IGC Announces Brava 7.1 for IBM FileNet P8 at IBM Information on Demand in Las Vegas
Informative Graphics Corporation (IGC) unveils Brava!® 7.1 for the IBM® FileNet® P8 platform, a high-performance viewer that provides unmatched functionality and security, and now offers a zero-footprint, cross-platform HTML5 client option in addition to its ActiveX client. IGC demonstrates Brava 7.1 at the IBM Information on Demand conference at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, Nevada. Conference attendees can see a live demonstration of the software at the IGC booth, #1114.
Brava makes it easy to view, annotate and collaborate on almost any file, including office and PDF documents, CAD drawings and image files. Now, the new Brava HTML5 client provides a zero-footprint, cross-platform option, making Brava available to more users than ever. Because it is HTML-based, there is nothing to install on the user’s workstation, no browser plug-in or other technology needed and it can be run on virtually any platform (including PC, Mac and Linux) and in virtually any web browser (including Chrome, IE, Safari and Firefox).
“I’m very proud of the innovative engineering that went into our new, robust HTML5 client and its seamless integration to IBM’s Content Navigator,” said IGC CEO Gary Heath. “IGC continues to invest in new technology, like HTML5, and in staying current with our partners’ offerings.” Responsive to the range of IBM products, IGC will release Brava 7.1 for IBM Content Navigator supporting both P8 and CM8 integrations in addition to FileNet Workplace/XT.
The HTML5 client offers the rich collaboration features Brava users depend on, including Changemark™ annotations, which offer threaded discussions where users can make and reply to comments—recording a complete audit trail of both the discussion and the outcome. It also offers IBM FileNet users an excellent, scrollable viewing experience, thumbnails for quick document navigation, search with term-hit highlighting, publishing to PDF or TIFF, document redaction and much more.
Also in this release is Brava’s shared cache feature, which enhances viewing performance, reduces server-side processing and provides additional failover. Shared cache is an example of IGC’s commitment to deliver speed, performance, scalability and enterprise readiness.
