3S International provides a range of annotation conversion products/services. Customers can pick one or more that match their annotation conversion needs.
- SaaS for integrations
We provide SaaS services at www.3sillc.com. SaaS services allows customers to invoke the annotation conversions remotely from within your applications. From your application, simply make a HTTP POST request to the following URL, you can get the converted annotation content back from the SaaS service. The annotation content that you wish to convert is the payload of the HTTP POST request.
http://www.3sillc.com/annotations/conversion?from={viewer name}&to={viewer name}&key={license key}
The key query parameter is optional. Without a {license key}, you can still invoke the annotation conversion services remotely from your applications. The only limitation is the number of times you can invoke the conversion service.
The from and the to query parameters are required. The {viewer name} can take one of the following values:
- adobe - Adobe markups
- axviewer - EMC AXViewer annotations
- brava60 - IGC Brava 6.0 markups
- brava61 - IGC Brava 6.1 markups
- brava62 - IGC Brava 6.2 markups
- brava70 - IGC Brava 7.0 markups
- daeja - IBM Daeja ViewOne Pro annotations
- snowbound - Snowbound VirtualViewer annotations
- Standalone applications
We provide Annotation Data Recovery (ADR) tools that are a set of executables tailored for a specific ECM platform. With ADR tools, curstomers are able to convert all annotation contents stored in an ECM repository from one format to another in the fashion of batch operations. If you have decided to switch from one viewer to another and are concerned about data loss or security breach due to the loss of redactions, ADR tools will help prevent annotation data loss after the switching of viewers. Simply run a batch conversion utility will convert all annotation contents that have been generated from one viewer to the annotation contents that another viewer can recognize and display. All the relationships between annotations and the documents that the annotations are associated with are kept intact after conversions.

We also offer licenses for the Annotation Conversion Libraries (ACL). A set of Java libraries help our customers to integrate annotation conversions into their applications. A great example of such applications is a Viewer Integration Framework (VIF) that sits between an ECM platform and multiple viewers. By careful design of the integration points in and invoking the ACL from VIF, it is possible to enable an ECM platform with annotation data sharing among different and all viewers deployed in the ECM system, thus eliminating the need for running ADR tools once in a while and maintaining data transparency among all viewers as well as other components of the entire ECM system. Currently the annotation conversion libraries support data conversions among the following annotation formats:
Our conversion libraries are part of annotation data conversion platform which makes the addition of new annotation data format very easy and straight forward.
We provide professional services to customers who might need the integration of our products/services into their applications. 3S International also provides professional services on the development and customizations of various ECM platforms/systems.
