An enterprise content and document archive system. Store, search, retrieve: documents, images, printstreams.

Facilitating the “second life” of transactional documents is as important as the printing and production. Those phases when the documents become part of the company’s retained records archive, and can be used for reprinting, customer support, datamining, marketing analysis, evidence in lawsuits, and other uses.

Elixir lets you utilize your documents completely for archive from these formats:

- AFP
- Images
- LCDS/DJDE
- Line data/3211
- Metacode
- Microsoft® Office® documents
- PDF

Blue Ocean accepts them all, indexing everything, storing it all securely, and waits to deliver information on request.

More than a passive repository
Blue Ocean is a revolutionary database that can serve other applications—and other archive systems—handling the mountains of retained records and delivering them programmatically as required.

Build custom applications
Blue Ocean finds and displays actual documents making them available instantly to your help desk team for example: Where does it hurt? Regulatory compliance, reprinting customer statements, datamining and market analysis, help-desk applications?

Fast, scalable, flexible, cost-effective document database
Blue Ocean is a low-maintenance program that does not require a team in lab coats to manage it. Blue Ocean enables a dramatic reduction in hardware and infrastructure investment, even when it is scaled to enormous sizes. Because Blue Ocean indexes everything on the page, including the positions of all information, you can find what you’re looking for with incomparable ease.

Fast search speeds for large databases
Search speeds start fast and stay fast —no matter the size of the database, in contrast to competitive document-archive systems: SQL cannot handle hundreds of billions of rows, and a multi-terabyte full-text database can take many minutes to return a search. Blue Ocean’s performance is fast: across the size spectrum.

Design on the fly; search on the fly
By viewing a customer statement, for example, and drawing virtual-index rectangles around areas of the page, the search space is dramatically limited so that you can ask “find account numbers starting in 447 that appear at this location on the page.” You don’t have to know in advance how you’re going to use your document database—you can design on the fly, make painless changes, and search without rebuilding or other delays.

Retrieve and view the original
Blue Ocean’s powerful automation feature can initiate file ingestion and other processes based on user configurations. Printstream conversion to Adobe® Acrobat® PDF provides 100% fidelity to the printed versions. Documents are stored securely and these archived originals can be located, then printed, routed, annotated, saved, combined, or delivered to other programs.
