•White Paper: Enterprise Capture Considerations: Not All Capture Products Are Created Equal
If we look at how document capture technology has evolved over the years, the technology has matured in many ways including the ability to read machine-printed and hand-printed data from forms and documents at a very high degree of accuracy, validate information against all types of business applications, and deliver data and images to a variety of back-end content repositories and business systems. These proven capabilities sometimes blur the differences between the different capture products available today. When considering an enterprise capture solution it is helpful to take a step back and look at all of your business and operational requirements before determining which capture solution is right for your business.
Not All Capture Products are Created Equal
When looking for a capture solution today, you will find that there are many products to choose from. Some
capture solutions provide a simple to use approach for those looking for basic scanning and indexing of
documents, while other capture solutions provide flexibility optimized for enterprise capture environments that
have unique and, in some cases, complex requirements. If we look at the core capabilities of a capture product,
you will find that most solutions have the basic features covered – scanning, image enhancement, recognition,
validation, and export. And in some cases, these basic capabilities are all that is needed.
However, these basic capture capabilities do not meet the requirements for all customers. For example, if you expect to be capturing high volumes and many different types of documents, then looking for a scalable solution that will provide automatic document identification is important. The ability for a capture solution to automate the identification of documents will reduce the amount of time that is spent preparing and sorting documents before scanning. Automating this step alone will result in significant cost savings. If the volume of scanned pages is very high, then selecting a proven solution that easily scales across several servers in an enterprise environment is essential.
