More EIP Excitement...My List of Benefits
As a pre-sales technical contact, the benefits of integrating into a platform like EIP are immense. EIP is an extremely open platform that gives us, in terms of being a development house, more control and thereby delivering the end user a more intuitive and rich experience at the panel of a Xerox device. The open calls allow us to control authentication and provide customization of the look and feel of the panel. We will be able to have custom forms on the panel of the device that directly integrate with standard scanning applications like being able to browse to folder and send to email. In addition we will be able to browse out to back-end applications, including DocuShare, right from the panel of the device giving the end user dynamic control over where they will be sending documents.
Additionally, since EIP is a web services based platform we will be able to have users identified uniquely by their credentials rather than just generically authenticating them as a user. What this means is that users can log in anywhere on a network of devices and see only the menus and forms that are assigned to them. This provides a tremendous level of personalization and is only possible through a robust and open platform like EIP. While it gives us more control over the look and feel it also provides us the ability to streamline management and administration of the system. Devices now can simply point to a web connector and rather than having to set a host of preferences on each individual device.
