Universal Integration

Client-Side Integration

LearnMode

ImageNow includes a set of patented, nonprogrammatic techniques called LearnMode for integrating with virtually any application delivered to a Microsoft Windows desktop or web browser.

Almost all customers use LearnMode for most, if not all, of their integration requirements. LearnMode provides a point-and-click method for integrating ImageNow and WebNow with three broad classes of applications without writing a single line of code.

Graphical User Interface

Integrate ImageNow with line-of-business applications built with Visual Basic®, C++, Java™ or other standard and delivered to a Microsoft Windows desktop.

Terminal Emulator

Integrate ImageNow with terminal emulators, giving users instant access to documents directly from mainframe or host-based applications.

Web Browser

Integrate with browser-delivered applications, including those rendered using HTML, ActiveX®, Java, Java Swing, Adobe® Flash® or some combination of these.

API Desktop Integration

Access ImageNow or WebNow programmatically by placing a button or hyperlink directly in screens or forms of applications. All major functions are accessible via COM. WebNow is easily referenced from any application that can launch a browser using a hyperlink.

Server-Side Integration

ImageNow Message Agent uses XML (web services) messaging to incorporate mission-critical ImageNow functionality into your application, portal or desktop environment. This enables users to be more effective without having to learn a new interface or technology.

Integrated by Design

In the world of enterprise document management, there are integrated and nonintegrated technologies. Nonintegrated products present a one-dimensional solution, treating the document repository as a stand-alone filing cabinet. This requires users to type the perfect search query to access information.

In contrast, our products eliminate manual searching that rarely delivers the right collection of documents. ImageNow automatically understands the context of a document, so the vast majority of documents needed to complete a task can be retrieved instantly and directly from a host application. The result? Minimal user effort to retrieve the right documents.
