Psi:capture News & Articles

Every company likes to save something special for their annual convention, and IRIS (news, site) is no exception. One of the releases that caught our attention was the upgrade to IRISPowerscan, which comes with a built-in connector to SharePoint 2007 and a wizard for capturing and managing documents.

PSIGEN Software (news, site) continues it development of PSI:Capture with the release of v3.6, which, like previous upgrades, adds a couple of more small improvements that should make things a bit easier for all concerned.

This time they have focused on improving the abilities of v3.6 to archive fax images automatically as well as additional enhancements to their Advanced Data Extraction (ADE) software. And again, they have also spruced-up their SharePoint migration abilities.

Earlier this summer, PSIGEN Software (news, site)  and Atalasoft (news, site) announced that they were coming together to provide an image capture solution for SharePoint. There was a lot of cheering at the time as they said the combination of advanced capture and viewing technology would provide an affordable, feature rich option to a market with few alternatives.

Since then not a lot has been said about it -- until yesterday at the SharePoint conference in Las Vegas when the companies jointly announced the release of the SharePoint Document Management bundle consisting of Atalasoft’s Vizit SP and PSIGEN’s PSI:Capture.

It's a common requirement for many organizations -- the ability to mask certain data in scanned documents so that it can't be seen by the wrong the people (or people who just don't need to see it).

PSIGEN (news, site) has updated its document scanning and capture suite, PSI:Capture, with that ability through the addition of Intelligent redaction.

A new feature in PSI:Capture 3.5.2, the system can be configured to automatically scan for confidential information such as a social security number or a credit card number and redact it (black it out). You can also create template for common documents that will automatically redact certain information.

While automated redaction is the optimal approach, manual redaction is also available.

Intelligent redaction is just the latest enhancement to the PSI:Capture product. Also included is SharePoint WebDav folder monitoring, advanced data extraction and triggered image processing.

As one of a number of document scanning and capture solutions specialized for SharePoint, PSI:Capture has all the features required to keep an organization compliant and their content secure.

California-based Psigen Software (news, site) has just announced that it has added an Advanced Data Extraction module to its document management system DMS PSI: Capture as part of v3.5.2.

This new addition will give Capture the ability to parse, scan and extract information from all kinds of documents without any end-user intervention.

While Psigen says that this will be part of v3.5.2 of their DMS, it doesn’t say whether it is this feature that bumps it up a point from v3.5.1, or whether there are other elements combined that will do that.

While the question may be academic, it is of some interest as the rate with which Psigen is developing this product is noteworthy in a market that is bursting with new solutions and new releases.

Psigen itself has been flirting outrageously with SharePoint and has made no secret of its designs on the Microsoft beauty.

In June, for example, it underwent a SharePoint makeover by thoughtfully offering a SharePoint Lookup Provider (SLP) which provides integration with the SharePoint Database and seemingly allows for a jazzed up automation process when scanning and capturing documents destined for Document Libraries.

However, it is also playing the field like any other 14-year-old (company) would be expected to and in July offered FileBound, a similar solution and services.

It's hard to know where all of this is going to end up, but in an industry sector where only the fittest will survive, its practically certain Psigen is already checking out the talent for its next conquest.

That Psigen Software (news, site), a fourteen year old company that has focused on “perfect, simple imaging”, and Atalasoft (news, site), a provider of scanning and imaging technologies have gotten together is no real surprise given Pisgens’s recent form.

Psigen is mostly known for its capture solution for SharePoint -- PSI:Capture -- and has been busy using it to fill one of the holes in the SharePoint platform, notably its ability, or lack thereof, to provide a decent document image capture function.

Atalasoft’s crown jewel is the sophisticated, but user-friendly, image viewer VizitSP that adds viewing, cleanup, classification and annotation abilities to even the poorest system.

PSIGEN Software, a fourteen year old company built on the premise “perfect, simple imaging” has a pretty strong grip on the Document Management and Enterprise Content Management world.

Mostly known for their capture solutions for SharePoint, the company recently announced a new tool they hope will win over even more hearts from the Microsoft fan base. SharePoint Lookup Provider (SLP) provides integration with the SharePoint Database, which reportedly allows for a jazzed up automation process when scanning and capturing documents destined for document Libraries.
