IMAGINE THE POSSIBILITIES
GET MORE OUT OF YOUR BUSINESS APPLICATIONS
The MX-M850 document system immediately gives your business powerful functionality to
leverage previous investments in data management infrastructure—right from the
MX-M850 control panel. Sharp's newest innovation, the Sharp OSA development platform,
pioneers a new "power at the panel" approach to automating tasks and streamlining
workflow.
Since Sharp OSA provides seamless integration between your MFPs and network
applications, you will save time and increase the efficiency of everyday tasks. The MX-M850
anywhere in the organisation can display choices that were once only available on a desktop
PC. With one-touch access to business applications via Sharp OSA integration, you can
start and finish a document distribution task without worry.
The Sharp OSA development platform is the logical choice to complement your existing
infrastructure because it transforms the MX-M850 into a gateway to fast, flexible access to
documents and applications no matter where you are in the office. You also get the
controlled access and tracking capability you require, with tighter integration for network
security and accounting applications. With such comprehensive control, you will be able to
manage your document workflow easily, efficiently, and more securely.
Sharp OSA technology also opens the door to timesaving, productivity-boosting
customisation. By allowing you to personalise applications and processes specific to your
business, Sharp OSA technology helps eliminate redundancy and streamline workflow.
Additionally, since Sharp OSA technology utilises industry-standard network protocols,
such as SOAP, XML, and XHTML, third-party software developers can deliver customised
solutions to your business faster than ever.
