Our Vision
In day-to-day operations for any size company, the
ability to process data has become ever more critical.
Businesses worldwide depend on technology that offers
issue-free data processing and optimises workflows.
Anoto has pioneered digital writing to bridge the gap
between analogue information collection and the
digital world. The benefit to companies and individuals
alike is that they can continue to use the media most
familiar to them, while harnessing the power of moving
data in real time and increasing efficiencies that the
automation from digital writing brings.
Anoto enables writing to computer in real time
that automates workflow and enables a seamless
combination between frontend and backend tasks in
areas where there has been a wake of modernisation
among industries such as healthcare, pharmaceutical,
bank and financial services, transportation and
logistics, government and education.
In line with our vision—“digitising all handwriting”—
Anoto is the global leader of digital writing and is at
the forefront of delivering an advanced integrated
solution that simply works smarter.
Advanced Technology
Made Easy.
The Technology
Anoto has taken the pen and refactored it into a proven
productivity tool, called Live Pen™
. By embedding
a miniature camera capable of recording your
handwriting strokes through the tip of this ballpoint
pen, information written on any Anoto Live™
enabled
paper surface can be made instantly available to any
back-office system via a Bluetooth-enabled smart
phone or USB equipped PC.
Capable of securely storing upwards of 60 pages of A4
text, Live Pen is no bigger than a fountain pen and will
last several days on standby and several hours in use—
more than enough for a typical working day. Live Pen
is not a stand-alone device, but part of an end-to-end
business solution, called Anoto Live™
.

Anoto Live™
enterprise
Anoto Live™
is an umbrella for a set of software and
systems designed to support the digital writing
technology in respect to form creation, printing,
deployment, administration and integration with other
back-office systems. Anoto Live enterprise is the
enterprise-grade system capable of being integrated
into any back-office infrastructure.
Based on Windows Server technology, Anoto Live
enterprise consists of several components including:
• MicrosoftMessageQueuingArchitecture
• MSSQLDatabase
(from Express through to Enterprise)
• IISCommunicationsHub
• Formsdevelopmentplatform
Windows / Linux / Mac
• PCandMobilephonepenrouting
Win32/64, Windows Phone, Android, BlackBerry
• Microsoft.NETdevelopmentAPI’s
The Simple Facts:
Saves Time. Cuts Costs.
Scalability
One of the most important features of any product
designated‘enterprise’shouldbeitsabilitytogracefully
grow as your requirements increase without the need
to lose previous investments. By basing the underlying
architecture on Microsoft’s Message Queuing service,
Anoto Live enterprise platform can be extended both
in terms of performance and redundancy through the
addition of supplementary processing nodes. This
allows the system to be designed around meeting a
specific operational target in respect of required forms
processing performance.
Interoperability
Anoto Live enterprise is built on Windows Server
technology thereby allowing it to be seamlessly
integrated into any Windows environment. By using
a widely understood and practiced server platform,
supporting Live Enterprise is straightforward and can
be incorporated into most infrastructure management
systems. Because Anoto Live enterprise directly
supports Active Directory, management of both the
platform and users within the system does not require
a separate database of people to be created. Your
existing AD environment can simply be extended to
include the security profile Anoto Live enterprise
offers which the platform will then integrate with to
allow users a single sign-on experience.

4. Performance
As well as being highly scalable, Anoto Live enterprise
is unique in the industry in being able to deliver a quality
of service guarantee (QoS) for forms data processing.
This enables the system to be configured to provide
either real-time or near real-time processing of forms
on a case-by-case basis depending on the needs of
the application, thereby maximising the investment
in hardware by selectively using only the required
amount of processing capability where necessary.
Reliability
By being based on tried and tested Microsoft server
and database products, Anoto Live enterprise can be
configured to be highly fault-tolerant in respect of both
communications, data management and processing
ability. By using the clustered ability of Microsoft
SQL Enterprise, the Anoto Live enterprise platform
provides data security and reliability that businesses
have become dependent upon, or can simply integrate
directly with a business’ existing database system.
Microsoft’s Message Queuing Architecture also allows
the system to provide multiple redundant paths for
data, so in the unlikely event of a system outage,
redundant hot/passive systems can be incorporated
into the design to create a highly reliable architecture.
Development
Anoto Live enteprise incorporates a complete
Microsoft.NET development environment for forms
processing customisation and back-office systems
integration. Along with a set of pre-built API’s that
allow anything from Web Services integration through
to data pre-population on printed forms, the .net based
extensibility of the platform will immediately make any
developer feel at home.
Security
Due to the extensive use of encrypted protocols and
Microsoft AD integration, Anoto Live enterprise is
the most secure digital pen operating environment
available. From the tip of the pen to the data output, your
sensitive information can be encrypted and transported
using Government approved encryption technologies,
with access to the same data being controlled using
your existing security policies enforced through domain
policy management. So no matter what type of data
is being written, you can rest assured that it is being
securely handled to known standards of encryption
and enforced through central policy control.
Data Transfer
As well as including a Windows standalone application
that allows users to dock a digital pen with their PC
or laptop or print digital paper based forms when
necessary, Anoto Live enterprise also provides support
for truly mobile users by including native Android,
Symbian and BlackBerry for smart devices that support
Bluetooth. For secure transmission, the Android and
Symbian clients support HTTPS or can be configured to
use an Operator Private VPN service in order to deliver
the data behind the corporate firewall. When using
BlackBerry devices, the BlackBerry Enterprise Service
(BES) system is fully utilised in terms of secure data
delivery using Government approved mechanisms, as
well as providing a centralised management system
for device software deployment.
