Fortis Portal is a thin-client interface designed for those customers facing businesses or geographically distributed environments that require:
| • | Zero “foot print” on the client |
| • | No ActiveX controls |
| • | Access to Fortis documents outside a firewall – thru HTTP/S port |
| • | Standard rendering to PDF documents |
| • | Secure Fortis environment using existing Fortis security credentials |
| • | Load balancing on multiple Web servers |
| • | Access to Fortis documents from Mac computing environments |
| • | Support for RC4 encryption |
| • | Direct access to documents or queries via URL parameters |
Customer access without specialized viewers
Many customer-facing organizations, such as labor departments, department of motor vehicles, service bureaus, and utility companies, require customer access to documents without the necessity to download specialized viewers.
Fortis Portal provides documents in the format you want, on demand without the need for Fortis Web.
Three scenarios where Fortis Portal is most effective.
| • | Customer wants to deliver documents to users outside a firewall |
| • | Customer wants NO “footprint” on the client (no activex control(s)) |
| • | Customer wants ALL documents to be delivered in a standard PDF format |
Advanced toolkit options for easy customization
Fortis Portal includes a host of Fortis Web services that can be called separately or through the provided web-based interface. The interface includes advanced toolkit options and can be customized using standard Microsoft ASP.Net code to resemble your Internet/Intranet site.
Fortis Portal under-the-hood uses the unique Fortis document identifier to retrieve the MAG file, renders it to PDF on-the-fly and automatically starts Adobe Acrobat with the rendered PDF on the client. The entire process occurs only through the HTTP/S port(s) via byte array, so performance is optimized and network security is not affected. Fortis Portal uses an edit or scan license upon rendering or when navigating thru either a folder or query set and then immediately releases the license.
