Industry Roundtable: Capture The Value Of Scanning To SharePoint

By Vicki Amendola, ECM Connection magazine

Is scanning to SharePoint just like scanning to any other application? The answer depends on just how sophisticated you want your SharePoint solution to be. Many scanners offer a simple scan-to- SharePoint functionality right out of the box. However, most organizations are looking to move beyond simple scan-to-archive in favor of more advanced scan-to-businessprocess functions that can bring greater efficiency into the business. Both Brian Bagan, director of business development for document imaging at Eastman Kodak, and Kevin Neal, product marketing manager at Fujitsu, agree that scanning to SharePoint is a hot trend right now. But if you are looking to harness the overall power of SharePoint, you're going to need to plan out your strategy ahead of time, as well as ensure that you have the right tools, such as compatible document capture software, to be successful.
