Conference iosg::all-in-1_v30

1985.0. "ALL-IN-1 Filecab solutions ?" by COPCLU::RUNE (Rune Gottschalk @DMO) Thu Dec 17 1992 14:32

  I have an ALL-IN-1 IOS customer (600 users) that is currently designing his 
  future office strategy. He has evaluated different solutions primarily for 
  the PC platform and therefore also TeamLinks. He will continue to use 
  ALL-IN-1 IOS for some users which gives TeamLinks some credits !  On the 
  other hand he has power to phase out our environment if he doesn't find 
  what he is looking for.
  
  He is very interested in office solutions that can provide him with 
  stronger archiving facilities than ALL-IN-1 and TeamLinks are able to 
  deliver today. His organisation generates about 5-700.000 documents per 
  year and it is essential that documents can be accessed on-line for at 
  least 2 years.
  
  He has several times asked me if there was a way that the index facilities 
  in ALL-IN-1 could be expanded with more fields for reference numbers etc.  
  The reason was that he was interested in starting up using standard 
  ALL-IN-1/TeamLinks archiving facilities and later on decide what to do !
  
  We have also talked about ALL-IN-1/TRS (if it's still alive) as a solution, 
  but then we are missing the PC (TeamLinks) client.
  
  He knows that there is a lot of special archiving applications avaliable 
  but on the other side he prefere solutions where large amount of document 
  archiving is a very integrated part of the office environment, - something 
  I believe we miss in our office strategies. 
  
  Can anyone give me a hint of how to solve this case ?
  
  Could ALL-IN-1/TRS be a solution ?

    Consider developing an archival system based on VTX Text Retrieval
    System as the repository.  This will give text retrieval capabilities
    across multiple platforms with quite a bit of flexibility.  Should be a
    fairly simple matter of programming ;^).
    
    Seriously, with the document volume that you are considering, somethin
    of this sort is necessary.  Check out the VTX conference for work going
    on in this area (toolkits, etc.).
    
    Good luck,

    Rune,
    
    Have you tried the TRS conference which was announced in note 4.42?

    Thanks for the hints about using VTX.
    
    I did try the TRS conference but it seems that the ALL-IN-1/TRS 
    development team got the axe !  ALL-IN-1/TRS was by the way a U.S. 
    product with hardcoded messages etc . . .
