Client Side Components

Although all management and processing functions run in the cloud datacentres, certain local services/components are still required to deliver a complete printing experience.

List of components:

  • OptimiDoc Cloud Client

  • Embedded applications

  • OptimiDoc Cloud Mobile Applications

  • OptimiDoc Cloud Node

  • Local Active Directory Sync tool

  • OptimiDoc Printer Migration Tool

Each component communicates only with the selected data centre.
