d.3 basis
Digital archiving and document management system
d.3 is the central information platform in the company – a sort of a document
warehouse. It is an integrated system, completely open for connection to other systems and applications. It is based on the most advanced technology and international
standards.
Any information (whether a scanned document, SAP system invoice, text document, CAD document, technical calculation, print list, e-mail, video file, audio file, X-ray scan,
application…) filed within the d.3 system is considered a document. Using d.3 means that all documents regarding products, projects, contracts, customers, orders, suppliers etc. can be accessible to all authorized co-workers, customers and suppliers in clear and structured electronic folders. Additionally, d.3 ensures safe long-term storage of all documents, as well as their protection from tampering.

d.3 flow
Business Process Management
d.3 flow is a Business Process Management system designed to optimize business processes through workflow. d.3 ensures document flow (workflow) automation within the company, in keeping with rules of a process affiliated with a respective document. Documents filed into the system enter workflow automatically (in keeping with certain rules) or manually, and are automatically forwarded to relevant employees who are expected to perform certain actions (additional check-ups, elaborations etc.). This eliminates the possibility of document loss in the business process, as well as the cost of copying the documents for processing in different departments. In addition, timely delivery of the document to the responsible person is ensured, time frame within which the responsible persons must perform an action within the process is clearly defined, and each step in the process is recorded (who performed it, when, which actions were
performed). d.3 flow connector
Graphical user interface that allows the execution of business processes formed within the d.3 system and stored in XML Notation.
Graphical user interface for designing business processes by defining rules and designing the client interface in HTML and JavaScript. Completed workflow is transferred to d.3 in the XML format.

d.3 web is a set of XML-based components that can be customized to fit the
requirements of end users with the help of StyleSheets. This approach enables end users to have access to the d.3 system over Internet, i.e. through web browser, with all
standard d.3 functionalities. d.3 web components:
1. d.3 web explorer: research and archiving client and web browser
2. d.3 web portal service: XML-based interface for integration of content from d.3 into Web portals
3. d.3 web webservices: SOAP interface for d.3
4. d.3 web image service: display of bitmap images (TIFF, PDF, PDF/A etc.), including annotation in documents (redlining), within the web client, without additional plug-ins for the web browser
5. d.3 web news: "bulletin board" with Intranet/Internet news 6. d.3 web link: direct access to document in d.3 through URL
7. d.3 web publishing: anonymous access to d.3 system through the web browser

Connecting d.3 to other applications and systems
ECM solution cannot be comprehensive if it does not offer the option of connection to other applications and systems. d.3 offers a range of options for storing all information from different systems in one place, logically interconnected and easily available to everyone authorized to access the d.3 system. Thanks to this approach, even the employees without the applications that the information originally came from (e.g. CAD applications, ERP applications…) have access to information they need. If said
applications are altered in some way, problems may arise when researching past data. However, if such data (e.g. from ERP applications) are stored in the ECM system, they will always remain accessible in their original form. This type information storage also ensures that ALL pieces of information about a job, project, customer etc. can be immediately viewed in one place, despite the fact that they may have originated from different systems. Documents and data from technical, sales, project and other departments are all stored in the same place and available to everyone with proper authorization!

d.3 local engine
Enables using d.3 system in the offline work mode
Field service often requires access to important documents. This is why field service representatives often have to print out required documents before starting off, or manually copy them to a notebook computer. With the help of the d.3 local engine, it is possible to use the documents at the site, on a computer disconnected from the d.3 network, thus enabling the document research and processing even outside of the office. Additionally, d.3 local engine allows archiving on CD or DVD. Such self-sufficient, closed archiving systems contain a local search engine, which means that they can be used without installing the d.3 system.
d.cold

Different types of documents can be processed differently. Files and data in the files can be converted in various ways, merging TIFF files with background templates is allowed, as is splitting lists into individual files, extracting attributes, merging into folders etc.
Examples of data/files that can be processed by d.cold are as follows: 1. PDF
3. HPGL/HPGL2 4. PCL
5. AFP 6. BS2000 7. AS400
8. Text files (including attribution)
