Application Integration

In the 1980s there was a concentrated movement in business away from paper documents toward a logical, efficient means of managing documents through the computer. The result was EDMS—Electronic Document Management Systems, a “cure,” of sorts, for what ails the office.

Today, integration with your core business applications and Windows™ has become a requirement for every Content Management solution. Information coming from numerous sources must be able to be saved quickly and efficiently into these systems. Likewise, the data in your existing core applications has been accumulated over time, at a considerable expense and is now a valuable asset that needs unlocking. These systems must provide a process that allows you to leverage your investment in these systems and data. FileBound provides the tools you need to directly integrate with all your existing applications and to unlock the value of your data.

The FileBound integration solution is broken down into the following four major components:

• Integration Kit which integrates with Windows™, enables desktop scanning, searching, audio recording, screen shot capture and CD/DVD production. The best feature? It is all standard functionality!
• Application Integrator is used to link a business’s core application (i.e. AP, AR, HR, Manufacturing, Practice Management Software) to FileBound. This is accomplished in one of two manners. The first is the mapping of form fields and using a predefined hotkey to launch a FileBound search or indexing event. The second is screen scraping as in a terminal emulator to again launch a FileBound search or indexing event.
• FileBound Object Model – The FileBound Object Model is the API for the FileBound system version 5. The FileBound Object Model is built on the .NET 2.0 framework and is compatible with any .NET 2.0 programming environment, such as Microsoft Visual Studio 2005. The FileBound Object Model provides programmatic access to all functions and features of the FileBound system.
• Custom Development – The FileBound Content Management functionality can be embedded within existing applications or used as a development platform to create new content centric solutions. FileBound provides the APIs, sample code, documentation, and training developers require to successfully build custom Content Management Solutions.

All the FileBound integration solutions are simple to use and implement. They all will compliment your existing assets and software applications. Why shouldn’t you leverage these assets to extend your content management solution? With FileBound, you can.
