Formic System Design
Fusionplus, Fusionpro and
Fusionx are operated via four separate modules:
-
Design Module
The design module allows you to create your own form designs by,
for example, simply dragging and dropping objects from a library on
to the page. Once completed, the form design can be printed to
paper, published to the web and deployed to tablet PCs. The fields
in your database are automatically defined as you design. It’s here
that you also create the business rules that validate and clean the
data as it is processed.
The design module is not used when processing documents.
Capture & Process Module
The process engine lies at the heart of your Fusion system and
automatically reads handwritten and machine-printed information.
Exceptions will be automatically highlighted for human confirmation
dependant upon the tolerance levels you set. The software will even
check that the extracted data conforms to the business rules you
created at the design stage e.g. tick one box only. Electronic
forms are fully validated at the point of submission and therefore
do not need to be processed.
DataView Module
The dataview module enables you to review, manage and export
processed data. It is a powerful and user-friendly way to interact
with mass data held in Fusion’s database. The data is presented in
table format; columns can be re-ordered and filtered and you can
create charts and graphs for simple analysis.
Management Console
Fusion’s Management Console enables administrators to control
system functions and optimise system usage from a central point.
From the console you can control the functionality available to
users, manage databases, switch on/off the auditing function,
deploy data capture forms to the web, import/export jobs and set
job permissions.
Interoperability
Fusion information capture software operates on a Microsoft SQL
Server platform; projects, data and images are available from any
networked computer.
The software exchanges information with other business
applications through the Application Programming Interface (API) or
via bespoke connectors, for example, to SAP. These systems
include:
- CRM
- Financial systems
- EDM and workflow
- Patient administration
- Risk management
- Activity analysis
- Audit & compliance
- ECM
- Records management
Adding Users
Fusionpro and Fusionx can be extended to
any number of office-based users by simply adding extra seats. Each
seat enables users to design forms, manage the processing of
exceptions associated with paper forms and documents and analyse
the resultant data from all sources.
Field service personnel and other front-line staff completing
forms via tablet PCs simply require the appropriate device with
Fusion loaded on to it. Web users need no more than access to the
web.
Processing Existing (Legacy) Forms
To process an existing form you need to recreate it in Fusion.
Simply scan the form into the system and, using Fusion's design
module, copy it by tracing over its image.
