DocPlus
DataGlance’s DocPlus is used extensively throughout the Energy Industry to enhance the presentation, production and use of critical documents such as Work Order Packages, Contacts, Purchase Orders, Requests for Quotes and Requests for Pricing.
DocPlus is a Document Generation Application for creating documents out of your Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) system—documents that are too large or complex to manage with the baseline printing capability of your EAM. Many businesses need to manage documents that contain information from many different sources, including Enterprise Applications/Solutions. These documents also typically contain content from unstructured data sources such as Microsoft Word and Excel documents, image, and flat files.
DocPlus combines information from numerous sources into a single PDF, TIFF or Word document that features automatically generated Smart Headers & Footers, Tables of Contents, watermarks, and other data-driven features. DocPlus is in use today by many companies around the world to create complex documents such as these:
DocPlus goes well beyond other solutions that merely stitch together multiple documents. Its document design tool makes it easy to customize documents with an array of functional enhancements such as dynamic headers, footers, cover pages, tables of content, watermarks, print locations and content formatting – each of which can be driven by Enterprise Asset Management system data.
DocPlus provides a variety of options for document distribution, local storage, printing, faxing, e-mail and Electronic Data Management System (EDMS) storage. All of these functions are readily accessible from within your Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) system.
Additionally, DocPlus can create Active Form PDFs for field workers to complete. The data is automatically uploaded to your EAM system using DataGlance MapPlus / ServicePlus technology.
DocPlus is an add-on document generation tool for your EAM system, in which you simply redirect the standard Print and Print Preview buttons to the DocPlus application. DataGlance clients can use DocPlus to create, view, and print a single seamless PDF (and other file types) that includes all of information contained within the base line EAM document. In addition, users can embed or attach documents, and easily import data from other systems. With the DocPlus tool and minimal training, client IT organizations can quickly become self-sufficient at creating and customizing any document that is currently generated by your EAM system.
Because DocPlus is an add-on application that is independent of your EAM system, client IT organizations can quickly respond to user change requests – without the need to modify any EAM system code. The DataGlance Document Designer is unaffected by upgrades or patches to your EAM system, providing users with the ability to make extensive customizations that are easily distributable to others. When it is necessary to apply an upgrade to your EAM system, documents created with DataGlance will continue to function without any modification – so long as there have been no changes to the supporting database. All of this translates into significantly lower costs of your application upgrades.
