Network fault tolerance. Safekeep makes use of fast ethernet connections if available, but also works well with slower wide area network or Internet connections. Safekeep uses a stateless architecture to enable completely automatic recovery from interuptions in network services.
Internet/intranet retrieval. Safekeep requires no imaging software installation at the users' desktops! Just Netscape, Microsoft IE or a compatible web browser is all you need. With the server's permission, a user just clicks web pages to automatically get applets that retrieve, print, fax, email or transfer documents. Companion products like Acordex ViewTIFF for Java display any page of any document in less than one second.
Workflow. The "nuts and bolts" imaging workflow like moving documents from scan stations to users and onto DVDs is completely automated. Your business rules workflow is usually implemented in your existing database management system. Safekeep's Single Database Architecture eliminates the need to install a new imaging vendor database, avoiding all of the disadvantages of fracturing the control and integrity of your enterprise data into two locations.
100% upgrade credit. Acordex offers the best upgrade policy in the industry: 100% of the Safekeep sa (standalone) system cost will be credited to a Safekeep i3 (multi-user internet/intranet imaging) that includes the same peripherals or more. The cost to upgrade is simply the difference between the then current prices for a Safekeep sa and Safekeep i3 System, plus any installation, training and travel.
