System Requirements for Workflow Intelligence

Understand whats needed to operate the Zebraworks platform.

ScanQ, MailQ, RecordsQ, PrintQ and CostQ run on-premise or in a virtual private cloud on your own Windows servers. The Zebraworks Bridge connects them to the Zebraworks platform in Azure, moving documents securely between your firewall and the platform.

The requirements below are grouped by what you are deploying. Each section names the products it applies to. For BillQ, PayQ and DataQ AI, see the Revenue Acceleration system requirements.

SOC 2 certification

Zebraworks is SOC 2 Type II certified, demonstrating our commitment to the highest standards of data security, availability, and confidentiality.

On-premise and virtual private cloud applications

Applies to: ScanQ, MailQ, RecordsQ, PrintQ, CostQ

These applications can run on-premise or in a virtual private cloud, optionally working with the Zebraworks Outlook Add-in and Mobile App via the Zebraworks Bridge to the cloud.

Identity provider

  • On-premises Active Directory
  • Hybrid Azure Active Directory
  • Azure Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) within an Azure Virtual Network

Security

We recommend using https with a trusted SSL certificate; http is optional.

Database server

  • Microsoft SQL Server 2025, 2022, 2019, 2017 or 2016
  • Workgroup, Standard or Enterprise editions
  • SQL Express may be used in small installations, including on the ScanQ Command Center server. Discuss the additional resources required with your implementation consultant.

Application servers

Applies to: ScanQ, MailQ, RecordsQ, PrintQ, CostQ

Your implementation consultant will make specific recommendations based on your expected usage and environment. All application servers run Windows Server 2025, 2022, 2019 or 2016.

Baseline server classes

Utility application server

For backend application services.

  • 2 CPU cores (2.6GHz or faster), 4GB RAM
  • C: drive for Windows, D: drive of 100GB or more for the application
  • 1GB connectivity

Single application server

One Zebraworks application per server.

  • 4 or more CPU cores (2.6GHz or faster), 6GB or more RAM
  • C: drive for Windows, D: drive of 100GB or more for the application
  • 1GB connectivity

Multi-application server

Multiple Zebraworks applications per server. When CostQ and ScanQ are implemented together, Enterprise Platform and Command Center are typically installed on the same server.

  • 8 or more CPU cores (2.6GHz or faster), 16GB or more RAM
  • C: drive for Windows, D: drive of 150GB or more for the applications
  • 1GB connectivity

High volume application server

Used for scanning and OCR.

  • 8 or more CPU cores (2.6GHz or faster), 24GB or more RAM
  • C: drive for Windows, D: drive of 300GB or more for the applications
  • 1GB connectivity

Requirements by application

  • ScanQ Command Center, without CostQ — single application server
  • ScanQ Command Center, with CostQ — multi-application server
  • ScanQ InfoRoute — high volume application server, with 2 cores in addition to the 4 to 6 required by ABBYY. The service, orchestrator, import agent and engines can all run on one server.
  • ScanQ InfoRoute engines — high volume application server, with 1 core in addition to the 4 to 6 required by ABBYY. Additional engine-only servers can be deployed to reduce scanning and OCR time.
  • IIS — single application server
  • PrintQ — utility application server
  • CostQ — single application server
  • CostQ replication — single application server
  • Multiple applications on one server — multi-application server. Depending on usage and environment, Zebraworks applications can be combined on single server instances. Customize with your implementation consultant.

ABBYY is licensed to use 4 cores by default, and can be increased to 6 cores per server with additional licensing.

Zebraworks Bridge

The Zebraworks Bridge securely connects the Zebraworks platform running in Azure to systems inside your firewall or virtual private cloud.

Security, all Bridge deployments

All incoming traffic is validated using Auth0 and only valid https connections are accepted. The firm's firewall will need to be configured to accept incoming connections only from the Zebraworks platform egress IP.

  • SSL TLS 1.2 or greater with a trusted certificate on a public domain is required
  • All information in transit is encrypted over TLS
  • The Zebraworks Bridge Admin UI is only accessible to the localhost

Bridge for scanning, print and mail

Applies to: ScanQ, PrintQ

For the Mobile App, the Bridge securely moves documents via the Gateway and Azure Blob Storage to ScanQ and PrintQ, and relays print requests via the Gateway to PrintQ. For the Outlook Add-in, the Bridge delivers documents via the Gateway, caching from the original document repository inside the firm's firewall; blob storage is not used.

Bridge server

  • Utility application server
  • .NET 6 runtime
  • Trusted access to the Zebraworks IP address
  • Network communication access to ScanQ Command Center

Document handling

  • Documents are only stored in the firm's repository within the firm's firewall
  • During transfer, documents are encrypted with runtime generated cycled keys, and files are promptly and permanently deleted after transfer
  • Documents are removed from local storage

Mobile app and Outlook add-in

Applies to: ScanQ, PrintQ

The Zebraworks Outlook Add-in shows a user's ScanQ inside Outlook, including Outlook web and Outlook mobile. The Zebraworks Mobile Application enables scanning to your ScanQ, and printing and secure release with PrintQ.

Operating system versions

  • iOS and iPadOS 14.4 or later
  • Android 12 or later

Identity provider

Sign-on is via your existing access control system, using Auth0 to authenticate with your identity provider of choice, including Active Directory, Azure AD, ADFS, LDAP, SAML and others.

Privacy

Refer to the mobile app privacy policy for detailed information on how the app handles data.
