Parallel Processing Engine is developed so that multiple documents can be processed simultaneously. We created High Performance Network to reduce network load and to quickly deliver information from the source to the client. And now we introduce Aivika Capture and Aivika Capture Pro, designed to help you select and send documents easier and quicker than before

New opportunities in the connected world

11 - May - 2018

Today we are living in a world where waiting for information is a luxury we do not have. Everyone expects to get answers immediately, whether it's an order confirmation, delivery notification, or any additional document that is not part of, but is still relevant to the process. Most of these processes still require information, such as a paper or digital document, to be transported from point A to point B, which could form a bottleneck in any company workflow. This poses an opportunity for businesses that embrace the technology to optimize document workflows, making sure that documents can be stored in any application, in the right way, and using the fastest way possible.

Let's connect

A connector allows you to communicate with an existing backend application, such as SharePoint, OneDrive for Business, NetDocuments, M-Files and many more. It is not meant for sending information only, but also to receive information, making two-way communication possible. This allows the user to interact with the backend application, from a client that is not supported by that application, such as an MFP or Outlook e-mail client. Not only will this makes the capturing process easier for the user, it also helps to reduce time, cost and logistics.

For example, if a document from an MFP or e-mail needs to be sent to an accounting application and a DMS, the document will need to be stored first on the drive. Then you will need to find a specific record (e.g. a customer) on the accounting application, and drag the document to that location. Then you will need to repeat the same process on the DMS. With ScannerVision and Aivika connectors you are able to send the same document from an MFP or e-mail to both accounting application and DMS in one single step, eliminating intermediate steps and redundancy, while automatically sending notifications to stakeholders if required.

Utilizing our connector, a law firm with multiple offices in the U.S. has been eliminating middleware solution and directly scan to NetDocuments. One of the largest non-food retailer in South Africa has been using the SQL connector to scan directly to their custom business application. While a New Zealand government agency continues expanding their scan capabilities on their devices.

No two organizations are the same

If two companies are using the same application from one vendor, it does not mean that both environments are exactly the same. As an example, one SharePoint environment can differ greatly from another. This is the reason that we design all our connectors with flexibility in mind, to accommodate various configurations, and to make sure that zero to minimal changes would be needed on the current backend configuration.

More powerful and flexible

Since there are thousands of business applications out there, it is impossible to create a connector for each one of them. Luckily, not having a connector does not mean that you cannot communicate with another application. With our VBScript and JScript connectors we have developed many solutions to connect to local software vendors who offer SOAP or REST API. And with standards such as XML, communicating with script connectors is becoming much easier than before.

To make our solution even more powerful, in the next few days we will introduce two additional script connectors: C# and PowerShell. With these connectors you are able to load any .NET assembly, eliminating the need to reinvent the wheel, and are also able to write critical information to the logs, making it easier to implement, test and maintain scripts. In this modern day, C# and PowerShell are two of the most well-known languages within the developers and system administrators community, and will slowly replace the ageing VBScript and JScript.

If you are interested in developing connectors or scripts for your customers and would like to utilize our resources, our development team is ready to fulfill your requirements. Please contact our Business Process Services team bps@ubunye.com for any inquiries or questions regarding connectors and scripts.
