Why is Epiplex500 Enterprise Edition so unique?
Epiplex500 increases productivity by delivering unprecedented speed and accuracy. This is achieved through Epiplex500's depth of
capture meaning that higher levels of application information, structure, control and details are incorporated into the finished output. This substantially reduces the need for extensive editing and re-working by the subject matter experts or content authors. Epiplex500's unique collaborative authoring environment ensures that all the authoring and content files are stored in a centralized repository and provides Version control capabilities are also provided by this repository. A predefined e-mail workflow takes care of notifying all the stake holders the latest status updates of development activities, thus ensuring smooth communication flow across various functional divisions in an enterprise. Epiplex500 is available in multiple language output sets including; English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Thai, Malay, Arabic, Hindi, Kannada and Hebrew and others. Though the base document template is available in English, epiAuthor provides the flexibility to create/edit the templates in the language of your choice. Who uses Epiplex500 Enterprise Edition? Epiplex500 Enterprise Edition is an ideal time saving tool in an enterprise for:
Training Content Developers Create e-Learning contents for training.
Process Management Team Ensure employees to adhere to the best practice.
Project Managers Create service manuals and process documentation
Documentation Managers Manage the productivity of Document generation
Training Managers Create Training manuals, classroom slides, training guides and end user cue cards
Software Developers Create System documentation, installation guides, user guides,
HR & Office Managers Document business processes, staff support and induction (on boarding) manuals
Risk Managers for Standardizing and documenting business processes
Change Managers Create rapid documentation and distribution of process change
Technical writers Create technical documentation, installation guides
System Administrators Create systems documentation and systems validation
Help Desk professionals Create task specific assistance information
 Epiplex500 shadows actions performed by users on any major computer based application. A subject matter expert records the
best practices step by step. These recorded actions are translated into what we call capture files, creating step by step instructions
that include snapshots or screen grabs. Customers can quickly and accurately capture vital knowledge for publishing to a variety of simulation and document outputs. Epiance sophisticates capture' technology ensures that all elements of a particular task Menu selection, mouse movements, typing, drop down lists are comprehensively captured with unprecedented speed and accuracy
 Store: Once a task is completed and recorded, the information is stored. epiDOCX provides the usual options for saving and
storing work. The captured and stored files can now be used many times without the need to recapture each of the business processes
or tasks again.
 Develop & Edit: In this mode Epiplex500 provides authoring tools that allows multiple authors and developers in an organisation
to review, compile, sort and sequence the captured files into the desired output. A single capture file may be used to generate multiple
simulation outputs and documents in the form of Software Documentation, End User Manuals, Product Manuals, Testing Guides, User
Guides, Sign Off documents, Training Course Manuals, etc in multiple languages. In editor mode, all the tools are provided to add
annotations like callouts (Help Bubbles), sticky notes, text and graphical boxes, arrows, lines and Audio / Video elements. Rich editing
features, templates and multi-language support enable rapid generation of simulations e-learning and documents that can be deployed
in numerous ways across the organisation.
 Epiplex500 Content Management Server (ERMS): provides a web-based application that facilitates collaborative authoring
development protocols for a content development team. This ERMS Content Management Server provides:
| |
A central repository that stores all Epiplex authoring files and output
A source control and configuration management system to manage multiple versions of files.
An integrated workflow management system that notifies through mail when files of interest are checked into ERMS. |
 Publish: Once editing has been finalised, Simulation, e-learning and Document Outputs can be published in the following formats:
| |
DHTML - SCORM® Compliant
FLASH - SCORM® Compliant |
| |
Microsoft Word (.doc)
Acrobat Reader (.pdf)
Microsoft PowerPoint (.ppt)
Online Web Documents (.HTML)
XML (DocBook Compliant)
|
Online Assessments
Live Application Cue' Card Guides
Task Cue' Cards for context sensitive help (HTML)
Online Web Presentation
 Epiplex500 Intelligent Dialogue Technology (IDT): Alternatively understood as an Electronic Productivity Support System or EPSS,
all learning content becomes available to all application users simultaneously across the organisation. This Client /Server configuration provides users with contextual live-in-application help that can also include a broad array of external documents and other third party learning materials.
