Elixir's Opus produces these production streams (or accepts these formats) and Elixir 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.

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.

Deploy quickly

Companies that want to automate their records retention procedures are eager to do so in the shortest time possible, especially when complying with federal, state, and securities regulations.

With traditional document archive systems, systems take weeks or months to deploy, and new user requirements often result in redesign the system. The steps in the process include obtaining and analyzing data; obtaining current user requirements; database design and modeling; system loading at the rate of hundreds of inserts per second; testing and training. The resulting structure is predetermined and static, and users can only search the database as it was designed to be searched.
