IBM Announces General Availability of IBM FileNet Image Manager Active Edition 4.0
FileNet, an IBM company, announced general availability of IBM FileNet Image Manager Active Edition (IMAE) 4.0.
FileNet IMAE allows organizations to securely and permanently store immense volumes of fixed information in a robust and highly available environment
Designed to meet mission-critical document imaging requirements, IMAE combines FileNet's highly scalable image repository with FileNet P8 Content, Application and Process Engines. The result is a powerful, scalable imaging system for the capture, control, storage, access and consolidation of any type of digital content, that makes the right information available to the people who need it, helping them make better decisions faster.
IMAE brings together the benefits of a dedicated imaging platform with the FileNet P8 Enterprise Content Management (ECM) platform, enabling organizations to leverage content and processes to meet compliance requirements for better, faster decision making, improved operational efficiency and lower total cost of ownership.
"IMAE enables FileNet imaging users to extend the value of their investment in the world's best-performing enterprise image management solution," said Lee Roberts, general manager, Content Management, for IBM. "IMAE offers all the proven Image Services functionality our high-end imaging users have come to depend on, along with the FileNet P8 next-generation functionality they need to expand their ECM infrastructure and activate their content."
The product is ideal for existing FileNet Image Services customers looking to leverage FileNet Records Management, Business Process Management and Web Content Management capabilities.
IMAE enables billions of documents to be shared by tens of thousands of users on a global basis. The system handles scanning volumes from thousands to several million pages a day, and high speed import volumes in excess of 4 million pages a day. IMAE addresses the requirements of large numbers of distributed users through remote and document-level caching, remote entry services, high-speed batch printing, as well as support for optical storage and Computer Output to Laser Disk (COLD).
New features include support for federated annotations -- items such as electronic "sticky notes," rubber stamps, and comments -- and support for high numbers of distributed servers, as well as improved security and high availability capabilities. Additionally, the solution offers world-class disaster recovery capabilities, with its unique content transaction logs that support recovery of partial or complete systems. IMAE also offers support for the new Hewlett-Packard Itanium/Integrity server platform as well as a variety of databases and operating systems, providing flexibility of deployment across multiple platforms.
