This week Nuance connects scanning to over 20 different clouds, Workshare upgrades its document exchange abilities, Kofax took a look at document capture in the enterprise, while AnyDocs got healthy. We also took a look at what exactly business process management is.
Nuance Offers Cloud Connections
Nuance (news, site) has just released PaperPort Professional 14 for Microsoft Windows. PaperPort 14 expands on existing capabilities with fast and simple scanning, easy-to-use document organization, support for PDF and connectivity to network folders and applications.
However, what will really catch users attention in this release is that it can now connect with over 20 cloud services, including Google Docs and Evernote, as well as integration with the new Nuance PaperPort Anywhere cloud and mobile service.
PaperPort Anywhere lets users automatically store their desktop documents in the cloud, and access those documents via PaperPort 14 on Windows, through web browsers and using free apps for the Apple(R) iPad(R), iPhone(R) and Google Android devices.
Scanning is made faster and easier through new Scan-and-Open additions to One-Click scanning, supporting nearly any TWAIN, WIA and ISIS scanning device.
Even better is that it also comes with a very interesting price tag. PaperPort 14 is US$ 99 and PaperPort Professional 14 is US$ 199 for individual users, with volume discounts available through the Nuance Open License Program.
Workshare Releases Professional 7
Document management and collaboration vendor Workshare (news, site), has just released Workshare Professional 7 to improve the document collaboration process and enhance document collaboration across the enterprises.
Working within Microsoft Office, it enables users to review and compare changes to contracts, documentation, financial filings and other business documents when sharing between email, web portals and document repositories as well as identifying hidden information (metadata).
The latest release of Workshare Professional 7 simplifies the installation process, speeding the deployment of the solution throughout the enterprise.
Another significant new feature in version 7 provides automatic detection and comparison of changes when attachments are sent, modified and returned through email, alerting users directly in Outlook. It also includes a Category View for document comparison.
The metadata removal interface is now much faster to use and easier to understand, so users can more simply apply appropriate actions when emails are sent.
Document Management and BPM
In light of the recent acquisition of BPM vendor Global 360 by OpenText (news, site), during the week we took a look at the question of the relationship between enterprise content management and integrated business process management software.
If ECM and BPM are two distinct set of software tools, outside of IT departments, there appears to be some confusion as to what to expect from either, with some businesses looking to enterprise content management to solve issues where they really should be looking at business process management.
