Webscan was designed to assist with several
important datacenter requirements:
Provide accurate and reliable information for all
your company's media. This information can be accessed from
anywhere in the world.
Gather data and produce comprehensive reports to
comply with audit, HIPAA and Sarbanes-Oxley
requirements and regulations.
Enhance librarian productivity and eliminate
potential errors to ensure a more efficient and
accurate facility.
If the above bullets are missing from or required
by your organization, Webscan is the comprehensive
and cost effective solution to get you there.
The Webscan system has tools and functions for all
processes and procedures that take place in the
datacenter. The system is broken down into
several different modules, each to help perform a
different task:
Tracking - Track tapes to and from any
location - including movement within your library
- to ensure the ability to locate any tape at any
time.
Audit History - Keep a history of all
additions and deletions from your tape pool or
accounts to satisfy audit requirements.
Inventory - Perform your own physical tape
inventories from year to year, identifying missing
tapes, extra tapes, and found tapes.
Blank Tapes - Keep track of tapes that
aren't yet live in your system in order to maintain inventory and
chargeback customers or accounts.
Administration - Give your users access to
only the accounts and features that they work
with. Eliminate potential errors and
provides various levels of security.
User Tools - Compare scans and files,
globally search for a tape or save a scan file.

tasks.

exception report.
