Perceptive Content: Perceptive Content Desktop Client vs Perceptive Experience 

• Due to the quantity and sensitive nature of information stored in Perceptive, you (or your supervisor) usually need to request access be given to you.
