Now the data you need is easy to find.
Alchemy® Gold from Captaris is the small enterprise or departmental solution that
lets you store, access and utilise your unstructured data.
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,
paperbased documents, forms, CAD/engineering drawings, enterprise reports,
e-mail, or any data that is hard-to-access and utilise. Alchemy Gold allows you
to integrate and organise these many different data formats into a single,
searchable location or repository. It also supports one workstation for
building repositories and up to 25 search users, so you can get the data you
need.
Quickly find your information
Simply storing important enterprise data is often not enough. You must also be
able to quickly find it again. Alchemy Gold lets you find data immediately by
entering 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 Gold 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 fast but rapidly retrieves the data you need, while also
saving space.
Works with your business processes
Because every organisation is unique, Alchemy Gold 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, which 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 Gold 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 Gold an ideal choice for records
management and archival. In addition to storing data in their native file
format, Alchemy Gold 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 Gold can automatically launch Excel. The end user can then
modify, save, print or e-mail the Excel document. Using product extensions such
as DataGrabber, Alchemy products support Enterprise Resource Management
functions by providing a solution for distributing reports, particularly
Computer Output to Laser Disc (COLD), throughout your company. In addition to
handling COLD data in its native format, Alchemy provides form overlays, so
users viewing the search screen see both the background and overprint
information just as it would appear on a printed report. And, users can easily
email a text file and an overlay together as one file. Alchemy Gold makes data
useful immediately.
Easy to use
Alchemy Gold 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 Gold is easy to use and easy to learn, you can perform
effective searches with little or no training.
