When sizing the hardware for a production environment, consider the following factors.
- Input volume: The number of documents and pages to process on a daily basis.
- Completion time: The time required from scanning the document in to the time required to exporting the document out of the system.
- Complexity of input documents: Includes single or multi-page TIFF, scanning resolution, document size, number of OCR pages per document.
- Output requirements: Includes data extraction, validation, export, and number of documents processed per day.
- Complexity of workflow customization: This includes, but is not limited to scripting.
- Third-party software integration requirements: Includes third-party software such as Oracle, Oracle Financials, JD Edwards, SAP, Microsoft Dynamics, Lawson, and ECM and CRM systems.
- Disaster recovery: Includes backup, fault tolerance and up time.
- Room for growth: Includes increasing input and output and other system requirements.
- Number of concurrent users: Includes the number of users for Verifier and Web Verifier.
- Batch retention time: Retention time for a batch of documents in the system after export.
- Number of projects: Number of BIC projects per country and per solution.
- Installed components: Other components such as Visibility or databases. For a production environment, we recommend to install these software products on separate servers.
- Network: Network operating system platform and network environment.
