What are the features of an Integrated Information Distribution System (IIDS)?
When you deploy an IIDS from Chiconi Technologies you gain a host of innovative features that will radically improve the flow of information through your organisation.
Seamless Integration
One of the benefits of an IIDS is that it is faceless to the end user. There is no new user interface for your employees to learn. With IIDS integration the information they need is delivered through the familiar medium of their existing applications and devices.
This integration works in both directions, so there’s no need to spend time converting, exporting, saving or filing information to the right location. Your IIDS handles all of that automatically, so your information is always up-to-date… effortlessly.
Real Time Information
With an IIDS in place your employees are always accessing the very latest information. As soon as a new piece of information is entered (and approved through a workflow system where appropriate) it becomes available to everyone who is authorised to access it. Problems associated with viewing out of date information are eliminated, because everybody has access to the latest version through the IIDS.
You’re in control
One of the main problems with stand-alone applications is that by definition they operate in an uncontrolled environment. Anybody can create a document or file and can store it anywhere: on their local hard drive, a removable disk, a network storage device, a company database. Keeping track of information and following a defined workflow process becomes extremely difficult in such an environment.
An IIDS transforms your existing stand-alone applications and devices into fully integrated distributed systems, with data stored on the most appropriate component of your existing IT infrastructure, and managed through the central IIDS repository. Workflow and document control are all taken care of by the IIDS.
Access from anywhere
Because it is standards based an IIDS from Chiconi Technologies opens up a whole world of possibilities for accessing your information. Connect from anywhere and your IIDS makes your information available through any IIDS enabled application on any IIDS enabled device.
Get information updates on your mobile phone directly from the IIDS via SMS messaging.
Access company spreadsheets, sales figures or other data on the road with your wireless PDA.
Monitor performance data from a factory production line in real-time on your computer at home.
Give your customers remote access to selected information that relates to their account.
The scope for expanding the range of applications and devices that your IIDS will integrate with is practically limitless.
