NCXCloud
NCXCloud is an on-premise content services platform that can seamlessly connect content and distribute it to users across multiple connected systems within state agencies, counties, universities and hospitals. Administrative functions include limiting access to certain content and providing full access control based on user requirements.
Accessing information is fast, secure and reliable. Users can easily locate, access, capture, manage, automate and deliver content. Data can be extracted from content to support user analysis and reporting requirements. Content can be viewed in web browsers, and reports can be printed partially or in total. While improving access to content, the service also enables organizations to reduce the costs associated with storage, hardware and software licenses.

Features
- Content created and stored in different systems is made widely available.
- Access to content is easy with data extraction tools, quick access buttons and full search capabilities (from simple to complex searches).
- NCXCloud is accessed through web browsers with a password and a Resource Access Control Facility (RACF) ID which provides content access control and auditing functionality for IBM z/OS systems.
- Several options are available for viewing document content. Users can apply a query to create a view of specific content, apply a content-view based on user requirements or transform the document. These documents can be downloaded, emailed or sent to a designated printer or a specific driver.
- Users can re-purpose content into a format that better meets their needs by extracting selected pieces of information from a document and packaging them into a deliverable output file (e.g., .csv, .xml, .txt) for downloading to their computer.
- Indexing makes it easier for users to find relevant information within a large document by breaking down the document into smaller sections. Sections can include the entire document, particular pages of a document or individual pieces of a document.
- Multiple versions of content can be stored and maintained to support users’ requirements. This information can be accessed quickly and easily by authorized users.
- Tasks can be simplified by fully automating them with either scripts or a combination of scripts and scheduled tasks. For example, content can be downloaded every morning, or a subset of data can be extracted from a report on the last day of the month.
- NCXCloud maintains secure encrypted data connections with TLS and SSL.
