IRISPowerscan 9, the next generation of I.R.I.S.' document capture solution now directly connects to Microsoft SharePoint.

This enables the user to scan and index documents while automatically identifying document types. Those images are then converted into hyper-compressed, fully searchable PDF, PDF/A-1b or XPS files. Finally, those files are exported with their indexes into the appropriate Microsoft SharePoint document library.

This new version of IRISPowerscan adds a Wizard to help the user configure their favorite IRISPowerscan templates (Quick Projects or Service Packages) so they can start sending documents to Microsoft SharePoint in a few clicks.

After specifying the Microsoft SharePoint server address, IRISPowerscan will automatically list the available document libraries. The user simply selects a library, as well as a document type.

The Wizard will also list the library descriptions, allowing for column names within SharePoint to be used as indexes. Finally the Wizard will help the user define the remainder of the process (Document separation, Formatting and OCR options ).

Pierre De Muelenaere, President & CEO of I.R.I.S. said, "This complete document capture solution is based on standard components, which means an easy deployment and a rapid return on investment for both the Microsoft VARs and the end customer.

"The previous version was already able to export documents into SharePoint thanks to an optional add-on, but IRISPowerscan 9 for Microsoft SharePoint offers a built-in connector for direct export into SharePoint . Its very intuitive interface and easy-to-use Wizard get the user up and running in no time, and turn scanning and exporting batches of document to their DMS easier than ever before!"
