Systems features

• Efficient - Designed to store large volumes of documents. Ensures mechanisms which can input massive amounts of documents from different sources, i.e.: Hard Drive Resources, e-mail, fax, scanner.

• Ergonomics - Intuitive set of graphic interfaces that are based on user habits. Quick and effective document search and built-in browsing of graphic files.

• Flexible - Allows independent configuration of file and document attributes stored in the system as well as the structure of business dictionaries. Integrated mechanisms enable communication and data exchange with a client’s internal systems.

• Easy to manage - Prepared in a “thin www client” technology.  It doesn’t require the installation of any additional components on end-users’ workstations. The administration panel enables self-reliant management of users, rights and replacements.

Built-in workflow engine mechanisms enable the implementation of any workflow process. Based on standard functionality we have prepared dedicated business modules that use optimized document management which enable measuring the level of profit optimization as well as the overall improvement of business processes.

Comarch INFOSTORE ECM

Comarch INFOSTORE ECM represents a new generation of the INFOSTORE system, which has been proven on the market in Switzerland and Germany. Comarch INFOSTORE ECM has a platform-independent architecture which is a significant development in comparison to the previous version. As a result, the system cooperates not only with IBM 400/iSeries but also with Windows, Linux, Apple Macintosh and many others varieties of UNIX systems.

Comarch INFOSTORE ECM 10.1

The Comarch InfoStore product integrates data and documents from any company application and provides optimal building blocks and functions for transparency, process automation and data security in a user’s organization.

The new 10.1 version of the solution comes with a number of improvements, extensions and functionalities.

> New deployment capabilities 

Added support for SQL Server 2008 engine
SQL Server 2008 engine is one of the most widely used DB engines for small and medium enterprises. Support for both main DB engines (Oracle and MS SQL Server) extends the capabilities of the product implementation significantly.

Installation & configuration
Simplified installation and configuration mechanisms for product deployments in the partnership model - the creation of tools for easy installation and configuration of the solution components in both Windows and Linux environments.

> Improved and enhanced functionalities

Public folders, private folders
Extension of the collaboration extending system navigation and document management functions. Each system user has two folder/file views available - functionally and visually similar to Windows Explorer.

• A private folder allows users private document management and archiving in a similar way as with a personal workstation.
• Public folders provide authorized users with the ability to share documents and collaborate on them.

Management rights
The new product version comes with the possibility to define configuration profiles for users as well as many general interface improvements for permission management.

Further development of the Business Process Engine
A workflow engine integrated with the repository makes extending document archival functionalities with dedicated business processes an easy and flexible task.

The basic functionalities of the BPE module include:

• The ability to define business processes using a graphical process designer (processes are created BPMN 2.0)
• Tools for handling and monitoring business processes
• A powerful workflow engine based on a jBPM engine that has been proven in multiple deployments

Easy to use Archive, Search and Retrieval
Comarch InfoStore comes with a modern and user friendly Office 2010 Look and Feel. Thus, users can easily find all options and functionality.

Other extensions:

• Import and value mapping
• Query management (Public/Private)
• Customize clients with plugins
• Advanced search filters and grouping functionality

> New elements

Plugins (new extensibility mechanism)
With this module, a user has the ability to define special handling for events related to the lifecycle of archived documents.

Usage possibilities:

• Auto-complete index values of the document based on data from an external system
• Defining validation rules and the special relationship between the indexes of documents
• Prompting a list of possible values for the index based on information from an external system
• Binding events of the lifecycle of a document with any actions (e.g. starting a business process associated with the document type)

Offline Archive
Enables working with documents stored in the repository more easily. It is now possible to store the chosen documents locally (e.g.: on a user’s notebook) in the Offline Archive and then synchronizing the data with the document repository after the changes are made.

Background Importer (new extensibility mechanism)
The Background Importer makes most integrations in 3rd party applications quite easy to implement by importing documents as they are delivered to a watchfolder. Index files can be provided in CSV and/or XML format. The user can convert almost any source index format with a new built-in converter.

IPhone App
Now users have access to their ECM wherever they want with the new iPhone App. It provides many of the functionalities such as browsing for documents, adding notes, viewing and sending documents by email, and taking pictures and sending them directly to ECM.
