Innovative document processing solutions

The xbound product line was developed to overcome the considerable challenges faced by IT departments and system integrators when implementing an enterprise-wide digital mailroom solution. These challenges include:

 

• multi-channel processing of incoming documents from different input sources
• combining leading capture technology components to create the optimum solution
• quick setup of different processes on the production platform
• integration of existing systems, e.g. ERP, EDM, workflow and company databases
• scaling and distributing the system across multiple locations or sites

 

xbound consists of a neutral integration platform for document-based processes and a variety of functional components for importing, processing and exporting any document type, whether paper-based or electronic.

 

These components can either be provided by foxray, as part of the standard xbound functionality, or provided by other market-leading technology providers. For example, specialist OCR/ICR technologies can be incorporated to handle semi-structured documents. In addition, the xbound integration platform allows IT departments or system integrators to independently incorporate their own components via a standard interface (SDK).

 

The xbound Platform allows any type or number of document-oriented processes to be defined, processed and monitored. The platform allows processes for new projects to be defined quickly without any programming and with minimal effort using a drag-and-drop graphical user interface.

 

Processes can contain defined rules between each process step allowing conditional routing of documents within the process depending on a pre-defined condition such as document type or field value. Parallel processes can also be defined.

 

At the end of the process both documents and data can be exported to multiple backend systems, such as EDM, ERP and company databases, by using standard integration components. All major EDM systems are supported and custom integrations can be configured using the xbound XSLT custom adapter.

 

The xbound Platform is built on the latest Microsoft technologies including .Net, Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) and web services, so the ability to distribute and scale the solution comes as standard.
