Epson are pleased to offer a selection of unique document management implementation features, enabling Epson scanners to be easily integrated within existing information systems.
Although digital copiers and MFPs are equipped with advanced features for the market, transforming paper documents into electronic data on busy copiers is not always the most convenient solution. Therefore, document scanners remain key products for many applications.
The document imaging process begins with the conversion of paper based documents to electronic files. Because paper files are costly to process, duplicate, distribute and store, digitalising paper archives ultimately reduces operating expenses and overheads - so is an ideal cost-effective solution.
Another consideration is the legal aspect of electronic documents which is evolving across Europe as a primary source of information and business concern. Therefore, we would recommend that businesses should follow up imminent and existing electronic document laws and regulations in order to comply with the latest archiving requirements.
The innovative Epson Event Manager solution which comes as a standard extra with all new Epson Business Scanner models offers a new outlook on paper capture integration in to document management process. So the capture process can be fully customised to automate document capture process via Event Manager connectors to address any repository folder like network and ftp folder as well as any document management application like Microsoft SharePoint, OCR software or even make copy to local or network printer at a touch of one button.
