Hosted Capture, Storage, Retrieval, Viewing, Reporting
All web-enabled document applications allow you to store documents as electronic images in databases and retrieve them via web browsers. IMC offers a unique variation on this solution that leverages our strengths in document conversion and ASP hosted applications.
Using various modules, with this solution users can remotely:
- review scanned documents and their indexes with a user-friendly interface during the quality control (QC) phase of conversion
- modify indexing data if needed, then retrieve and view it via broadband links from the created repository
- scan, e-mail, fax and FTP documents into the repository
- perform automatic or custom indexing
With this solution, QC and viewing leverage a familiar file/folder/cabinet hierarchy so that during QC, for instance, staff can remotely:
- perform basic QC operations like despeckle, deskew, cropping and image rotation
- insert or reject pages from files
- organize documents with different indexing data in different cabinets
During remote QC, users can even remotely review and comment on the quality of the conversion process via online reports which feature:
- checkboxes for common error categories like "poor contrast"
- a "Comments" section for more detailed descriptions of problems like "the last page in the batch was cut off"
- conversion process data like batches processed or in queue, documents in each folder and cabinet, etc.
Using web services, IMC can readily integrate these capabilities with:
- robust capture solutions
- legacy applications the interfaces of which can replace the default one so users don't have to learn a new interface or toggle between applications
- industry-dominant Microsoft desktop applications via the Microsoft .NET development environment
- SQL databases via ODBC interfaces
This ASP hosted solution can be used as a robust capture front end as well as for remote storage and retrieval of captured documents. It's ideal for 100 or so concurrent users and can archive virtually unlimited numbers of document images.
