Distinctive Features of FormsPro
- Easily
scaleable - capability to handle large volumes. One of our US customers
ran 8 million sheets per day through the system. Fingerhut (a mail order
company in Minnesota) ran up to 150,000 documents a day with over 200
concurrent users for over 6 years.
- Multi-platform
Support - FormsPro is one of the few products in the industry that
supports multiple platforms - Microsoft Windows, Sun Solaris, Linux and
FreeBSD. User can choose one or multiple platforms at the same installation
if they want. For example Unix servers and Windows clients.
- Built
in Archive - One of the few products that has a built in Archive
solution into the Forms Processing system. The images can be retrieved on
the internal LAN or the Internet using either the client program or any
Internet browser.
- Internet
Enabled - Since FormsPro is a client/server-based solution using TCP/IP
it can also be run over the Internet. Remote keying can allow an
organization to utilize resources any where in the world. For example a
service organization can scan documents in USA and have them keyed in India
on the same system. Managers or clients anywhere in the world can monitor
the work being done and even see images and data that have been captured.
- Thin
Client Support – FormsPro’s user interface has been built on X
windows, this allows the system to be run on any machine on the network and
the display sent to any PC, X terminal or any other cheap workstation
capable of running an X-Server reducing the hardware requirements for a
keying setup.
- Open
Interface – FormsPro has integrated several other companies OCR/ICR
engines into it. It has very strong mark sense and OMR engines built into
the system. FormsPro has successfully been integrated into solutions
provided by other companies and can easily write to any 3rd party
API for expanded options.
- Database
support – While FormsPro can be run without a database for smaller
volumes it has support for a RDBMS based install. The RDBMS support allows
FormsPro to handle large volumes of data and do detailed statistics
collection for quality and performance reporting.
- Optimized
keying – While FormsPro supports multiple recognition engines it has
extremely optimized keying applications. Users have been able to achieve
over 16,000 keystrokes an hour using its Snippet Keying application (while
the industry standard is about 10,000 key strokes an hour). The keying
applications the built for easy navigation through documents and snippets
and images are pre-fetched into memory to be able to keep up with the
fastest keying operator.
- Export
support – FormsPro has support to run recognition and outsource the
keying work, if any, to an outside vendor. The images are delivered with
recognized data and information on what needs to be keyed.
- Not
just a solution, your solution - FormsPro has several times in the past
been modified to make custom solutions to match a user's exact needs instead
of them going with a one-fit-all solution.
- A
mature product - in production since 1993.
