What document imaging solutions are right
for your company?There are many types of document
imaging solutions available. Picking the right one is
crucial to your projects success.
Every document scanning solution requires
a well thought out plan and competent people to implement it.
Additionally, when purchasing a document scanning system,
remember that competent people are needed to run it on a day to
day basis.
Which avenue is right for you?
- You can do it yourself using tired inefficient
processes
- Expensive imaging software and hardware can be
purchased to create a custom data processing solution
and/or a document scanning management system
- A document scanning bureau could be contracted to do
the entire project for you.
We offer the following data processing
solutions.
Document Scanning Systems
IntegrationsSome businesses will never be comfortable with
outsourcing. For these companies we offer software and hardware
integration services. As a document imaging specialist, we have
used many products to image and process data with great
effectiveness.
Document Scanning
Systems Integrations can be very complex. These systems are
made up of three components, scanner, imaging software, and
document management software.
A good document imaging systems integrator can
put a system in place for you in less than thirty days. We will
do an analysis to determine what your goals are and then
specify various pieces of software and hardware to help you
achieve your objectives. Additionally, we will provide all the
necessary support and training to help you get the most out of
your new system.
The industry standard hardware and software is
listed below:
Document Scanners
- Bell and Howell
- Fuijits
- Kodak
Imaging Software
- Kofax
- Anydoc
- Captaris
- On-Base
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 like, after the implementation of any new
data processing solution. The best place to get this analysis
is from a document imaging vendor who provides integration
services as well as outsourcing services. After you know all
the facts an educated decision can be made.
