XBOUND: Overview

XBOUND is a global integration platform that automates business data capture and processing. It enables the digitalization of entire corporate information flows – regardless of the number of information channels or existing user applications.

A few of the advantages

Various XBOUND components

The main component in the XBOUND platform is the Management Center. A number of plug-ins are available in XBOUND, and each plug-in has its own specific purpose. All plug-ins are loaded in consoles in the Management Center.

Document Verifier is a stand-alone application used to verify and correct the structure of documents. XBOUND Registration is another stand-alone application; it is used for registering documents prior to scanning and can be used with XBOUND Preparation to record the time spent preparing documents for processing.

XBOUND also includes Document Manager, which is used to manually select documents to open for editing, and Rescan, which is used to rescan documents.

Several components work in the background. These include collectors that carry out specific tasks related to importing documents and system agents that carry out certain actions related to maintaining the system. For more information, see XBOUND collectors: Overview and XBOUND system agents: Overview.

Activities and processes

Documents are processed in several process steps within a process. Each process step describes certain operations (activities) that are to be performed on the documents.
