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.
