Applications
Papyrus Objects is successfully used to implement everything from distributed
print management, correspondence/letter writing, archive and output management
integration, email/fax and web access, bug reporting and tracking to order
entry and sales applications with no additional external programming.
Since many organizations want to operate
with fewer systems it makes great sense to
standardize on a common platform for document
management and process management rather
than to deploy, integrate and maintain separate
systems.
Papyrus Objects
The central infrastructure component of the Papyrus System offers an integrated
solution that incorporates the capabilities of both document automation and
administration. It is available from the mainframe to a plug-in appliance.
Some features of Papyrus Objects are normally
available in transaction systems such as
CICS, IMS or Tuxedo and environments such
as CORBA or J2EE compliant Java Application
Servers. The functionality of Papyrus Objects
is available without programming special
Java transaction objects.
Papyrus Objects
uses powerful Peer-to-Peer capabilities
for enhanced productivity
Peer-to-Peer enables users to skip a middleman-
a server for example - and draw information
directly from other devices on a given network.
The potential for correspondence applications
is that thousands of users, really anybody
who is on a computer can share information,
data, document resources or really anything
with another peer in the intranet and internet.
This makes Peer-to-Peer the next evolution
of how to leverage the Internet. While the
Web allowed the user to view a business document
in the browser, Peer-to-Peer holds the promise
of intelligently connecting all desktops
with one another. The implemented hierarchy
model in Papyrus prevents misuse of such
a powerful open system.
For distributed correspondence applications
Peer-to-Peer technology can deliver following
key results:
•
|
address data intensive application
bottlenecks
|
•
|
harness virtually any distributed
resource unobtrusively and invisibly
|
•
|
maintain the security of distributed
document
applications, code and data.
|
Peer-to-Peer distributed
computing can provide a 10 to 100 times
performance improvement for correspondence
applications, for 10 to 20 percent
of the cost of any alternative solution.
