Document Imaging & Document Capture

Document imaging is essential technology for organizations today, connecting people to the information they need to make better decisions and work more productively. Advanced products go far beyond the traditional, document-scanning capture approach to provide a complete foundation for collecting and retrieving all enterprise content.

Because in all industries, departments and roles, the amount and complexity of unstructured data — e-mail, electronic files, multimedia, XML and hundreds of other types in addition to scanned documents — continue to multiply even as information technologies like ERP (enterprise resource planning) systems are deployed.

The most effective document imaging products address the fundamental issues surrounding this constant influx of content:

• Individuals are accumulating volumes of information for isolated purposes
• Efforts to find information are time-consuming, costly and often unsuccessful
• Disconnected information processes and technologies exist organization-wide
