The real problem with that is paper, due to its very nature is inefficient. The fact is, you probably don’t really care about the paper itself as you do about the information that resides on the paper. Therefore, if there were a way to quickly “capture” the paper one time and accurately extract the key information you need to run your business, you could lower your operating costs, get more done with the same staff, or even increase revenues.

With MagScan you can easily capture all of your paper documents and in many cases automatically and accurately extract key pieces of information without ever touching a keyboard. Once captured, the extracted information can instantly be passed to other applications, such as, PeopleSoft, Oracle, Lawson, Baan, Documentum, FileNet, Open Text, etc., to complete a specific business transaction, or simply to archive a record for businesses that require auditable records.

I am familiar with other scanning solutions; how does MagScan compare?

Frankly, you will find that MagScan looks and feels very much like the leading information capture applications available on the market today. Many of the features you know are available in MagScan, such as, OCR, barcoding, patch codes, rubber band zoom, rubber band OCR, sticky fields, electronic file import, release to CD, and many more.

A few important differences include:

I already have another scanning application, so how can I benefit from MagScan?

We know that thousands of companies have deployed many different types of scanning solutions to help their organizations deal with paper more efficiently. For the most part, these solutions – particularly the leading solutions – work very well and we encourage their continued use. However, sometimes buying those same solutions for another departmental application, or expanding their reach into multiple remote offices can be cost prohibitive. MagScan can be your answer. MagScan can capture and release images and information to virtually any ECM, or line-of-business application, and because we are the manufacturer, we can create custom integrations that can even feed information from MagScan into other capture applications – even advanced forms recognition applications. We’ll even let you try MagScan at no cost, because we know that once you see how easy it is to use you’ll want to own it.

What scanners does MagScan support?

We’ve designed MagScan to use Kofax’s Image Controls, Pixel Translations ISIS controls and industry standard TWAIN drivers, so virtually every “document” scanner available on the market today is supported by MagScan. MagScan does not support large format scanners.

What Enterprise Content Management solutions does MagScan support?

MagScan provides a full set of API’s, so it’s easy to create a release module to virtually any repository or database. We have created release modules to the following solutions: Open Text/Gauss/Magellan, EMC/Documentum AX, Microsoft SharePoint, IBM Lotus Notes, Release to CD, FileNet, Oracle and SAP. If you have a different repository than listed here, let us know and we can easily create a release module for you.
