IC GO WEB for InfoCenter Suite

Description

IC GO WEB is a family of solutions that allows you

access to the DESIGO™ Automation System via the

intranet or Internet using a standard Web browser. The

greatest advantage of IC GO WEB products is that

authorized users can access their systems from

anywhere at any time. The use of browser

technologies also reduces capital and operational

costs by not requiring that special software be installed

on a client and leveraging existing computer

investments. IC GO WEB products use Microsoft’s

Internet Information Server (IIS) software, Active

Server Page (ASP) and XML to effectively deliver

solutions through standard browsers.

IC GO WEB for InfoCenter Suite is designed to

support access to InfoCenter Suite’s Report Manager®

This access allows you to run, schedule and review

management level reports using common Web

browsers. You can also view critical audit trail

information stored in the InfoCenter Server®.

Features of IC GO WEB for InfoCenter Suite include:

• Browser access to key InfoCenter Report Manager

reporting functions

• Browser access to on-demand and scheduled

report generation

• Browser access to report schedules and

electronically stored reports

• Browser access to audit trail histories

IC GO WEB for InfoCenter Suite:

• Uses existing InfoCenter Suite account groups to

control access to report generation functions and

audit trail histories.

• Requires InfoCenter Suite 1.3 or later.

• Uses InfoCenter Suite’s existing licenses. Each

browser-based access uses one InfoCenter Suite

license.

• Supported on either InfoCenter Suite Base or

InfoCenter Suite Advanced.

Security

Access to IC GO WEB for InfoCenter Suite is

controlled via IIS authentication and InfoCenter Suite’s

Windows integrated security. Using Windows accounts

placed in InfoCenter Suite security groups, access to

IC GO WEB for InfoCenter Suite access privileges are

identical to those used when accessing the system

using the InfoCenter Report Manager.
