Complete Information Integration

On average, less than twenty-percent of a company's information is in a form that can be used directly by its information system. Paper documents, digital documents, photographs and telephone voice recordings are common examples of "the rest of your information." Capturing, storing and associating this data with other mission-critical data is a compelling need in many industries, and a rapidly growing need for nearly all others.

Until now, you had to purchase high-cost, stand-alone systems that operate in parellal but are unconnected to your core information systems. Often these systems are designed for dealing with only one type of information - paper documents, for example. But Bridge Pointe Software is changing the rules of the game. We offer a powerful engine that can be integrated into your core information system. Working in conjunction with a range of information capture technologies, our BE4 engine oversees the capture, storage, retrieval and archiving of virtually any complex-data-type objects.

By offering this innovative technology as an integrated component, rather than a parallel, stand alone solution, Bridge Pointe is enabling your solution providers to quickly and economically equip you with unprecedented new capabilities. With over 250 vertical-market end-user customers, and years of experience in refining this technology, Bridge Pointe Software is the only company offering this fully-integrated solution for handling virtually every kind of data.

Database Technology Must Be A Core Competency

The focus of most imaging and archiving systems is limited to those basic technologies. They can digitize, store and retreive information from paper. But to what end? Someone must still provide a way to associate that information with existing database information. And that's where database technology must come into focus, too. Bridge Pointe Software's management and technical team blend object capture, storage, and retreival expertise with a strong presence in database technology. Its founders were instrumental in shaping the business strategies and product offerings of Oracle, Ingres, Unisys and others. In fact, the designers of Bridge Pointe Software's BE4 engine were early employees of both Oracle and Ingres.

A Whole-Product Solution Through Partnerships And Alliances

No single company can offer an end-to-end solution for integrating existing databases with other digital and non-digital information. It takes companies with expertise in hardware and software technology for information capture; others with experience in storage, retreival, and archiving; and still others with extensive database know-how. By crafting our BE4 engine technology with the appropriate integration capabilities, it is relatively simple for Bridge Pointe Software to combine our technological expertise with that of others in a seamless and transparent way. We have also made it easy for application developers, value-added resellers, system integrators, and hardware manufacturers to provide end-user companies with an integrated, cohesive and comprehensive solution. Complete information integration is what your vendors will be giving you, Bridge Pointe Software's technology will provide a keys means to that end.
