Intelligent Document Recognition At The Document Scanning Device

Momentum Prague -- eCopy, Inc. is showcasing technologies that combine intelligent document recognition (IDR) and front office document scanning devices at the EMC Momentum Prague 2008 Conference from 10 to 13 November. eCopy will present IDR solutions that enable organizations to cope with enormous volumes and varieties of paper-based documents, shorten "time to value" of information, and reduce the IT burden of supporting multi point solutions.

eCopy will show conference attendees how the EMC Captiva Dispatcher and eCopy solutions start the dynamic document capture process at the document imaging device, either a scanner or multi-functional device (MFD). As a result, documents are classified, data is extracted and validated before it enters the corporate network or content management system.

"Organisations are able to leverage eCopy alongside EMC solutions to capture and process paper documents and forms in a simple, efficient, automated way, before delivering content into business applications and processes," said Alan Cornwell, eCopy general manager, Europe, "When our solutions are used together, the two life-cycle processes are merged to create a single policy, which reduces cost, increases productivity, and significantly enhances security."

At EMC Momentum, Owen Kilbane, eCopy business development manager for EMEA, will present a session titled "Distributed Capture Platforms - Reducing Costs, Removing Bottlenecks and Mitigating Risk." In this presentation, Kilbane will discuss strategies that take advantage of MFDs and scanners already in place, enabling organizations to deploy capture technologies to remote offices and reduce manual document handling processes. The Momentum session will take place on 12 November at 5 pm.

"Distributed capture enables organizations to reduce their operational costs associated with moving, storing, retrieving, and managing paper-based files, as well as substantially accelerate business processes," said Chris Preston, Senior Director, Content Management and Archiving, EMC Corporation. "We are pleased to be working with eCopy as we are both committed to helping organizations leverage distributed capture technology to make a real difference in the way work gets done."

In addition, eCopy's solution increases the useful lifespan of previous capital investments; for example, corporate networks, MFDs and content management systems, by enhancing their functionality. This helps justify marginal costs and ROI calculations associated with adopting end-to-end distributed capture solutions.
