Product Details
Flexible Retrieval Services
Riptide® uses Web Services to provide application-level integration with many widely adopted enterprise content management (ECM) repositories and content services platforms (CSP) that have REST APIs. This makes retrieving content for transformation easy, fast and flexible to fit business needs and outcomes.
Sophisticated High-Volume Transformation Services
Riptide® content transformations are setup, configured and managed through the administrator’s interface. Transformations are setup to run in real time upon request, automated within a business process via workflow, and scheduled through high-volume batch processing at scale. Administrators have full control over transformations, including document selection, transformation formats and output methods.
Riptide’s highly configurable content transformation engine is used to convert and standardize content that is generated by applications on mainframe and distributed systems and stored in ECM and CSP repositories on-premises and Cloud platforms. Riptide® standardizes content regardless of document type, image file and print format into widely acceptable PDF and HTML formats, including PDF/A for long term archiving, and PDF/UA and HTML5 for content accessibility.
Advance Output Distribution Services
Riptide® document transformations are used to build, output, and distribute personalized documents for viewing or printing. Administrators select conditional processing rules to define and format templates. When content transformations are executed, the templates are applied to the content to personalize documents and deliver them to any supported digital and print device. Content stored in ECM or CSP repositories is available to be incorporated in the final output document.
Output can be directed to local or network attached printers, enterprise print queues for batch print and mail systems as well as a variety of electronic distribution solutions. Electronic methods include email attachment, FTP and HTTP transmission, invited pull through SMS notification, ingestion into a new CSP and delivery to an EFSS or BOX folder for collaboration.
