With the new and improved capabilities in OnBase 18, organizations can:

• Create powerful, more tailored user experiences: A new combined viewer personalizes the display of content and data into a streamlined and consolidated view, tailoring experiences for a variety of user roles. This new, aggregated interface supports OnBase power users; and enhancements to several key integrations improve experiences for users who primarily access OnBase via other applications.
• Empower mobile workers: Mobile enhancements include delivering personalized case management applications on mobile devices and building tighter integrations with common mobile business apps. Users have the ability to sign documents using mobile devices and can leverage touch ID on iOS for secure, easy access to OnBase solutions.
• Realize increased security and improved performance: Security enhancements ensure appropriate access to information throughout its lifecycle, as well as streamline how authorized users access the system through the addition of touch ID on iOS and the use of identity providers (IdP) for authentication. As with every new release, OnBase 18 delivers continued performance improvements across the platform, from more responsive interface components to architectural enhancements.
• Equip administrators with advanced tools: A suite of tools simplify administration and make it easier to roll out solutions enterprise-wide, including new tools to more easily create test systems and migrate solutions from test to production environments. A new server updater tool equips organizations to update their OnBase web servers to get access to the latest browser support, security patches and minor enhancements within minutes.
