Iriss gets its name from the Clearview corporate logo, as well as from the acronym for the functionality it delivers: integrated repositories, integrated search and store. Clearview's Mike Ball explains that Iriss "floats" on the desktop like other Vista "gadget" applications, waiting for the user to activate on-demand content or document services. With simple drag-and-drop functionality, information workers can quickly retrieve document or content information directly from their line-of-business applications, eliminating the need for special and costly programming or integration services. Further, he says, documents or other types of business content created on the desktop are just as easily dropped on the Iriss Desktop Gadget and then stored in the Clearview ECM repository. The Iriss Desktop Gadget goes beyond providing basic content services to the casual desktop user by providing access to all information across the enterprise with the Clearview repository federation and aggregation technology. |
