iKAN Software Announces Software Support For The Fujitsu ScanSnap N1800 Network Scanner

Network based document scanning will change the way companies get their paper documents into their information repositories

iKAN Software, a document capture software and solution provider, recently announced availability of its OneFile document scanning solution for the Fujitsu ScanSnap N1800 Network Scanner from Fujitsu Computer Products of America, Inc. (http://us.fujitsu.com/fcpa). The solution will enable companies to attach network based scan devices from Fujitsu and immediately be able to deploy them in their environments. The first versions of the software will provide a scan to cloud capability and an automated scan to SharePoint capability.

The Fujitsu ScanSnap N1800 Network Scanner is designed to simplify document collaboration for all types of organizations, including small and midsize businesses (SMBs), groups within an enterprise and across the front office to the back office. The latest network scanner added to the award-winning line of Fujitsu ScanSnap scanning solutions offers new tools to make digitizing documents simple and specialized training unnecessary, enhanced security features to combat the threat of data compromise, and added flexibility to easily create customizable interface screens for a consistent user experience.

Additionally, Instead of requiring a PC, the unit is totally self-contained and can be monitored from an administrative console. A programming interface allows companies to create touch screen based applications making it easy for customers to use and share. Applications can be tailored for specific customer needs and provide a simple way to ensure content governance across the organization.

"We think the ScanSnap N1800 scanner represents the future of distributed based scanning," stated Ed Amash, Partner at iKAN Software. "Network based devices are a logical evolution for front office scanning applications, providing advantages over both digital copiers and devices attached to PC's. The development of the solution for the N1800 extends our strong commitment to Fujitsu and to providing the best experience possible for users to get their content into the corporate mainstream. I am sure we will see increasing interest in these types of devices to address the different requirements of our customers."

"The adoption of network scanners has gained tremendous momentum over the past few years by helping organizations decrease the complex nature of scanning without compromising access to important document scanning functionality," said Scott Francis, vice president of marketing, Fujitsu Computer Products of America, Inc. "Fujitsu has worked closely with iKAN for the past seven years and we're excited to integrate its OneFile document scanning solution with our latest network scanner to provide customers with a powerful solution to help streamline their document capture workflow."
