They are all great scanner and imaging software products, but they do require integration, training and support. These
products are only as good as the person who knows how to use them effectively.
What makes the most sense for you?
I was taught that people power is really expensive and office equipment is cheap by comparison. I like to take that one step
further. I find it is often cheaper to use other people’s office equipment and man power than your own.
Of course, there is more to the equation than just costs when it comes to your business processes. Some applications just
naturally lend themselves to outsourcing or in-house imaging applications while others do not.
Detailed Analysis
If you take nothing else from this page, know that you must get a detailed analysis describing what your new workflow will look

provides integration services as well as outsourcing services. After you know all the facts an educated decision can be made.
