SBimage

Overview | Summary of SBimage

SBimage is a secure digital document management system that enables corporations to store and retrieve electronic documentation generated by the company or received from an external source.

This software, developed by Secure Data Content in South Africa, offers users a number of essential features of document management that includes enhanced security of stored documents; reliability and stability; and friendly user-interfaces. Furthermore, the system has specifically been developed with the user's needs in mind in that the flexible design allows SBimage to integrate with the client's business, rather than the business having to adapt to fit the application; and, as a locally developed system, SBi is able to service the requirements of the client more easily and directly.

In addition to the above, SBimage supports a wide range of industrial scanners, thereby giving clients more choices and flexibility in this regard. SBimage makes it extremely easy to retrieve and distribute stored documents to those that need them, and since it is integrated with MS Outlook and Lotus Notes as well as with leading computer-based fax applications such as RightFax and WinFax, it provides the capability of direct e-mailing and faxing of documents from the application itself.

The SBimage system has been successfully implemented at a number of clients over several months, undergoing rigorous testing in real-world situations. The application now has several levels of security, making it possible to control access to sensitive documentation stored within the system and at the same time, multiple users can access the same document simultaneously. SBimage is developed in Visual Basic and incorporates the latest COM+ and OO technologies; thus, this API- based, three-tier system allows for easy integration with Windows-based applications.

"The system has been redesigned and re-architectured from its predecessor "DIS6" in order to give us the scalability that is now required for the local market in particular," commented Tony Nutter, MD of SecureData Content. "Thus, many more organizations will be able to utilize this latest version knowing that it will be able to handle their on-going growth requirements especially as the revised pricing model has been specifically designed with this in mind."

The system is successfully deployed at a number of local and international customers, giving them a range of benefits of efficient management of their electronic documentation.
