“It was crucial for us to find solution that would support the document formats and high transaction volume, render images quickly, and provide complete transparency to our customers while at the same time seamlessly integrate with our complex technical framework,” stated Tim Lalonde, Director of Information Technology, Manitoulin Transport. “FlexSnap is a phenomenal viewer. It is faster and cleaner than any of our previous viewing solutions. FlexSnap provides our customers with a number of benefits including displaying the images faster, eliminating their need to call our IT team in order to view images, and ensuring that the information is secure.”
FlexSnap: HTML is a configurable thin-client HTML viewer that provides high-speed viewing for documents and images stored on a Web server without affecting the end user’s local hard drive or system. It is agnostic to web browsers and runs on any platform. All of the image processing is performed on the server and rendered to the viewer, thereby eliminating the need for the end user to install anything to their computer. One of Snowbound’s four web viewers, FlexSnap: HTML is ideal if there is no control over the end user’s environment or applications.
“Viewing is a component that is often overlooked when companies are deploying content management, ERP, or workflow solutions,” commented Simon Wieczner, CEO, Snowbound Software. “Manitoulin understands the importance, benefits, and return associated with implementing viewing technology. They continually look for new and innovative ways to enhance their customer’s experience. We look forward to our ongoing relationship and the ability to deliver a high-speed viewing solution that exceeds Manitoulin’s needs now and in the future.”
“We strive to form ongoing collaborative relationships with our vendors,” added Lalonde. “The Snowbound team is easy to work with and responsive. They listened to our needs and requirements then delivered a solution to meet the objectives.”
In addition to FlexSnap: HTML, Snowbound also offers additional versions of FlexSnap including an applet with and without a server component. All of the FlexSnap viewers are built in 100% Java and support a wide variety of document and image formats including AFP, Word, PDF, Tiff, JPEG, and many more. FlexSnap addresses the challenges for companies looking to speed up access to information, improve workflow, and support multiple document and image formats.
