Visioneer and Daybreak ICS Announce New Enterprise Solution for Documentum-eCapture for eRoom
Visioneer, Inc., offering intelligent imaging solutions, and Daybreak ICS, Inc., a content management services company focused on the Documentum platform, jointly announced eCaptureT for eRoom®. eCapture for eRoom is a software scanning solution, utilizing the Visioneer OneTouchT interface, that enables users to scan paper documents and send them to a selected Documentum eRoom® with the single push of a button. eCapture for eRoom will be available exclusively from the Visioneer channel on Visioneer- and Xerox-branded scanners as a single user license or easy-to-deploy 10, 25 and 50 pack licenses in mid-November. The released product will be publicly demonstrated for the first time at Momentum Las Vegas 2005, October 24-27.
"eRoom is a hugely successful online collaboration tool for electronic documents but users have not had a path to easily add paper documents to this collaboration environment," said Don McMahan, Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Visioneer. "In cooperation with Daybreak ICS, Visioneer has now 'opened the doors' to every eRoom for scanned documents. The ease of use of OneTouch and e4e makes adding a paper document to an eRoom as simple as point and click. By scanning documents to Text Searchable PDF, these documents are full eRoom citizens."
eCapture for eRoom (e4eT) is a software application, with both client and server components. By connecting the client machine to the eRoom server, e4e enables users to scan paper directly into the eRoom of their choice in a simple single step by leveraging Visioneer OneTouch technology. After an automated installation process, users configure the OneTouch setting for the desired document type (i.e., paper size, resolution, color depth), file format (e.g., searchable PDF, PDF, JPEG, BMP), and target eRoom. Then, simply press the OneTouch button on their scanner, and the document is scanned, formatted, sent to eRoom, and stored. Users can easily preset the scanner buttons to target their eRoom and document format, and then scan documents automatically. e4e includes the ability to preview files, attach other electronic files, select different eRooms or folders, and batch and forward a group of files. Additional product and sales information can be found at www.visioneer.com/e4e.
"Our clients have recognized the ROI of having their electronic content in the ECM system, but they often struggle with finding a solution to get the same value out of their paper documents. e4e answers that challenge. The capability to literally go in one step from hard copy to a fully searchable electronic file that can be found anywhere via eRoom's URL interface truly unlocks the value of their content," said Kara Cleaver, President of Daybreak ICS.
When scanned to searchable PDF (sPDF) format, the full-text index is fed automatically to the eRoom search capability. Users can search in eRooms to find all documents containing specified text across eRooms and folders. Instead of having to open each scanned image and read it, users can search throughout the contents of one or more eRooms to find all occurrences of a specified word or phrase.
EMC Documentum eRoom is a secure, Web-based workspace that can be tailored for a specific project, process, or business initiative. eRoom is secure, flexible and easily configurable, allowing users to customize and use their collaborative workspaces to support a wide range of business processes and work together more efficiently.
For example, with the core Documentum 5 platform underneath, an organization could automate a proposal submission process by predefining a workflow that involves employees from Sales, Finance and Engineering. When the proposal reaches the approval stage of the process, Documentum can automatically trigger the creation of eRoom workspaces, preconfigured with appropriate memberships, content and tools.
eCapture for eRoom was jointly developed by Daybreak Intellectual Capital Solutions, Inc., a Documentum Signature Partner and Select Services Team member, and Visioneer, Inc., a world-class developer of intelligent imaging solutions.
Visioneer and Daybreak received the EMC "Designed for Documentum" logo designation, a mark of quality and value that customers insist on in enterprise applications. The Designed for Documentum accreditation demonstrates that eCapture for eRoom has successfully met a comprehensive set of criteria for good design, development and implementation. As members of the EMC Documentum Application Logo Program, Visioneer and Daybreak received specialized design consultation and guidance, along with access to dedicated EMC content management technical resources. (Editorial Note: See 10/24/05 press release titled "eCapture for eRoom Receives EMC Designed for Documentum Accreditation" for more information.)
