Alchemy® Premium from Captaris is the scalable solution that lets multiple
workstations capture data for storage.
Information is exploding in quantity.
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,
email, or any data that is hard-to-access and utilise. Alchemy Premium 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 Premium allows for multiple authorised Alchemy workstations and can
build repositories simultaneously. In addition, it controls each connected
user's access to the repository ensuing integrity of the data and high
performance. You can also add build stations or 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 Premium 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 Premium 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 also rapidly retrieves the data you need, while
saving space.
Works with your business processes
Because every organisation is unique, Alchemy Premium 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 Premium 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 Premium 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 Premium can automatically launch Excel and open
the file. The user can then modify, save, print or email the Excel document.
Using Alchemy 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. useful immediately.
Easy to use
Alchemy Premium is a low maintenance solution for securely storing, searching,
accessing, and sharing your unstructured data. Consistent and reliable security
features with central administration safeguard your information while making
even large Alchemy environments easy to control. In addition this security
model supports Microsoft's Active Directory structure and a wide range of
applications. Alchemy also allows you to leverage open or secured access to the
data within your enterprise through flexible repository access options: LAN/WAN
or portable media such as CD and DVD. And because Alchemy Premium is easy to
use and easy to learn, you can perform effective searches with little or no
training. Capitalise on your software investment.
