Adaptive Information Systems announces upgrade to AdaptFile/VisiFLOW software package; new version allows Workflow application deployment from PC to Enterprise Network.MISSION VIEJO Mission Vi·e·jo A community of southern California southeast of Irvine. It is mainly residential. Population: 96,300. , Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 15, 1996--Adaptive Information Systems Inc. Monday announced it has released an upgrade to its AdaptFile/VisiFLOW software program that enables users to develop workflow applications on a standalone PC before deployment across an enterprise network, thereby saving valuable time and money in development resources. From AdaptFile/VisiFLOW, users will be able to employ the package's Workflow Modeler to build, test and simulate applications under any standard SQL SQL in full Structured Query Language. Computer programming language used for retrieving records or parts of records in databases and performing various calculations before displaying the results. relational database relational database Database in which all data are represented in tabular form. The description of a particular entity is provided by the set of its attribute values, stored as one row or record of the table, called a tuple. -- like Oracle, Sybase, Informix, SQL Server or SQL Base -- which can then be moved in their entirety to a network environment supporting thousands of seats. "We're responding to the demands of our customers who want to extend workflow applications across an enterprise but recognize the inherent benefits in custom building and testing a complete workflow application before taking it live to the network," said Bix Kroener, senior vice president of sales, marketing and operations at Adaptive Information Systems. The new version of AdaptFile/VisiFLOW also incorporates a communications enhancement to barcode, OCR OCR in full optical character recognition Scanning and comparison technique intended to identify printed text or numerical data. It avoids the need to retype already printed material for data entry. and ICR (Intelligent Character Recognition or Image Character Recognition) The machine recognition of hand-printed characters as well as machine printing that is difficult to recognize. applications which allows users to custom-design objects within the workflow application itself. At the University of Southern California The U.S. News & World Report ranked USC 27th among all universities in the United States in its 2008 ranking of "America's Best Colleges", also designating it as one of the "most selective universities" for admitting 8,634 of the almost 34,000 who applied for freshman admission in Los Angeles, Terry Bazylewicz, associate dean for Information Systems, has implemented AdaptFile/VisiFLOW to process the more than 30,000 student applications that the Admissions Office receives during the Dec. 15, 1995 to March 1, 1996 admissions period. Representing more than a half a million pages, the entire application volume must be scanned, barcoded and processed by name prior to being stored in their database which consists of 1.3 million names. According to Bazylewicz, the entire integrated document imaging and workflow management system was initially designed and installed on a PC before it was exploded over the network which supports the USC An abbreviation for U.S. Code. Admissions Office. "When we tested AdaptFile/VisiFLOW, my first reaction was how easy it was to develop our application on a PC and not worry about disrupting or closing down the network," Bazylewicz explained. "I also was impressed by its intuitive user interface, breadth of functions and ease of configuration into our existing database and barcode reader." AdaptFile/VisiFLOW is based on a fully distributed Fully distributed A new stock issue that has been completely resold to the investing public and is no longer held by dealers. fully distributed Of or relating to a new issue of securities that has been sold out. , client/server architecture, supporting an unlimited number of workstations. The system seamlessly integrates five distinct software components into a single application with a common interface and object-oriented technology. In addition to its inherent document imaging and workflow management capabilities, the program has been tightly integrated with many popular third-party text retrieval, COLD and OCR imaging applications. AdaptFile/VisiFLOW is designed to run in a typical client/server environment where the client is a Windows workstation and the server is a DOS, Novell, Windows NT or UNIX UNIX Operating system for digital computers, developed by Ken Thompson of Bell Laboratories in 1969. It was initially designed for a single user (the name was a pun on the earlier operating system Multics). machine. It incorporates robust features for tiling, mark-ups, queue management and reporting and analysis tools. The basic system costs $2,800 per user in 25-user configurations. Availability is immediate through the company's nationwide value-added reseller network. CONTACT: Daly-Swartz PR Jeffrey Swartz, 714/361-6888 kzwk88a@prodigy.com |
