Document management this week has been dominated by the release of a number of document viewers including two that make it easier to view and share documents in SharePoint 2010. Xerox has also been busy with the release of mobile printing software, while eFileCabinet has upgraded its document management software to v5.0.
Xerox Releases Mobile Printing Options
Xerox (news, site) has only just launched its rebranding campaign to establish itself in the minds of its customers as a document management giant, but it is clearly not dropping the printing element of its business either.
Their latest release is for mobile office workers with three new tools that make it easier to print regardless of location.
The first is the Xerox Mobile Print Solution that lets mobile professionals easily and securely print e-mails, presentations and other business documents from any smart phone or e-mail-enabled device.
This enables users to print from devices without having to download drivers or applications. Users simply e-mail the file in its original format, such as Microsoft Word or Adobe PDF, to a secure server.
Enhancements have also been added to both the Xerox Mobile Express and Global Print Drivers. These tools allow mobile workers to print to virtually any printer or MFP available on the network, regardless of location or brand, and reduce the time spent managing print drivers for various devices.
It’s the small things that count and this will make life considerably easier. In addition to this, both Mobile Express and Global Print Drivers are free and currently available for download from the Xerox website. The Xerox Mobile Print Solution will be available at the end of the year for early installs and generally available in early 2011.
Ephesoft Introduces CMIS Integration
You may remember that one of the main areas we identified as in need of careful consideration when introducing intelligent document capture was compatibility with legacy systems. Clearly open source document capture vendor Ephesoft (news, site) agrees and has just added the new CMIS specification to its software.
The result is improved interoperability between enterprise content management systems and the data coming through Ephesoft. It enables users to archive the metadata or kick start document driven business processes quickly and accurately in their enterprise ECM.
Based on open source technology, Ephesoft offers intelligent document capture with scanning, automatic classification, data extraction and document delivery. Because it is developed in JAVA, Ephesoft runs on either Windows or Linux, and users can choose from several ingestion methods.
Based in Irvine, CA, Ephesoft has developed an intelligent document capture system designed to improve the automation of mailroom processes through classifying, sorting and separating incoming documents, and extracting pertinent information from these business documents for distribution and processing.
Ephesoft Community Edition is 100% Open Source and available for download from the website. The Enterprise Edition is open source with commercial support and enterprise extensions.
