Westbrook Technologies Announces EnableIt and Planet Options for Fortis SE

Westbrook Technologies is pleased to make available two of our most popular Fortis options to the SE configuration. Fortis SE customers can enjoy the image-enabling capabilities of EnableIt, available in two selections:

EnableIt – designed for traditional image-enabling from any host or Windows-based application. Simply identify the data in your application, press a “hot key” or click a button and Fortis presents the associated documents through the COM API viewer or traditional Fortis client.

Enterprise EnableIt – provides not only the traditional image-enabling capability described above but also allows for data to be passed from a host application to Fortis and vice versa. This powerful configuration boasts a wealth of integration techniques, opportunities and alternatives including: e-mail, Web (http requests), data population, encryption/decryption, VB Script, direct SQL statements… and many more!

Additionally, we are pleased to announce the availability of Fortis SE Planet for Fortis SE and Objectif Lune’s PlanetPress users. With the introduction of Fortis SE Planet, you can store and organize intelligent forms with all of your business documents in one seamless and secure application.

Fortis SE EnableIt and Fortis SE Planet join the other options available for Fortis SE: Fortis SE for eCopy ShareScan, Fortis SE for Kofax Ascent Capture, Audit Trail, QuickFind, Data Entry Assistant and Update Assistant to deliver an all-inclusive document management solution to our customers.

For more information, contact your Westbrook Partner or Westbrook Technologies directly.

Largest Public Compensation and Benefits Consulting Organization Experiences Dramatic Results with Fortis

With over 70 offices nationwide, Clark Consulting (Clark) provides integrated compensation, benefits and organizational development solutions to over 3,900 U.S. corporations, banks, and healthcare organizations. Clark Consulting is the largest public company of its kind.

Clark originally had a microfiche system and then moved to document management software, but it was outdated and did not offer enough features and flexibility. Retrieval and printing were slow, remote retrieval was non-existent and the software did not have electronic import capabilities. Additionally, there was no integration potential with Clark’s proprietary software and the Company grappled with major NASD, SCC, Sarbanes-Oxley and broker/dealer compliancy issues.

Westbrook Partner Imaging Path presented Fortis as the solution. Clark was immediately impressed by Fortis’ SQL database structure, electronic importing and remote retrieval capabilities and rich features such as annotations. In addition, the Company saw huge potential with the software’s application and database integration abilities.

Annette Braaten and Lisa Bierwagen of Clark spearheaded the implementation of Fortis, and results were immediate. Fortis enabled two departments to go nearly 100% paperless, and Fortis Office has allowed the Company to easily import client emails that were previously stored on individual computers.

Company: Clark Consulting

Industry: Compensation and benefits consulting

Revenue: $315.6 million

Location: 70 offices nationwide

Number of employees: More than 900

Number of clients: More than 3,900

Westbrook Partner: Imaging Path

Westbrook Technologies’ Software Suites:
                   – Fortis
                   – Fortis Office

Business Metrics Achieved by Fortis:
Two departments are nearly 100% paperless
Receipt of electronic files on CD from insurance carriers instead of four or more boxes of paper
Imaging went from a two-week process to a 20-minute process
Fortis Office allows for easy importing of client emails that were previously stored on individual computers
Data Entry Assistant cuts down indexing time
Better workplace efficiency 

 


.

“We now receive electronic files on CD from our insurance carriers, instead of four or more boxes of paper,” Lisa said. “Imaging went from a two-week process to a 20-minute process and the Data Entry Assistant feature has dramatically cut down indexing time. Additionally, IT has successfully tied our production database to the Fortis database to keep index values updated and synchronized.”

Because of the success Clark experienced with Fortis, future plans are already underway to expand the software’s use. Lisa continued, “We plan to utilize barcodes to improve scanning efficiency, implement Power Web for remote retrieval/input and further integrate Fortis with our proprietary software and in other departments. Overall, we see a lifetime of Fortis at Clark Consulting.”
