Web Server

The OnBase Web Server provides users with secure, Web-based access to enterprise data, documents and real-time interactions with business processes from anywhere and at anytime. The OnBase Web Server can improve the ways that organizations do business with public customers, extranet partners and remote employees.

Microsoft® Internet Explorer Web browsers function as secure Internet or intranet clients that connect to a centrally managed OnBase Web Server. For compliance and process management purposes, a secure audit trail is maintained of user activity.

The OnBase Web Server also can serve as an integration platform for distributed, HTTP-based, enterprise applications. Documents, objects and workflow process data can be rendered on demand in many standard compatible file formats such as PDF, JPG, PNG, TIF, text, or XML.

Application

The OnBase Web Server can be deployed to users as either pure HTML or with automatically-distributed ActiveX® Controls.  The HTML-only Web client is available to provide a base-level Web client without the need to deploy ActiveX controls to each client desktop machine. OnBase ActiveX viewer controls provide more advanced OnBase user features to the browser, including OnBase standard features such as rubber band zooming, drag-and-drop copying of pages across documents, saving pages as new documents and deleting pages from documents. To minimize network bandwidth consumption, the OnBase ActiveX viewer is intelligently cached on the browser client workstation to eliminate repeated downloading. New control downloads will only occur if deployed by the system administrator.

OnBase Web Server's StatusView interface allows an administrator or user to configure a custom screen to display all of the information in OnBase a user typically needs to see on a regular basis.  Using the StatusView interface to display information that is needed throughout a work day can drastically reduce the time it takes to access certain OnBase features and the time to retrieve documents. StatusView provides flexibility by allowing the creation of views or layouts unique to every job function. This can be accomplished on an individual basis or by department. StatusView is also efficient, eliminating the need to perform searches within the standard interface by automatically displaying results upon login.

The OnBase Web Server provides true Internet access to OnBase document repositories with existing OnBase document, security, user group, database and file storage configurations. The OnBase Web Server will co-exist in parallel with OnBase configuration and input processing workstations. Multiple OnBase Web Servers can be deployed in parallel server Web farms, including inexpensive Web server appliances. The OnBase Web Server requires an underlying Microsoft Internet Information Server 5.0/6.0 running on Microsoft Windows 2000/2003. All communications are performed using standard Internet network protocols that are compatible with SSL and VPN secure connections.

A full reference set of ASP.NET web pages is provided with the OnBase Web Server for out-of-the-box document management, workflow, user administration and remote diagnostic functionality through the Web browser environment.
