Whether a business enterprise or private citizen, you often need to access information which is captured and kept in a paper based filing system, or stored electronically on a computer somewhere.

The evolution of moving from paper based systems to electronically filed systems sounds great in theory, until you are faced with the challenge of tracking down information that can’t be found on the company computer, couldn’t be captured electronically, still sits in a paper folder, or the paper version has gone missing!

Even worse . . . it seems to have disappeared somewhere out there in the nether regions of cyberspace.

Current document management systems have made it easier to scan from paper, store it electronically, and then retrieve and print information for standard document formats and file sizes.

But what happens when you want to access information that comes in a difficult file format, is too large, or complex in its dimensions and graphics?

At the moment, these files are left in their paper filing system, which means you are still having to juggle with numerous methods of filing and retrieval. Not actually saving you time, or money, which was the original intention for having a document management system in the first place.

To complement this "gap" in the process, Onstream Systems have developed a range of imaging software called Trapeze that sits on top of an existing document management systems, or can be used by itself. It allows companies to store both standard and difficult documents. More importantly, it gives you the ability to browse, view, retrieve and manipulate these documents over the internet, as if they were paper in your hands.

Our unique web streaming technology works intuitively and quietly in the background. It can download thumbnails of the main image or document, through your web browser, giving you the flexibility to view many images as thumbnails, and then decide which ones you want to download as a whole file.

It then does the download "at the speed of light".

Once you have the download, you can manipulate the content of an image file as if they were a paper document. This gives you the flexibility to make changes, annotate, write your signature and block out or redact private information for legal or privacy purposes.

Large file maps and drawings can now be viewed as an image, but worked "within" as if it were an original paper document.
