Clearview™
Iriss
Desktop Gadget
Dramatically Alter & Simplify Access to Basic Content Services
Across the Enterprise
In
as many ways as Enterprise Content Management (ECM) and Document Management
solutions have come into prime time as infrastructure or core
business application requirements for the modern business
organization, they still have not achieved the widespread or
pervasive adoption across all desktops within the enterprise as
they should. This is primarily due to the traditional
challenges associated with the high cost for desktop ECM or web
client licenses, as well as the relative complexity associated
with the training and daily usage for the casual user needing
only basic content services. Clearview continues to
redefine the ECM landscape with the revolutionary Clearview
Iriss Desktop Gadget specifically designed to overcome
these issues and promote adoption of casual and power ECM users
across the enterprise.
Inspired by the newest Windows Vista™ user experience, the
revolutionary Iriss is a mini-application that
floats on the desktop awaiting user activation for
search or storage requests to be passed to the Clearview
system for processing. While the original vision for
the Iriss was derived from Vista-like innovation,
it actually works on both Windows Vista and Windows® XP desktops
alike. To activate content retrieval, users simply
select keywords, text strings, or tagged search criteria from
any Windows or Web business application on the desktop and
then simply drop the search criteria onto the Iriss. The Iriss
then goes into action and offers a selection of user pre-defined searches to
perform, or to create custom search parameters on-demand to
easily and quickly satisfy casual access to business
information and content. Developed with its own
viewing interface, no other ECM desktop client is required
to support pervasive casual access to basic content services
across the entire business enterprise.
While originally conceived for the casual user of basic
content services, the Iriss so dramatically changes
the ease of access, business application integration, and
overall user experience that power ECM users enjoy the
Iriss as a part of their overall experience as well. To that end, the
Iriss can be configured to actually
interact with both the Windows rich Clearview client as well
as the thin Web client. The Iriss
combines ease of desktop usage with the powerful and deeper
ECM experience offered with access to full Clearview ECM functionality.
To fully complete the casual basic content services
requirement, the Iriss is also a mini-portal
to drop content or documents in order to easily deposit them
into the Clearview ECM repository. Virtually any
content, document, or business object can be saved to the
desktop and then dropped onto the Iriss for storage
activation. The intuitive gadget then prompts information workers to transfer their knowledge of the object
to the Clearview system through guided steps for content
categorization, keyword, or metadata tagging for
proper handling and organization in the Clearview ECM
system.
Clearview's "x"-generation Iriss is just one more
advanced level of innovation offered by the Clearview ECM
suite. Using ECM in your organization has never been so fun
or quite this easy. Explore the Clearview
Iriss Desktop Gadget and see for yourself how we are changing the way
you see Enterprise Content Management.
