Fusionplus, Fusionpro and Fusionx are operated via four separate modules: -
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.
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.
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.
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.
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:
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.
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.
