(Konica Minolta), a leading provider of advanced imaging and networking technologies for the desktop to the print shop, today announced the availability of eCopy ShareScan® for integrated Konica Minolta multifunctional printers (MFPs – print, copy, fax, scan all-in-one system) through Konica Minolta’s bizhub® Extended Solution Technology (bEST) Developer Support Program.  Launched earlier this year, the bEST program enables developers to adapt existing applications to Konica Minolta devices or use successful Konica Minolta technologies, such as bizhub Open API, to create innovative solutions to previously unresolved challenges.

The new document imaging software is available via the bEST program, and enables Konica Minolta’s customers to use eCopy ShareScan without any additional hardware at the Konica Minolta bizhub® MFP, providing lower total cost of ownership.  Customers now can access eCopy ShareScan directly from the bizhub MFP touch screen, providing businesses with greater workflow efficiency by converting paper documents into easily managed digital files.

The eCopy solution transforms full-color or black and white documents into electronic images that are easily shared and distributed for increased productivity.  In addition, the solution helps speed information exchange with its support of scan-to-Email, fax, folder, desktop or printer functions, and popular content management and collaboration software such as EMC Documentum and Microsoft SharePoint.

The new software solution enables IT administrators to more easily manage document scanning functionality from a central location, decreasing administration costs.  Customers can choose from two configurations to this important integration platform – eCopy ShareScan Essentials or eCopy ShareScan Suite – both of which provide cost-effective alternatives for customers to address their specific document management environment. continue reading...

eCopy, Inc. is continuing its quest to help close the workflow divide in the workplace—where digital documents follow one path and paper documents follow another, often much slower, route—with its latest software solution. eCopy PaperWorks is a desktop document imaging solution that helps users scan paper documents, merge them with other digital files, modify the documents and connect them to back-end repositories and line-of-business applications.

PaperWorks replaces the company’s eCopy Desktop offering. It augments the eCopy ShareScan Suite and ShareScan Essentials network scan-capture and routing solutions, which integrate with many leading MFPs and enable users to easily scan paper documents and integrate them into more than 100 leading business applications, such as enterprise content management (ECM) software, document management repositories, fax software, collaboration platforms and more. While PaperWorks can be used as an adjunct to ShareScan (and is included in both ShareScan bundles), ShareScan is not required to take advantage of the desktop software’s features.

“ShareScan handles distributed front-office capture and connects to business and enterprise applications,” explained Tim Durant, vice president, Business Development Worldwide for eCopy. “PaperWorks handles the document processing piece of the puzzle: working with documents to scan, merge, modify and connect.”

PaperWorks is a desktop document imaging application that falls on the software continuum between simple scan-capture solutions (such as Sharp’s Sharpdesk) and full-blown document management applications (such as Xerox DocuShare Express). Rather than just scanning a file and dumping it to a folder, where it then has to be opened with another application, PaperWorks allows users to work extensively with digital applications. They can use the PaperWorks interface to capture paper documents from any desktop scanner or network MFP; combine already-existing electronic files (such as Microsoft Office files and e-mail) with scanned documents, faxes and more; view, edit, mark up and manipulate files; and create secure, searchable PDFs of the new documents. And thanks to eCopy’s expertise in connecting to back-end applications such as Microsoft SharePoint, users can deliver and retrieve files via PaperWorks to workflow, document management, communication and other business applications. continue reading...
