Straightforward Integration of Document Infrastructure

Traditionally, companies have had two choices for document technology integration - build it themselves or buy an expensive integration suite. There is now a third choice - Nirva. Nirva is an integration technology that allows you to continue using your existing document technology infrastructure, but opens it up to new web-based front-end processes.

Nirva handles all the processes and operations required in batch and real-time document systems and works with current tools and infrastructure. It allows the seamless integration of multiple databases, key platforms and applications, wrapping key components of the IT infrastructure to create a single unified business solution.

Integrate and create applications, easily

Nirva means that you don't have to invest in new technologies or replace existing IT infrastructure. Rather than adopting expensive new systems, replacing current applications and using costly programming resource, it provides a new way to gain competitive advantage. This is achievable in days, not months.

Gain competitive advantage by rapidly and cost-effectively implementing new, and integrating existing document-based applications to retain and win customer business.

Key Functionality

• As an application server and integration platform, the system can manage all the processes and operations required in a real-time document process (security, sessions, web services, email delivery, etc) or work with existing tools and infrastructure
• New IT components can be easily and rapidly integrated. This means that the solution is very open and not constrained by choice of architecture or strategy
• Nirva enables companies to use existing IT infrastructure and doesn't require the replacement of any core systems (e.g. document composition tools)
• Allows the speedy construction of front-end processes and the orchestration and automation of all associated back-end operations
• Does not impose a specific client, but provides a web interface for your existing infrastructure. This is easily tailored in terms of design and business logic
• Provides the graphical tools to build the client interface (HTML, XML, Java, etc) and interaction with all relevant information systems. It also has an execution engine and administration interface

The Benefits

Nirva helps customer-facing organisations gain significant business advantage:

• Time to market: Develop complex document applications within only a few days. This is five to 10 times faster than developing with specific development or competitive solutions
• Return on Investment: Experience major ROI thanks to reuse of existing technologies and infrastructure, reduced implementation time and license costs
• Cost: Extremely cost-effective when compared with similar approaches to integrating and redefining a company's document infrastructure
• Simplicity: Simple, straightforward coding ensures real savings on development and on-going maintenance
• Openness: Enable organisations to become platform, operating system and development language independent
• Flexibility: Totally adapts itself to your existing processes. This means you aren't restricted by current applications
• Robustness: Improve the overall performance and robustness of your infrastructure

Other Nirva Products

Nirva integration and application development software has also been used to build two products which can provide significant benefits and savings to your document automation processes.

Nirva Track and Trace enables you and/or your customers to trace document automation processes and applications down to as low a level of granularity as you need (e.g. down to individual document level). The product can also measure and report on service levels for all of your document processes and applications. Business benefits include productivity gains, cost reductions and value added services for clients and internal staff.

Nirva Post on Demand is a solution that is aimed at reducing printing and postage costs by allowing office documents to be printed centrally or directly at a print bureaux/outsourcer. Users can be defined to print from their existing output applications to a virtual printer, from where all users' documents can be amalgamated, sorted and then physically printed centrally or at a service provider. Significant cost savings can be achieved through funneling office documents through a centralised point. In addition, Post on Demand allows users to access word processing functions through a front-end interface to an enterprise's document composition tools (e.g. Dialogue; Pres; PrintNet; Doc1; CSF).
