Sharp OSA Open Systems Architecture - Manual (Page 6)

More than just a feature set of the MFP, Sharp OSA provides developers with a suite
of powerful tools to truly customise document workflows. And thanks to our
wide-reaching relationships with a growing range of software developers and
resellers, you can be sure of finding a solution that’s just right for you.
There are four ways in which you can implement Sharp OSA within your organisation,
depending on the applications you have.
Plug-in for our partners’ applications
If you are already using one of the applications developed by our partners
that are compatible with Sharp OSA, all you need to do is buy and install the
appropriate plug-in.
New applications
If you’re looking for a complete solution consisting of new application software and
Sharp OSA enabled MFPs, we’ll be happy to advise you about the various products
that are available.
Other standard applications
Sharp is working with a variety of software developers to help them add support for
Sharp OSA to their solutions. If the authors of the application that you’re interested
in have not yet joined the Sharp Partner Network, we’ll be happy to discuss potential
membership with them.
Bespoke applications
If you are using bespoke software that was uniquely developed for your organisation,
Sharp can, in most cases, provide a plug-in development service through a local
integration partner. Alternatively, you can enrol in the Sharp OSA Partner Development
Programme.
