Structured information made easy

Structured messaging

IRIS Forms and IRIS WebForms software simplifies and structures the inputting and transfer of military information, orders and reports, using simple-to-deploy interoperability standards.

They ensure consistent data entry and transfer as the basis for rapid, reliable and often automated distribution of key information throughout the organisation or unit in question.

Two environments – two versions

The end-user functionality of IRIS Forms and IRIS WebForms is similar and both support dynamic deployment of forms according to military standards for data entry or viewing. The difference is in deployment: IRIS Forms is a stand-alone application installed on individual computers, and IRIS WebForms is a client-server solution with a server-only installation and thin web based clients downloaded from the server via a web browser.

Automated message structures

IRIS Forms and IRIS WebForms automatically generate the layout and data entry components required for a user to create and manage structured documents. These entry forms serve as a framework for the automated transfer of data back and forth between organisations and units.

Operators use these software products to open, prepare, edit and send structured documents, with help and assistance available for completing forms correctly and unambiguously. IRIS Forms and IRIS WebForms help to make sure key information is easily understood and processed by humans and computer systems alike.

Compliance = interoperability

Compliance with agreed standards is vital for interoperability. Using IRIS Forms and IRIS WebForms, you are guaranteed to be compliant with the latest standards and achieve immediate interoperability out of the box. Forces from different countries and different units can then communicate quickly and smoothly, irrespective of the hardware and software they use.

Future compatible

IRIS Forms and IRIS WebForms enable you to deploy new message definitions without having to buy and install new software.

This boosts the agility and future-compatibility of your system. You simply load IRIS Forms or IRIS WebForms with the relevant versions of mission files or XML-MTF schemas, and your system is then fully interoperable with those of your partners.
