No special software or hardware
It may not be possible to control the software installations at an end users’ site, or it may be expensive and difficult to organise. With the RedTitan document server, access to documents is from a standard web browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator/Communicator.

The server software of course operates on any Windows PC running Microsoft Windows (NT4 is recommended).

Increasingly companies are opting for more flexibility and variety in printer procurement to reduce the cost of ownership. The RedTitan system is vendor-independent and allows documents to be printed at any site on any printer.

Secure access with reporting facilities
Client access to viewing and printing systems is password controlled for confidentiality. The RedTitan system will operate in a secure way even if the public network is used. Users’ access to documents is logged for auditing and management reports.

To illustrate how the system works, imagine a network of users creating documents at sites remote from a central organisation:

1. A remote user connects to the public Internet or a private intranet.
2. The user submits requests from a ‘form’ on a web page. Limited validation is automated on the client side using JavaScript.
3. The RedTitan document server transmits the user information to the application program.
4. The application validates the request and submits document composition parameters to the RedTitan dynamic document formatter (or publishes a rejection statement).
5. The document formatter composes the finished document (e.g. in Adobe PDF) and publishes it in the users’ secure directory on the document server web site.
6. The remote user views and prints the completed document from the web browser (name and password protected).

Customisable interface

The browser interface is fully customisable using standard cascading stylesheets.

RedTitan can help with the customisation, create any bespoke software required to interface to the organisation’s mainframe systems and advise on the installation or adaption of suitable network hardware.
