Distributed Capture Platforms: Reducing Costs, Removing Bottlenecks and Mitigating Risk

in

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
CaptureAdopting new equipment and technology is of paramount importance to sustaining a competitive business. Where shortsighted organizations adopt the “latest and greatest” technology, market-leading companies tend to seek out new technologies that are compatible with or complement their previous investments, resulting in enhanced functionality and an increased useful lifespan for previous capital investments.

Document imaging hardware such as printers, scanners or faxes located on employee desktops, or multi-functional peripheral (MFP) devices capable of performing all of these imaging tasks on a department-wide basis, are some of the largest capital expenses of many businesses. By adopting distributed capture technology to enhance the capabilities and utilization of these devices, companies have been able to reign in operating costs and gain business advantages over their competition.

Businesses and governments alike are continuously seeking ways to improve their business processes in an attempt to reduce cost, increase productivity, and provide better service. Distributed workforces are becoming more common for many reasons. Some organizations like the fact that their in-the-field employees have greater ability to frequently meet and engage with clients. Regardless of why a distributed workforce exists, the use of distributed capture technology can help ensure employees in decentralized settings are successful. At the same time, distributed capture solutions can reduce operating costs, remove potential process bottlenecks, and mitigate risk associated with transporting business documents containing sensitive information to multiple locations. continue reading...

Tips for Evaluating Scanning Solutions Before You Buy: A White Paper For Purchasing A Scanning Solution For Your Digital Copier or Scanner

scanning thumbnail Total cost of ownership (TCO) attempts to quantify the costs associated with a specific product implementation over the lifecycle of the product. This type of analysis is essential to financial decision makers who must take a long-term view of IT spending above and beyond the initial acquisition costs. Office copiers and scanners must now be looked at in the same way.

  • The goal is to answer questions such as:
    “How much will it cost us to use this technology over the next five years (or the term of the copier lease)?”
  • “How much can our organization save by implementing
    Vendor A’s solution compared to Vendor B’s?”

On any IT project, initial acquisition costs typically represent only a small percentage of the total cost of ownership. Much more significant are the “hidden costs” associated with a particular solution. continue reading...
