Laserfiche WebLink
<br />LaserFiche uses standard file formats and data structures. All images are stored as TIFF or JPEG/TIFF <br />objects and text is stored as ASCII. Currently, LaserFiche uses Pervasive SQL 7 as its database. This <br />database is a Level 2 ODBC compliant relational database that fully integrates with Oracle, Sybase, <br />Infonnix, .Microsoft SQL and other industry standard databases. <br /> <br />Database information is completely accessible and configurable as an ODBC data source. %th Pervasive <br />2000, LaserFiche utilizes the strength of a full 32-bit SQL server engine as its core database. LaserFiche <br />is easy to administer, customize, and integrate with other applications and existing hardware. In addition, <br />its non-proprietary :file formats ensure compatibility with future document management systems. IT <br />personnel, system integrators and data miners can use ODBC database knowledge to query and <br />manipulate stored data. <br /> <br />Intuitive User Intcifacc <br /> <br />The LaserFiche user interface was designed to blend two important themes: simplicity and familiarity. <br />The only thing that any user has to have to operate the system is knowledge of Windows Explorer: there <br />are no confusing, multiple modes to recognize and master. Moreover, all commonly used functions can <br />be executed with the click of the mouse on a toolbar. Less commonly used functions are activated via <br />standard Wl1ldows pull-down menus. LaserFiche has the look and feel of Wl1ldows File Manager or <br />Explorer. All dialog boxes have been designed with strict adherence to Microsoft standards, rendering <br />their use familiar to anyone who has used other Wl1ldows applications. <br /> <br />High Capaciry <br /> <br />Up to 100 million objects (lffiage or text pages) can be stored on a single LaserFiche database. As <br />supporting software technology improves, this limit will increase up to two billion pages. Moreover, <br />these are limitations for a single database only. Using the Enterprise Edition of LaserFiche effectively <br />removes this limit. Furthermore, the database can span multiple physical drives or volumes, so disk space <br />should not be a long-term problem. A single document can contain up to 32,000 pages. <br /> <br />Portabiliry <br /> <br />The open architecture design of LaserFiche frees the user from being limited to anyone storage platform <br />and media format. Using its media independence, LaserPiche can create volumes on CD-ROM, DVD, <br />MO-disk, ZIP and JAZ disks, or any selected storage media. Using any media format and media device, <br />LaserPiche expands the portable format from simple storage media to archival distribution media, all <br />with the same powerful search engine. <br /> <br />LaserFiche's portable volumes allow these multiple media formats to be easily regrouped and attached to <br />a LaserPiche database. CD-ROM or other "portable" volumes can be reattached to any LaserPiche <br />server for comprehensive searching and retrieval that can span multiple volumes. The feature eliminates <br />the time spent copying huge document volumes to keep records updated at multiple sites. The "additive <br />synchronization" of portable volumes allows users to create volumes for distribution, which can be <br />reattached to any other LaserFiche systems. <br /> <br />THE CITY OF CENTERVILLE <br /> <br />LASERFICHE DOCUMENT IMAGING SYSTEM SOFTWARE <br /> <br />7 <br />
