Open Database, SQL, Oracle, Access, or ODBC
ArchiveCenter for Enterprise can run on a database that is familiar to, or
already in place at your organization, making it even easier to implement and
achieve maximum efficiency. This software can even be configured to connect to
Unix servers running Oracle.
Unlimited Number of Databases Residing Locally or on Network Servers
ArchiveCenter for Enterprise does not restrict your application to one single
vault or repository. You can set up any number of document database archives of
any variety with no imposed limit on number of records or number of fields. When
designing the creation of your archive database, you can determine what field
attribute information is captured, or use a standard template for your type of
industry.
Unlimited Number of Documents Located Anywhere on the Network
There is no limit here either. Documents can be archived in database
repositories that reside on other servers on your network regardless of
platform, Windows, Novell, Linux, or Unix. Network file folders can also be
shared through the ArchiveCenter for Enteprise web browser interface without the
need for indexing files into a vault.
Supports Native CAD, Office, and Imaging Formats
Because ArchiveCenter for Enterprise supports native document and imaging file
formats, there is no costly publishing procedure when posting a file. Files are
simply copied, saved, or uploaded to an ArchiveCenter for Enterprise shared
network file folder or indexed into an archive repository with document
attribute data.
Access via Database Search or Network File Folders
With ArchiveCenter for Enterprise you can browse for your documents on shared
folders on most any type of network, Windows, Novell, Linux, Unix, even Mac.
Documents can be indexed into database repositories where they can be located
using search queries.
Fast Thin Client Viewing Technology Supports Color
The wait is over for visual document access. Our embedded viewing technology
renders documents on the host and transmits only the view back to the client,
without loading any browser plug-in or applet. This makes it possible to view
large engineering documents and gigabyte color images, even from a 56K modem
connection.
WYSIWYP Plot Styles, Screening, and Line Weights
Anyone who's ever seen a CAD file displayed on a computer can recollect a
rendering of bright colored geometric figures on top of a dark background. The
fact is that most users of a CAD document have no idea what the colors mean.
ArchiveCenter for Enterprise can display CAD files and all other types of
documents exactly as they appear when printed out on paper, with the correct
line thicknesses, font styles, shading, etc. In other words, "What You See
Is What You Print".
Embedded RIP Rendering Engine
The ArchiveCenter for Enterprise document controller processes native files,
file formats for sharing, as well as print and plot file formats. This
flexibility allows documents to be captured, utilized, and archived at any phase
within their lifecycle, from scan file indexing and conversion to the printing
of construction, production, and as-built drawing sets and specifications.
ArchiveCenter for Enterprise has the option for direct support of files from
high end CAD systems like Pro/E, Unigraphics, CATIA, and Solid Works, as well as
image compression technologies such as Mr. SID and JPEG 2000 formats used for
maps and remote sensing data.
Easy Setup and Implementation Means Quick ROI
It can be installed, functional, connected to your data and your key people can
be trained in less than a day. Our training programs allow you to select the
appropriate method and amount of time that fit your budget and schedule, whether
on-site or on-line.

Migrate Your Paper, Film, and Aperture Card Archives to a Digital Print
Room Repository with ArchiveCenter for Workgroups
ArchiveCenter for Workgroups is a scanning, indexing, archiving and distribution
system for vast document repositories. With ArchiveCenter for Workgroups you can
scan your images, store and index them in a database with an unlimited number of
fields for easy retrieval. Your images are stored as files in sub-directories
named by index field values, i.e. project numbers. Various indexing features are
included: Automatically loads images to be indexed, automatically zooms to area
on image for each field, use of default values and macros, etc. ArchiveCenter
for Workgroups supports multiple scanners on a single workstation to speed up
the archiving process. Multi-page management is also supported.
ArchiveCenter for Workgroups works in three modes: Design, Insert and Query.
In Design mode you can define your database and index fields. You can link
fields to areas in the image and you can create macros to help simplify and
automate the indexing process.
In Insert mode you control the attached scanner(s), via direct device
interface or virtual disk scanner, and perform the indexing with help from the
system. Feed the scanner and index later, or index while you scan – the choice
is yours. If you have Aperture Cards with Hollerith punch codes, then the
indexing can be done automatically. You only need to feed the Aperture Card
scanner(s).
In Query mode you can work with the archive. There is a user-friendly browser
with a quickview facility where you can view the contents of the archive. You
can search for records that fulfill specific criteria, make changes to your
archive, version records and design your own queries.
Browser Based Sharing with Search, View and Print Tool
Imagine enabling every person in your department with the ability to find, see,
and print any document they need at any time and at any place. The ArchiveCenter
for Workgroups web browser-based Scan Controller unleashes the power of
internetworking, database connectivity, and document rendering, allowing easy
quality control of your entire archive.
Automated Document Indexing using Text Zones and OCR
The document indexing module loads documents into databases using the fastest
methods and using as few steps as possible. Text zones can be defined within
title blocks to capture attribute data using OCR, or manually using
“heads-up” data entry. Batch document processing such as alignment,
rotation, cleanup de-speckling, mirroring and inversion can be performed
automatically during the indexing process using macro definitions.
Archive Projects to CD and DVD
ArchiveCenter for Workgroups allows you to be accountable by permitting
publishing of self-contained CD and DVD archives of your projects with embedded
search, view, and print tools. This allows the document data to behave on the
disc the way it did when it was on line. This is a great idea for long-time
storage of projects and documents that are no longer required to be on-line, or
for the distribution and delivery of document data to remote parties, instead of
overnight shipment of heavy paper prints.
Not Just TIFF
ArchiveCenter for Workgroups supports many document file formats. Does your
company have just TIFF files? Probably not. ArchiveCenter for Workgroups
supports the kinds of files you already have on file like PDF, Adobe PhotoShop,
Mr. SID and JPEG-2000 formats just to name a few. Optional CAD viewing module
supports many additional file formats including Office Documents, DWF, DWG, and
DGN.
Share Costly Wide Format Network Printers and Plotters
Anyone in your company will be able to quickly assemble a document set and
submit to a network printer or plotter. ArchiveCenter for Workgroups even
collates the job with the first page on top and the last page on the bottom of
the stack eliminating costly sorting time at the document output tray of the
printer.
Open Microsoft Access Database
ArchiveCenter for Workgroups runs on a familiar Microsoft Access database making
it easy to implement and achieve maximum efficiency. Expand to SQL Server or
Oracle, when the time is right.
Run Multiple Databases
ArchiveCenter for Workgoups does not restrict your application to one single
vault or repository. You can setup a number of document database archives with
no imposed limit on number of records or number of fields. When designing the
creation of your archive database, you can determine what field attribute
information is captured, or use a standard template for your type of industry.
Archive databases can reside on the host workstation or on a network file
server.
OCR Module
The Optical Character Recognition (OCR) Module is an add-on to ArchiveCenter for
Workgroups. With the OCR package and with the index fields linked to areas in
the image you can extract the text into the fields manually or automatically.
The OCR Package enables you to fully automate the scanning, indexing and storing
of your drawings and documents.
Scan2Plan
With ArchiveCenter for Workgoups you can scan directly to your Plan Room in real
time. Scanning and indexing project documents have never been easier.
