Document Archival and Retrieval Technology (DART) version 1.1 replaces ODOC Platform.

Document Archival and Retrieval Technology version 1.1, or DART, is Bluepoint’s newly developed, proprietary, server communication application. DART is the long awaited replacement for ODOC, the application that is currently used in all of Bluepoint’s enterprise content management (ECM) products.  DART is the primary server application that interfaces with Bluepoint Solutions’ suite of ECM applications and the database.

DART brings greater enterprise level consistency and scalability to Bluepoint’s growing ECM product line. A virtually unlimited number of features can now be added across our ECM suite, providing a higher level of flexibility to the development process. The technology forms a new foundation of source code that will be enhanced and modified to better satisfy the needs of all financial institutions, regardless of size.

Bluepoint’s ECM suite will now rely on DART’s framework for client communication and server administration. For example, FD Master’s client-centric file system and DART together will form FASTdocs, your paper-free storage solution. Bluepoint’s feature-rich Receipt and Transaction Management solutions will also rely on DART for storage and retrieval of images associated with transaction records and business intelligence information. Bluepoint’s entire ECM suite will take full advantage of DART’s .NET framework platform, offering all the features and functionality you’ve come to expect and more!  DART will continue to ensure record integrity and data security by allowing you to store all account holder information in a single, highly organized file. It will also continue to support any windows file types including text, numeric, audio, video or image.

One tremendous benefit of developing a proprietary server communication application for our ECM product line is that we now have complete control over future development.   This enables us to enhance and upgrade the software directly, speeding turnaround times and increasing our responsiveness to the needs of our customers.  For example, DART offers a new time saving feature called QwikLogon that allows users to be recognized by FD Master using their Windows® user name and credentials.  DART links the Windows® user name with the FD Master user name. Once this link is established, FD Master does not require its own logon. It simply grants access and permission based on the user who is currently signed into Windows®.   DART 1.1 also offers users a significant boost in performance, noted in the increased speed of processing, plus greater flexibility, evidenced by longer file names that are allowed in the system.

DART offers greater stability, reliability and performance than ever before.   DART version 1.1 makes it possible for us to optimize the database and reduce data request response times for client workstations, whether they are at the main branch or a remote branch.  With the development of this new, modern  platform, we are protecting the investment of our customers and future customers.

Upgrades to DART version 1.1 will be available to customers in the coming weeks.  Make sure to schedule your institution’s installation of DART, well in advance, with your Bluepoint technical account manager (TAM).  Be the first to take advantage of DART’s new features and functionality!  Stay tuned for more exciting information about the release of DART version 1.1.
