This week, there has been a lot of movement in the document capture and viewing space, with new capture functionality for SharePoint 2010 offered by CSI and extended viewing capabilities offered with Google Docs. PSIGEN also upgrades its capture capabilities, while Motive continues to expand its cloud-based document management system.
CSI Offers Certified SP 2010 Capture
Something that is commonly overlooked when talking about document management is how exactly we get the documents into the system in the first place — in other words, document or data capture.
Since SharePoint 2010 was released in May, a lot of companies with their eye on the potential rewards offered by integrating with SharePoint 2010 have been looking at ways to do just that.
Computing System Innovations (CSI) is one such company and its integration of its Intellidact software has just been rewarded with Microsoft certification for SharePoint.
Intellidact for SharePoint provides Intellidact’s identity theft protection as well as automated data capture technologies engineered to work within SharePoint environments.
It can process documents either as they are being added to a SharePoint repository or on demand for documents that already exist. CSI says this is the first enterprise-level technology that has been awarded this certification.
One of the advantages with this software is that it provides high volume, high speed, and very high accuracy unstructured data recognition technology to locate and reliably redact or replace confidential information within any PDF, TIFF, Microsoft Office, JPEG or GIF image file.
The result is a substantial reduction in the time needed to comply with information privacy regulations. Although this may be the first certified document capture, it unlikely that it will be the last, with companies beginning to take account of the importance of capturing information effectively.
PSIGEN Upgrades PSI:Capture
Another company that has just released some capture technology is PSIGEN (news, site) — which is not really surprising, as that is what it specializes in.
The recent release of PSI:Capture 4.0 adds a number of features to its capture technology, including Intelligent Character Recognition (ICR), multi-lingual Optical Character Recognition (OCR), auto-redaction on mixed language documents, forms identification and an enhanced feature set for the Advanced Data Extraction (ADE) module.
It has also expanded the number of third-party connectors to 49, allowing for configuration and migration with a large number of enterprise content management systems.
There are more than 100 new features in this release. More important, PSIGEN says this version will act as “a springboard,” enabling it to really put some "oomph" into its international business expansion plans, particularly with the localization of PSI:Capture.
Xerox Extends Reach
Not exactly document management related, but thought you should know. ACS (news, site) has announced that it has bought Unamic/HCN, the largest privately owned customer care provider in Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg.
You may remember ACS as the company for which Xerox paid US$ 6.4 billion in 2009, when Xerox (news, site) started building up its managed services portfolio upon which its drive to extend the reach and scope of its document management services is being built.
