CheckWorks, Inc. Announces Multi-Function Image Assistant


Atlanta, GA – March 7, 2000
– CheckWorks, Inc. announces the general availability of its Multi-Function Image Assistant (MIA) software for image-enabled check processing customers. MIA provides sophisticated check image viewing and processing functions. The software is composed of two parts:

  • A multi-platform, JAVA-based workstation client for viewing check images on personal computers.
  • A mainframe-based TCP/IP server that interfaces to the Check Solutions Check Image Management System (CIMS) image database.

 

The key features of MIA are:

  1. The ability to retrieve CIMS images from a Windows workstation. The IBM Check Processing Control System (CPCS) is not required to be active, and no resource drain is added to CPCS.
  2. The simplicity of installing MIA on a workstation. Workstation setup can be performed in minutes by end-users without waiting for assistance from technical support departments.
  3. An Internet Browser based viewing application. By making use of a standard browser, such as Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator, MIA is portable to other platforms.
  4. An interface to the Check Solutions Image Delivery System (IDS) cross reference file. This allows access, via a powerful search engine, to the images and MICR line information captured in an IDS environment.
  5. Extensive image viewing options (front, back, gray-scale, etc.) as well as the ability to print or fax an image, or store an image to disk using industry standard formats such as JPG, TIF, GIF, etc.
The initial release of MIA is in use by several departments in the co-development site. Phase two development of MIA, now in progress, expands functionality for bank departments and provides an interface for external bank customers.

 

In summary, MIA is a leading edge check image viewing system for CPCS/HPTS environments that provides product features and user-maintainability not available anywhere else.
