1.
What are the Exegenix Conversion Solutions?
Exegenix Conversion Solutions are a family of XML conversion products derived from Exegenix technology. The modular structure of Exegenix technology means that we can offer a flexible range of deployment options to address each individual organization's XML conversion needs. Depending on your requirements for process control, data security, processing power and support, our technology can be employed in a variety of ways: choose from onsite installation of the heavy-duty Exegenix Conversion System, a deployment of the nimbler Exegenix Conversion Satellite, or the fully turnkey Exegenix Conversion Service - all leveraging our technology to provide accurate, fast, cost-effective XML output.
 
2.
When should I deploy the Exegenix Conversion System?
The full Exegenix Conversion System is recommended for high-security environments involving classified information (for example, military installations, some government departments, etc).
 
3.
When should I deploy the Exegenix Conversion Satellite?

The Exegenix Conversion Satellite is ideal for organizations that require local control over the XML conversion process, and the flexibility of a system that scales seamlessly to meet variable or unpredictable demand - without major hardware investment.

 
4.
When should I choose the Exegenix Conversion Service?
The Conversion Service is available either direct from Exegenix, or via our partner network, for organizations that need no interaction with the conversion process until their final XML is delivered.
 
5.
What's the difference between the Software and Hardware Satellites?
 
The user-installed Software Satellite is the fastest way to deploy Exegenix technology, and is ideal for trial projects or small volumes of conversion. It consists of client applications on end-user workstations, and requires no dedicated hardware. Organizations with a sizeable conversion team may wish to enhance performance via a Hardware Satellite, which acts as a go-between for the local client-based and remote server-based applications. It consists of a dedicated server residing on an organization's local network, eliminating potential Internet network latency and providing multiple users with rapid access to the same capabilities and user interfaces as the Software Satellite.
6.
What's the pricing model?
No matter which Exegenix deployment option you choose, conversion is charged per kilocharacter of approved XML output. This means that you only pay for XML output that meets your quality standards. Volume pricing discounts are available. Additional charges apply to pre- and post-conversion processing services if undertaken by Exegenix, such as transformation to a specific DTD.
 
7.
What if my documents are paper-based?
Exegenix technology can convert into XML any document that can be printed to PDF or Postscript. If you are unable to reproduce your paper-based materials in this format, one of our partners will be able to undertake this via OCR at an additional charge.
 
8.
What if I have a specific DTD?
Exegenix solutions all produce XML output compliant with our own DTD (an enhanced version of Docbook). The Exegenix Export DTD has been specifically design for ease of transformation and, depending on your chosen solution, the XML output produced can be quickly transformed to your DTD by your organization, by Exegenix, or by one of our partners.
 
9.
How can I try out the Exegenix Conversion Solutions?
The user-installed Software Satellite is the fastest way to deploy Exegenix technology, and is ideal for trial projects. However, if you just want to see what Exegenix Conversion Solutions can do for your organization, you can upload a representative sample of your material at our “Sample Document Upload” page, and we will be happy to convert it free of charge.
 
10.
What about security?

If your materials are too sensitive to go offsite, the full Exegenix Conversion System can be installed at your location. However, every Satellite user sharing processing power with Exegenix is sandboxed, via a dedicated area on the Exegenix servers. Every client's data is isolated, every account is secure, and Exegenix will not view third party data without permission.
