Captaris Alchemy Web

Get the data you need, online.
Alchemy® Web from Captaris is the solution for browser-based universal access to all
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,
paper-based documents, forms, enterprise reports, or any data that is
hard-to-access and utilise. And the number of remote users that need to access
your unstructured data is growing as well. Alchemy Web allows you to easily
access the various unstructured data types held in your Alchemy repositories
via a simple Web browser.
Utilise your data from anywhere in the world
Alchemy Web offers a fast and easy way to deploy business data to the Web,
where it is easy to access, view and share. Enhance your intra-company
communications with immediate Web-based access to your important unstructured
data from anywhere around the world. With Alchemy Web, you can create separate
home pages for separate clients or departments and global users can browse,
query and view the contents of an Alchemy repository via an Internet or
Intranet browser.
Quickly find your information
Simply storing important enterprise data is often not enough. You must also be
able to quickly find it again. Alchemy Web lets you find data immediately by
entering criteria into an easy to follow browser-based search form. Through
this you can perform searches of a word or phrase, or can search by file type,
file name, or date created. Alchemy Web 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. 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 also saving space.
Easy to Deploy
Now getting to data stored in Alchemy repositories is as easy as setting up one
server and publishing the repositories. Administrators do not have to worry
about installing client software on tens or hundreds of user workstations.
Users simply go to the home page and click on a repository link to access the
powerful search and retrieval capabilities of Alchemy Web. Additionally,
upgrades have never been easier with the centralised deployment model.
Data is immediately useful
Alchemy Web 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 Web an ideal choice for records
management and archival. In addition to storing objects in their native file
format, Alchemy Web allows users to access and view data within the
browser-based Alchemy search screen in either the native file format or as
HTML. 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 Web can automatically launch Excel. The end user can then modify, save,
print or e-mail the Excel document. Alchemy Web makes data useful immediately.
Easy to use
Alchemy Web 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: Internet/Intranet/Extranet. And because Alchemy Web
is easy to use and easy to learn, you can perform effective searches with
little or no training.
