There are a plethora of ways to bring data into your ECM solution. For your image capture needs, we generally deploy Kodak scanners, the most reliable in the industry. We use ABBYY's OCR products for the most advanced and accurate automated indexing available. For capturing incoming pages, we install and deploy the market leading fax server. And if you already have processes in place, we can interface with virtually any existing system to ensure seamless service.

Data management encompasses a number of facets, all of which need to be accounted for. Your documents need to be secure; safe against adverse modification, either malicious or accidental; and tightly controlled and audited. However, for authorized users, your data also needs to be easily available, jointly usable across it's intended audience, and quickly searchable. To meet these often competing needs, we deploy many solutions using Microsoft Sharepoint services, which allows full security while offering seamless integration with the client applications you already use.

When a document is created, it enters an implicit lifecycle that is often unmanaged outside of the ECM realm. A document is often modified, passed around, lost, found, updated, overwritten, and eventually replaced because nobody can find it. With a storage system in place, documents live in a central location while they are in use, allowing them to be easily found, and easily collaborated on.

When documents are no longer being updated, many need to enter a long term archival system. These documents are preserved for the period prescribed by regulation or internal policy, then destroyed or routed according the the applicable policy.

When the data in your system needs to be passed to a customer, partner, vendor, or other external entity, there are a variety of methods we can provide. We use industry leading fax servers to enable not only faxing from your desktops, but also faxing from virtually any server application including Sharepoint, SAP, Oracle, and dozens more. We can provide fax services on analog or digital phone lines, or using T.38 on your VOIP infrastructure. Your ECM data can be exported to your other systems directly via databases, via a variety of file formats including standard XML and X.12 formats, or even through simple text and image files, all through a multitude of protocols.
