EMC Streamlines Distributed Document Capture

By Greg McNevin

January 24, 2008: EMC is claiming to have dramatically advanced web-based distributed document capture, with the addition of a new solution to its arsenal that automates the scanning and indexing of paper documents from remote offices.

Called Captiva eInput 2.0, EMC says the solution streamlines document capture by automating the classification of documents, the extraction of data and the validation of information from a web browser.

An extension to the Captiva InputAccel platform, eInput has been designed to work with EMC’s Documentum and transactional content management (TCM) applications, such as loan processing, insurance claim processing, invoice processing, new account enrolment, and case management.

Additionally, as it working with InputAccel EMC says the software integrates with a wide array of back-end enterprise content management (ECM) and business process management (BPM) systems, as well as a range of other enterprise applications.

“When used in conjunction with EMC's InputAccel capture solution, Captiva can effectively accelerate the capture of paper documents from remote locations and reduce or eliminate manual handling and delivery service costs between remote offices and centralised processing,” said Chris Preston, Senior Director for Content Management and Archiving at EMC.

“The end result delivers true competitive advantage for our customers by providing global reach for transactional-based process that is fully integrated with centralised back office processes.”
