Document Capture and Viewing


INFOCAPTURE
InfoCapture is an innovative, locally developed business-oriented document capture software that works in tandem with Kodak i-series scanners.

Until the advent of Kodak scanners, documents have to be segregated by type since each type may have different size, thickness and quality.  This increases the cost of capture since documents need to be prepared and re-assembled after scanning. In addition, the added handling could cause the destruction or loss of documents

InfoCapture is capable of handling either a set of documents with the same format or a set of documents with different formats. Each document can be indexed individually thus providing access to a document within a folder

INFOVIEW

Infoview is a component of InfoSuite that allows users to search and view images based on their indices. InfoView extracts data from InfoCapture and loads it into an SQL server to allow for consolidated searching. Information on cabinets, documents and fields are automatically iported into the system.

Benefits:
·         Low cost document Viewing
·         Improved productivity thru fast and easy document access
·         Increases information consistency by maintaining a single copy of document
·         Prevent document loss or damage by eliminating handling of hard copy documents
·         Reduced expenses related to photocopies, printing, faxing of documents
·         Improves processing speed thru rapid searching of documents
