It <br />utilizes the superior performance of client/server architecture to offer users greater efficiency and power, <br />making it an attractive enterprise-wide solution. LaserFiche NT was created to provide mainframe <br />performance on the client/server platform for effective, affordable enterprise-wide document imaging. <br /> <br />LaserFiche NT uses true client/server architecture, distinct from some applications that use this term but <br />are actually Wmdows-based file-sharing applications. LaserFiche's server engine runs as an NT on the <br />imaging server, which manages the document database. The client, which manages the user interface, is <br />an application that runs on a standard Microsoft Windows Pc. The client passes only information <br />requests to the server, and the server returns only requested information to the client. The result is a <br />dramatic reduction in network data traffic and complete insulation of the database from client interrupts. <br /> <br />Under this architecture, LaserFiche performs folder and document management tasks on the server, and <br />performs scanning, OCR., image compression-decompression, and most user interface functions on the <br />client. Heavy disk I/O throughput is confined to the server and never transferred over the network <br />lines, and the client never opens database files direcrly. It also reduces overall system memory <br />requirements, freeing the client to focus on user-oriented functions like a graphical user interface (GUI). <br />Finally, it utilizes the full 32-bit processing capabilities of the Intel Pentium instruction sets. <br /> <br />LaserFiche NT runs on the same level as other computers in the Network. It was built using MS NT- <br />specific interfaces that tighrly couple the program to the network. Once loaded, LaserFiche NT is treated <br />as an SERVER on the MS NT Network. And clients react to it with the same privileges as setup on <br />other workstations. Other programs run as applications on top of the operating system. <br /> <br />Open Architecture <br /> <br />LaserFiche is designed to plug easily into existing networks. Neither the client nor the server software <br />make or require modifications to the existing operating system. As a Wmdows application, it runs on <br />industry-standard Intel-based PCs, and supports most Wmdows-compatible printers and monitors. <br /> <br />THE CITY OF CENTERVILLE <br /> <br />LASERFICHE DOCUMENT IMAGING SYSTEM SOFTWARE <br /> <br />6 <br />
