Overview EASY Documents
Content and Document Management in a Web-based Portal Solution
The EASY LOGISTICS CENTER (ELC) merges modern document management, flexible content management and a powerful WebShop into an integral, platform-independent, Web-based digital enterprise portal. Linking existing mail or database systems as well as creating and visualizing rulesbased workflows, the ELC provides maximum transparency and ergonomics for both users and administrators.
The EASY LOGISTICS CENTER integrates with any IT infrastructure, and can be extended both to modern Windows operating systems as well as to UNIX or Linux servers. No client workstation installation is required; all functions can be accessed from the Internet browser via the Web interface. ELC supports Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle and even the MySQL Open Source Database as a database for internal management data. Third-party applications can be integrated via the Java-based API. All ELC components are managed by a centralized editorial and administration client.
EASY DOCUMENTS: A telling name...
EASY DOCUMENTS is the core of the EASY LOGISTICS CENTER. Documents or business processes are created, edited and specifically forwarded throughout your company via the EASY DOCUMENTS Web client. Using the established EASY file concept, EASY DOCUMENTS summarizes business transactions, including the related documents and data, in a digital file, thus generating a shared document base available to all users.
Document flow is controlled via freely defined or preset workflow scenarios that guarantee submission to the relevant group or user for meeting deadlines. This accelerates business processes and provides the necessary checkpoints and warnings to help your business service customers effectively, helping to sharpen your competitive edge.
Creating and visualizing workflows
Workflow Engine II ("Production Workflow") is a highly recommended but optional module that significantly simplifies creating and visualizing automated workflows in the EASY DOCUMENTS module. Depending on requirements, variable or fixed workflow scenarios can be designed and graphically created via Microsoft VISIO and then easily imported into EASY DOCUMENTS for subsequent processing. So, workflows can be created performing various actions depending on field contents.
Simplified communication with third-party systems
The DOCUMENTS factory is another optional module; it can be linked to existing mail or database systems, and is capable of providing information for DOCUMENTS from these third-party systems. The database component facilitates access to ODBC enabled databases. Data from tables and fields is read through timer-control and DOCUMENTS processes are then generated from this information, starting defined workflows where applicable.
Convenient archive linkage
Completed business transactions can simply be stored in EASY archives in a revision-proof manner at the touch of a button. And the archived files can be retrieved from and displayed via the DOCUMENTS client just as easily to reactivate the searched workflow process. In addition, EASY DOCUMENTS can access EASY archives containing different data, e. g. outgoing documents archived via COLD. In both cases, archived files can be found via full text retrieval in no time at all, and the user will not have to exit the DOCUMENTS user interface.
Extremely simple: Internet, extranet, intranet and e-commerce
While EASY DOCUMENTS is primarily used within enterprises, the other ELC products additionally target larger user groups in e-commerce and extranet scenarios.
