Information is exploding in quantity
As much as 80% of the data you need today is unstructured - not found in a
relational database. It can include: images, paper-based documents, forms,
CAD/engineering drawings, enterprise reports, e-mail, or any data that is
hard-to-access and utilise. Alchemy allows you to integrate and organise these
many different data formats into a single, searchable location or repository.
It also supports high-volume search and storage needs.
Scale to meet your growing enterprise needs
Alchemy allows for multiple authorised Alchemy workstations and can build
repositories simultaneously. In addition, it controls each connected user's
access to the repository, ensuring integrity of the data and high performance.
You can also add build workstations or add search licenses as your organisation
grows.
Quickly find your information
Simply storing important enterprise data is often not enough. You must also be
able to quickly find it again. Alchemy lets you find data immediately by
entering search criteria into an easy-to-follow search form. Through this form,
you can perform searches of a word or phrase, or search by file type, file
name, or date created. Alchemy also adds finding power by supporting searchable
document profiles, folder profiles, and annotations. Search results are
returned quickly and matching documents are displayed in a familiar tree
structure, ranking the documents by relevancy. From here, you can view
documents within the same screen or further refine your search. Data stored in
Alchemy repositories is compressed by a ratio of up to 10:1, this means Alchemy
not only searches quickly, but also rapidly retrieves the data you need, while
saving space.
Works with your business processes
Because every organisation is unique, Alchemy was designed to give
administrators flexibility, making it a powerful tool regardless of your
business processes. Once the data is stored in a repository, the administrator
can define its hierarchy, including naming conventions and indexing methods.
There are few limits to the amount of data that can be placed in this scalable
repository. It can be divided into smaller components based on project needs,
and then consolidated into one master repository. Additional flexibility lies
within Alchemy's powerful indexing function that also lets you separate
repositories into timeframes and then archive them to CD or DVD for reporting,
auditing, or customer service needs.
Data is immediately useful
Alchemy handles hundreds of file types, storing each in its native format;
Alchemy does not modify the data or put a software wrapper around it. All data
is maintained in its original file format, and Alchemy repositories are
designed for open access, making Alchemy an ideal choice for records management
and archival. In addition to storing data in their native file format, Alchemy
Premium allows users to access and view files within an embedded search screen.
From there, users can launch the native application with the click of their
mouse. For example: if the selected file is a Microsoft® Excel file, Alchemy
automatically launches Excel and opens the file. The user can then modify,
save, print or e-mail the Excel document.
Easy to use
Alchemy is a low maintenance solution for storing, searching, accessing, and
sharing your unstructured data. The administrator can provide open or secured
access to the data within your enterprise through Alchemy's flexible repository
access options: LAN/WAN or portable media such as CD and DVD. And because
Alchemy is easy to use and easy to learn, you can perform effective searches
with little or no training.
