| Overview |
|
If paper-based processes and filing systems continue to play a significant role in your organization, you are not alone. Despite significant advances in IT solutions and industry visions for paperless offices, many companies still struggle under mountains of paper. Yet the faster you can reduce labor-intensive, error-prone processes and the management and real estate overhead related to paper, the faster you can reap the financial rewards and the faster you can enable the business flexibility and speed that come with streamlining and automating processes. Achieving these benefits requires a collection of technologies, including an imaging solution, business process management (BPM) capabilities and an enterprise content management (ECM) repository. Historically, part of the challenge of moving beyond paper has been piecing together a solution with all of the capabilities you need to achieve desired business outcomes.
IBM Production Imaging Edition V5.0 is a comprehensive product for managing the entire document imaging lifecycle. It includes software that enables you to do all of the following:
- Capture documents and turn them into digital images, extract information from them, and insert images and metadata into a repository
- Store and manage document images
- Create and maintain business processes and automatically route document images based on content, context, and user input
- View document images from anywhere in the enterprise, make annotations on them, and redact parts of them as needed
IBM Production Imaging Edition includes the following in one solution:
- Advanced document capture (IBM Datacap Taskmaster)
- ECM (IBM FileNet Content Manager)
- BPM (IBM FileNet Business Process Manager components)
- Image viewing, annotation, and redaction (IBM FileNet Workplace™ XT and Daeja ViewONE Pro)

| Description |
|
IBM Production Imaging Edition V5.0 is the first solution from IBM to leverage IBM Datacap for document capture. With the help of innovative Datacap software, you can automate data entry for most types of documents, including medical claims, tax returns, mortgages and loans, insurance policies and claims, and highly variable documents, such as invoices. Datacap can also rapidly convert structured data and unstructured information from common formats, including JPEG and GIF image files.
Overall, forms recognition, or advanced document capture automation, is a key first step to gaining efficiencies in paper-based processes because it enables you to digitally route content throughout the organization, helping streamline every subsequent step of the workflow.
IBM Production Imaging Edition comprises of capture, full enterprise content management (ECM) (IBM FileNet Content Manager), and IBM FileNet Business Process Manager (BPM) components, document image viewing, annotation, redaction (IBM FileNet Workplace XT and Daeja ViewONE Pro).
Daeja ViewONE Pro is now accessible within IBM FileNet Workplace XT.
These new and valuable features have been added:
- Permanent Redactions Server Module - Mark document sections that need to be burned out, for security and privacy.
- PDF Module - View PDFs and annotations within Workplace XT. There is no separate viewer to install and no need to leave the XT environment. You can search within multipage PDFs while significantly reducing data transfer and network traffic.
- Document Streaming Server Module - It takes PDF documents on the server and sends reduced size PDF documents to the viewer. You can view pages of a multipage documents randomly without having to wait for prior pages to first be downloaded and it is all entirely transparent to the user.
- JPEG2000 support.
- Universal Viewing Module - You have 300 document types including Microsoft® Office.
- Support for 26 languages.

Charge metrics definitions
User Value Unit (UVU)
UVU is the metric by which this program is licensed. UVU entitlements are based on the number of users for the given program. A Proof of Entitlement (PoE) must be obtained for the appropriate number of UVUs required for your environment as defined by the specific program terms. The UVU entitlements are specific to the program and may not be exchanged, interchanged, or aggregated with UVU entitlements of another software program. UVU licensing offers you price benefits for customers by enabling a lower cost of incremental growth of resources. To understand these benefits of UVU licensing, and to determine how many UVUs to obtain for the program, please contact your IBM representative.
The subject programs have a structure for licensing and pricing designed for clarity, simplicity and unity with other products in the IBM Enterprise Content Management portfolio. The former approach relied upon licensing servers and users - with users licensed on a Named, Concurrent, ebusiness, Employee and External basis. This has been replaced with a new approach based on Value Units (VUs), with a primary focus on user access.
UVUs
Three types of UVUs are available:
- Authorized (AUVU): For selective licensing of users who are internal to the organization. It replaces named, concurrent and ebusiness user licensing.
- External (XUVU): For licensing of users who are external to the organization. It replaces external user licensing and ebusiness user licenses for certain products.
- Employee (EUVU): For collectively licensing all users who are internal to the organization. It replaces Enterprise License Agreement (ELA) employee licensing.
Product pricing
Each product has a fixed price per UVU. Customers license the appropriate number of UVUs to provide access to a corresponding user population.
Cumulative volume discounting
As the user quantity increases, the number of UVUs increase albeit at a slower rate. Value Unit license conversion tables establish the required number of UVUs for a specified number of users.
Volume discounting examples:
- 100 authorized users require 85 AUVUs
- 1,000 authorized users require 600 AUVUs
- 5,000 authorized users require 2,500 AUVUs
Content Manager configuration example:
- Content Manager AUVU price = $Y per AUVU
- 5,000 authorized users require 2,500 AUVUs
- Total price = $Y x 2,500
Resource Value Units (RVUs)
Three types of RVUs are available for licensing select products and options:
- Pages Per Month Resource Value Units (PRVUs) are perpetual licenses to install and run the licensed program on one (1) or more scanner stations or computer devices and to process up to a defined number of pages per calendar month.
- Terabyte Resource Value Units (TRVUs) are perpetual licenses to store up to a defined number of Terabytes of content on Image Services storage devices and supported P8 Fixed File Stores.
- Processor Value Unit (PVU) licensing for Distributed software comprises of perpetual licenses for each processor core on which the software is deployed. More information about PVU licensing can be found at this location
Although the subject programs are now offered under a new, streamlined licensing and pricing model, the function of the products has not changed from that of previously available offerings.

| IBM Electronic Services |
|
IBM has transformed its delivery of hardware and software support services to help you achieve higher system availability. Electronic Services is a web-enabled solution that offers an exclusive, no-additional-charge enhancement to the service and support available for IBM servers. These services are designed to provide the opportunity for greater system availability with faster problem resolution and preemptive monitoring. Electronic Services comprises two separate, but complementary, elements: Electronic Services news page and Electronic Services Agent.
The Electronic Services news page is a single Internet entry point that replaces the multiple entry points traditionally used to access IBM Internet services and support. The news page enables you to gain easier access to IBM resources for assistance in resolving technical problems.
The Electronic Service Agent™ is no-additional-charge software that resides on your server. It monitors events and transmits system inventory information to IBM on a periodic, client-defined timetable. The Electronic Service Agent automatically reports hardware problems to IBM. Early knowledge about potential problems enables IBM to deliver proactive service that may result in higher system availability and performance. In addition, information collected through the Service Agent is made available to IBM service support representatives when they help answer your questions or diagnose problems. Installation and use of IBM Electronic Service Agent for problem reporting enables IBM to provide better support and service for your IBM server.
