SHARP OPEN SYSTEMS ARCHITECTURE PRODUCTIVITY THROUGH INTEGRATION ® SHARP DOCUMENT SOLUTIONS
DISCOVER AN ENTIRELY NEW WAY OF WORKING In this demanding, ever more competitive world, having fast, easy access to critical business systems is more important than ever. That used to mean sitting at your workstation. But not any more. A Sharp innovation, Sharp OSA® (Open Systems Architecture) development platform, allows users to control the power of their back-end systems right from the MFP control panel.
SHARP OPEN SYSTEMS ARCHITECTURE APPLICATION INTEGRATION MODULE (AIM) The application integration module lets you add metadata when you’re scanning documents. At the simplest level, this data could just be a record of your name and the subject matter: as a fax cover sheet, for example. But that’s just one option. More sophisticated applications could include adding a description of a scanned image or a project reference which can be used by the remote application.
APPLICATION COMMUNICATIONS MODULE (ACM) With ACM a remote application can take control of the MFP and use it as an input, output, scanning or display device. Your staff could use it, for example, to access records from your customer database.
SHARP OPEN SYSTEMS ARCHITECTURE EXTERNAL ACCOUNTING MODULE (EAM) EAM uses bidirectional communication with a server application to let you control who has access to the different features of your MFP. You might want to restrict the use of colour to certain individuals or workgroups, for instance, to keep costs down. Once the operator logs on at the front panel display he or she is able to use the features for which they have been individually authorised.
WORKING THE WAY YOU WANT TO More than just a feature set of the MFP, Sharp OSA provides developers with a suite of powerful tools to truly customise document workflows. And thanks to our wide-reaching relationships with a growing range of software developers and resellers, you can be sure of finding a solution that’s just right for you. There are four ways in which you can implement Sharp OSA within your organisation, depending on the applications you have.
SHARP OPEN SYSTEMS ARCHITECTURE INSIDE SHARP OSA GETTING TECHNICAL Sharp OSA leverages the versatility of XML, SOAP and XHTML for streamlined development and broad platform compatibility. Using a standard web application development model, developers can quickly and easily create applications that can dynamically display custom user menus on the MFP’s LCD panel. These applications can also control the functions of the MFP.
