OfficeClip Applications

This overview describes the features and functionality of the OfficeClip Application Suite, an easy to use, affordable, and low-maintenance enterprise-level software solution.

The OfficeClip Suite provides powerful, web-based applications from which any organization will benefit. It is designed to be easily installed and run on a web server, and can be accessed via any web browser. Created using the Microsoft .Net framework®, it provides flexible configuration and implementation. OfficeClip is available online (ASP) or you may download and install on your server.

Powerful Backend SQL Database

All OfficeClip data is stored in an MS SQL Server database, which provides architectural power and flexibility in a data-driven environment. OfficeClip applications are bundled with the Sql Server (Express Edition). This provides a low-cost, low-volume database solution, which can later be migrated to a heavily loaded, high availability platform.

Role - Based Security and Permissions

OfficeClip adheres to a role-based security model to ensure members only see and modify information allowed by administrators. Administrators place users into certain roles according to desired access permissions. By default, all users have all access permissions. However, the administrator has full control of all OfficeClip functionality, and can restrict functionality based on the roles that are created. Both object owners and administrators have full control over read, write, append, and delete access permissions for objects governed by access rules (such as documents and tasks).

Platform Independent Client

OfficeClip applications are designed to run on a web browser, which ensures platform independence when used on desktop and mobile devices.

External Content Publishing

The contents of many OfficeClip applications can be filtered and published as a web page for external users. Access to the external information can be controlled from within the OfficeClip administration console.

High-Level Information Flow

Users of OfficeClip access OfficeClip using a web browser. The request from the web browser goes to the web server, which then utilizes business logic to communicate with the SQL Server database and send or receive the information.

System Requirements

OfficeClip applications can be installed at the corporate server behind a firewall, which can be accessed throughout the organization using a web browser. Depending on the security needs, the web server and network can easily be configured for access outside the corporate firewall.
