People. Information. Process.

LiquidOffice encompasses the entire business process management lifecycle from process design and simulation to deployment and optimization. However, it goes well beyond traditional process management. LiquidOffice embeds intelligence within forms and documents, enabling them to securely and automatically navigate the process between people and systems, offering visibility into each step of the process and a complete audit trail.

LiquidOffice is a cornerstone element of the Cardiff Intelligent Document platform, which offers the industry’s most comprehensive and versatile information capture and business process management capabilities. Cardiff Intelligent Documents streamline and simplify the complex maze between people, documents and processes that are critical to businesses, with a flexible and scalable architecture and no barriers between paper, online and mobile information. Cardiff Intelligent Documents are the information and process onramp to the enterprise, dramatically reducing costs, shrinking process cycles and offering complete visibility into business process status at every step.

Data And Document Export Connect Agents

Forms processed through LiquidOffice can be connected to data targets using pre-built Cardiff Connect Agents, which support XML, ODBC or JDBC compliant applications. This enables the export of data to backend databases such as Microsoft SQL Server or Oracle.

Image Archive Connect Agents are used to store PDF copies of completed forms, along with XML index data, into back-end systems. Archive Connect Agents have been developed by Cardiff and partners to support automated processing into systems from Documentum, FileNET, Legato, Hyland, Open Text and others.

Data And Document Input Connect Agents

Document Input Connect Agents enable devices like the Xerox Document Centre device to scan documents directly into a LiquidOffice users personal folder. Users will then be able to add those attachments to forms-driven processes.

XML Virtual Submit

XML Virtual Submit defines an XML Schema format that enables external and off-line applications to initiate automatic eForm processes into LiquidOffice. The XML Virtual Submit Schema supports eForm identification, pre-filled field data, digital attachments, and form routing instructions.

The Open Standards Approach To Integration

The LiquidOffice APIs constitute a development environment based entirely upon open standards enabling the transparent sharing of data and documents in addition to the interoperation of applications and back-end systems. The LiquidOffice APIs utilize Java, JavaScript, Java Server Pages (JSP) technology, XML (as the interchange language), SOAP, and other open-standard technologies as a way of developing connectivity between LiquidOffice and a company’s business applications.

As a member and technical editor of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), Cardiff Software built LiquidOffice from the ground up to leverage and comply with open standards such as PDF, HTML, and XML. Furthermore, LiquidOffice embraces the emerging Web services model. The LiquidOffice SOAP API enables companies to exchange information or share parts of the LiquidOffice application with other applications including applications that are built on the Microsoft .NET platform.
