ASG-Cypress’ visionary technology permits enterprises to archive billions of documents, yet enables individuals or groups to access and distribute any page of any document - instantly. Unlike other archiving systems, which archive documents in their original applications – such as Microsoft® Word or Excel – ASG-Cypress archives the content in a format that enables fast access and retrieval at the page level. Users can quickly access all or part of a document, and extract what is, in effect, a facsimile of it, with 100% fidelity. In other words, with exactly the same content and “look and feel” as the original.

Using ASG-Cypress Knowledge Builder is similar to using a Web-based search engine or Internet directory. Users can also create “prepared” queries that are easy to implement, but are based on a complex set of search instructions.

ASG-Cypress Knowledge Builder enables an organization to eliminate multiple archiving systems and search engines with a common solution that gives users access to all documents created in an enterprise, regardless of what platform they were created on (e.g., mainframe, UNIX®, AS/400®, Windows®). Documents are located using a keyword (or string) and viewed without the need to access the original authoring application – in seconds. Features include:

• Universal Web-based viewer
• Single query that retrieves all relevant pages (instant delivery of only relevant information)
• Minimal network traffic and local caching
• System, full text, and data indexes (indexes are based on an enterprise’s internal business rules)
• Simple folder structures
• Report security integrates with existing Windows/Active Directory/LDAP
