O'Pin Systems' REVEAL Enterprise
REVEAL® Enterprise is an electronic report management and distribution system that connects every reporting and document system to every information consumer in your organization. It is an easy-to-use and highly flexible solution that captures reports from mainframe, midrange and network-based applications and stores them in a centralized repository accessible to users 24 hours per day, 7 days per week.
REVEAL can automatically capture report output from multiple systems running on any platform, catalog and index the contents, apply security rules and distribute individual pages or bundles of report pages through private networks, intranets and the Internet. The intuitive web-based interface allows users to view, print and download reports – or selected portions of a report – on demand. Cross-repository searches for specific report generations eliminate the manual exercise of locating a file cabinet and digging out a paper report that may not even be there. Search drill-downs within a report using string and indexed searches provides convenient data-mining functionality where data can be exported to other software with pre-defined templates as well as copy-paste features.
REVEAL provides easy systems administration to add/change/delete reports and users through simple point-and-click operations. Reports are identified and organized through easy-to-recognize, user-definable report names and categories, arranged in easy-to-navigate folders and each report generation is individually listed. Global and individual report retention parameters can be set for automatic purge or archival to disk, tape, CD-ROM or optical drives.
REVEAL Enterprise drastically reduces the costs associated with mainframe-generated paper-based reports by eliminating the need for palettes of paper, large system printers, printer maintenance, file cabinets for storage, microfiche, manual labor to separate and package reports, and delivery mechanisms.
REVEAL increases security using powerful features such as role- and user-based access control, audit control, authorization control, and data authentication controls to monitor and enforce individual access and viewing privileges of the most sensitive information.
Automating report storage and distribution increases IT efficiencies by providing new functionalities inherent in electronic files previously unavailable with paper-based reports.
- System reports and documents created from multiple applications reside in one secure repository. Because reports are viewed through one portal the IT department does not need to support multiple applications.
- REVEAL enables long-term storage to comply with legal and business retention requirements.
- Meta data that provides report usage statistics serves as an audit trail that allows management to make informed decisions about how to administer and manage an organization's reports. This audit trail also provides a means to achieve compliance for HIPAA or Sarbanes-Oxley regulations.
- Significantly reduces CPU utilization and network traffic.
- Reports are made available to users as soon as they are produced by the reporting system.
REVEAL boosts productivity through faster delivery of time-critical business information enabling workers to make better decisions. The need to manually re-key data is eliminated with the ability to download reports to their desktop applications.
