Optix deploys fast

No Programming Needed - Using Optix GUI-based design tools, your application can be up and running in hours instead of weeks or months - and no expensive programming staff is needed. Our drag-and-drop interface lets you quickly implement new indexing and query screens for document repositories. Our Optix server software automatically creates the required DBMS tables to support your designs - no DBA needed.

Optix is Flexible

Manage All Your Files, Not Just Images - With Optix you can index, archive, manage, retrieve, and control all kinds of files, including word-processing files, spreadsheets, databases, and graphics.

Links - Link any document in your Optix database through our easy drag-and-drop linking function, thereby creating families of documents that can be easily referenced and processed to meet your needs. In addition, any document can be linked to the World Wide Web.

Scripting - You can write custom scripts to manage the implementation of Optix functions and easily customize the Optix applications for any particular needs. Optix is scriptable on both Windows and Macintosh platforms.

Annotations And Mark-ups - Optix lets you annotate and mark-up your documents without altering the original image in any way. All annotations and mark-ups are treated as overlays to the original image and are linked so they can all be tracked and compiled. Features include text annotations, note attachments, lines of various weights, and a variety of shapes such as boxes and arrows.

Support For Both Windows And Macintosh - Optix is the only industrial-strength document management system that is optimized for both Macintosh and Windows. Optix for Windows has been engineered for Windows NT/2000/XP. Optix for the Macintosh has been engineered for Mac OS X.

Optix Is Secure

Multiple Levels Of Security Access and User Privileges - provide control over access to documents and what can be done with them.

Check-in/Check-out - Optix ensures revision integrity by allowing only one user to revise a document at any given point in time. Other users are allowed a read-only copy of the checked-out file. This ensures that each member of your workgroup can contribute to a document without the risk of writing over each other's changes.
