Document Capture
SmartSearch provides native TWAIN based imaging support through the SmartCapture option as well as integrates with most any MPF's via digital on-ramp connectors like Office Workflow for Kyocera HyPAS, ScanFlowStore for Xerox, DigiDocFlow for Ricoh/Savin, SimplifyScan for Sharp, Office Workflow for Sharp OSA, eCopy, NSI AutoStore and ScanTag for Muratec. In addition, SmartSearch can integrate with any capture software or MFP device using standard capture and drop to a directory, where either CSV or XML metadata files can be read and imported into the document repository. The XML Transform module will allow SmartSearch to read any type of XML schema and convert the XML data to a format supported by SmartSearch.

SmartSearch also integrates with industry leading capture vendors Kofax, PSIGen, Artsyl and Kodak CapturePro. SmartSearch has been outfitted with a certified Kofax release script that allows a direct release of documents and data into SmartSearch from the Kofax Capture 9.x interface as well as XML Transform templates for integration into Kodak CapturePro and other leading capture interfaces.

SmartCapture Interface

SmartSearch provides advanced image processing technologies with the Capture Workflow module providing features such as: zonal OCR, content search, PDF creator, BCR, bar code and blank page separation and image enhancement. SmartSearch comes pre-packed with KeyFree Indexing or OCR assisted data entry as well as Data Xchange for internal ODBC data updates. DataMerge services are also available for ODBC type connections with external data sources. Both tools allow end-users to quickly and easily scan and index documents with reduced data entry requirements.

Architecture
SmartSearch is based on Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) and built on the .NET platform. With a strong belief in the use of open architecture and industry standards, Square 9 Softworks created SmartSearch not only as a cost effective solution but also as a powerful platform to expand on. Features like Active Directory integration and SOA architecture deliver functionality still not found in many more expensive “Enterprise Level” solutions.

SmartSearch’s open architecture and adherence of industry standards ensures that it is the right solution for the present and the future. By storing documents in their native file format (PDF, TIFF, JPG, PCX, TXT, RTF, CSV, Word, Outlook, PowerPoint and Excel), SmartSearch makes sure your documents will always be available.

SmartSearch combines this use of open file formats with the power of Microsoft’s SQL Server 2005 and 2008 database engine. Long established as an industry standard, MS SQL Server delivers unparalleled performance. Should a company wish to integrate SmartSearch with other database applications, its open table structure within SQL Server provides an ODBC compliant platform for data exchange.

Hardware Requirements
The SmartSearch Server components have been certified on 32 and 64 bit Microsoft XP Professional, 2003 R2, 2008 and 2008 R2 Server including most virtual machine platforms such as VMWare and Microsoft Virtual Server. SmartSearch supports smart client installation on Windows XP Pro, Vista and Windows 7 - 32 or 64 bit clients. The Microsoft .NET platform is required for the operation of SmartSearch, however it is automatically included with the installation of SmartSearch along with the Microsoft SQL 2005 Express database engine.

SmartSearch is a storage independent solution. Records archived within SmartSearch can be saved to any server on the network requiring only a UNC Share path or mapped drive. If a company elects to archive its records to a near line jukebox or offline on CD or DVD, SmartSearch will support either storage environment.
