Technical Specifications:
PaperWise Server is the framework of the PaperWise product platform and supports all of the system functions. PaperWise is architected around Microsoft’s SQL server and allows the system to be exceptionally simple to manage while maintaining its flexibility and scalability.
Built on SQL – Take advantage of the world’s premier database. PaperWise offers nearly unlimited expansion and performance by leveraging the power of Microsoft’s SQL server. Utilize numerous industry standard tools to integrate with other systems or generate comprehensive reports.
Simplified Management - All database installation, configuration and maintenance functions are handled through the PaperWise Management Console. This intuitive application allows visibility to all functions within the server. Create new electronic file cabinets, assign rights, configure storage locations, and create archive tasks.
Comprehensive Security – PaperWise takes security as seriously as you do. Control access by user, group, and file cabinet. Limit images, notes, and annotations independently. Even build custom restrictions based on the values of your fields to restrict access down to individual files.
Flexible Storage – PaperWise uses data volumes assigned to each filing cabinet to make storage options flexible, expandable and easy to manage. This dramatically simplifies expansion or migration to new storage platforms. PaperWise also allows images to be stored within the database for even greater versatility.
Minimum System Requirements
Intel® Pentium or compatible 500-megahertz (MHz) or higher processor
Microsoft Windows® 95 – Windows 2003 Server
512 megabytes (MB) of RAM
Hard disk storage relative to the expected document volume
CLIPPING
One of the most powerful features
of PaperClip Imaging Software is its ability to integrate
with existing databases. By "Image-Enabling" your
applications you can leverage your investment in your existing
system and simplify the user interface. Immediate access to
documents while in the database record will reduce
information retrieval times and improve staff responsiveness to
customer inquiries.
Data existing in your system can be
linked to the PaperClip "Folder". Clipping allows
quick and easy access to the list of documents related to
record. Since your users already know how to the database, they already
know how to use the imaging system. Data can not be transposed
or entered incorrectly, PaperClip links directly to the
database.
A simple "Hot Key" stroke
will retrieve a list of documents including images, word
processing and spreadsheets. The folder contains the entire file
on this customer including documents received from the
"outside world" and those created
"in-house". Documents generated to the customer are
included as part of their folder. Spreadsheets, Proposals,
Contracts, Budgets, virtually all desktop documents can be
included in the folder.
Clicking on a document will display the image or launch the
application such as Word. The documents can be printed or faxed
directly from the system. Documents can be routed to other users
for processing or review. Multiple users can access the document
simultaneously. No more lost or misplaced files.

NOSS - Network Object Storage System
Co-developed with Cheyenne Software, NOSS is unique to PaperClip and provides very efficient optical storage management. The NOSS maximizes disk utilization, reduces network traffic, provides secure back up, controls disk caching and pre-fetching of images from optical disk. NOSS effectively provides a "Firewall" between the network and the images stored on optical. Some systems stored data and images on the same drive making the images vulnerable to browsing or other cyber mischief. NOSS prevents random browsing of your images while managing the secure storage of the images.
Disk Utilization - File management overhead reduced from 20-25% with DOS to 1% with NOSS. 99% of the Optical disk is available.
Reduced Network Traffic - Workstations directly access the NOSS optical disk.
Intelligent Cache - Move next image to cache disk for faster retrieval.
Pre-Fetching - Moves future work to magnetic disk for faster access.
Disaster Recovery - Reconstruct NOSS Database from image files.
Read after Write Verification - Assures data integrate.
Disk Mirroring - Automatically make a back-up copy of optical for off-site storage.
Multiple SCSI Addressing - Will support up to five Jukeboxes for system expansion.

PRODUCTION MODE
PaperClip's Production Mode allows users to split their screen. This allows the user to easily move from their database to PaperClip to the image. Having ALL the information in front of them, the user will be more productive and filing costs will be reduced.
PAPERCLIP SCREEN IMAGE WINDOW
DATABASE SCREEN
Users can toggle from the database directly to the PaperClip folder. The images will be displayed in the viewer screen to the right. Improve customer service, reduce "phone tag" and get the information you need to do your job.

TYPICAL
PAPERCLIP IMAGING INSTALLATION
Typically, much of the imaging
system already exists in the client's information system. With
the addition of some imaging specific components, the existing
hardware will support the new application. The PaperClip
software resides on the existing LAN server. PaperClip will run
on Novell or NT servers.
Images are stored on Optical
platters within a jukebox (80Gb-1000+Gb). A NOSS (Network Object
Storage System) server controls the jukebox. Images are written
to the next available platter track without hands-on
administrators.
Images are scanned at the
workstation and can be routed for indexing. Once indexed, the
index information is stored on the database server and the
images are permanently stored on the jukebox.
The Clients can run Windows '95,
'98 or NT workstation. The protocol can be IPX, SPX, or TCP/IP.
Once the images are indexed and stored, users can easily
retrieve them from their desktops. Users can view, print, route,
fax and even annotate documents.
The SQL (Structured Query
Language) database support the index data related to the stored
images. Information such as Member #, SSN#, Student #, Case #,
Name etc. can be searched by the database engine. Once found,
the results are sent to the client for use in image retrieval.
PaperClip supports Microsoft SQL, Oracle and SyBase SQL engines.
