eCopy Extends Documentum Imaging

By Greg McNevin

November 14, 2007: The US’s eCopy has released a new document imaging connector for EMC’s Documentum enterprise content management platform, enabling secure document imaging and real time integration.

eCopy provides solutions to integrate paper documents into business software applications. According to the firm, the new Connector has been validated to work with Documentum 6, and delivers distributed document scanning and routing capabilities. eCopy says this enables organisations to bring paper documents once stored outside electronic workflows into their content management systems.

Hardcopy documents can be scanned using multifunction printers (MFPs), after which users can index and store scanned documents into folders within Documentum 6 repositories where the information is immediately available for retrieval and distribution.

eCopy claims its connector is designed to enable organisations to handle scanned documents consistent with existing content management procedures while providing a consistent level of document security. The firm says the software also assists in compliance efforts by maintaining a complete audit trail, logging which documents were scanned, when they were scanned, who scanned them, and to whom they were distributed.

“eCopy makes it easy for any EMC Documentum user to securely capture paper-based information by providing a consistent, easy to use interface across all eCopy-supported MFPs,” said Chip Whitman, director of software alliances at eCopy.

Whitman claims the firm’s software is unique in that it secures the document immediately at the point of scanning, enabling organisations to prove that critical documents have not been tampered with from the very first moment they enter their digital lifecycle.
