how is Optix different? • Fastest out-of-the-box solution • Implements in days and weeks instead of months • Most systems require no programming • Click and install software • Highly integrated • A true product, not merely a toolkit • mindwrap developed its own scanning and imaging interface • mindwrap developed its own workflow software • Every component is fully integrated, third-party tools integrated at the library level and use common system admin tools
how is Optix different? (cont) • User customizable • Most customization via GUI tools, without programming • Index and query interfaces customizable using provided application generator tool • Workflow development tools via graphical route builder (drag-and-drop routing) • Workflow routing slips defined using same tools as index screens
how is Optix different? (cont) • Extendable • Scripting is at the heart of Optix. • Additional functionality added through OLE Automation (Applescript on Mac) • Custom queues and workflow activities make it easy to integrate third-party software and special user interfaces • Workflow can be extended through programming • C and Java APIs to enable developers to create custom interfaces
how is Optix different? (cont) • Manageable • High level of integration allows all functions to run on single server with common administration • System architecture eliminates most desktop administration • Scalable • Optix scales from a few users to thousands of users • Intelligent application partitioning allows web, application, and database servers to be on the same system, or different systems • Dynamic licensing frees server resources when not in use
