Civica Authority, the enterprise application used by more than 300 Councils throughout Australia and New Zealand,  is now able to accept data captured from documents directly via EzeScan, the production scanning software developed by Australia’s Outback Imaging.

Mike Kirkby, Managing Director of Outback Imaging, said ‘One of the largest time wasters for any organisation is the re-keying of existing data buried somewhere in their Information Systems.‘ 

‘When scanning documents with EzeScan, Civica Authority customers can now browse Civica Authority registers on the fly and automatically populate metadata fields of scanned documents before they are sent to HP TRIM or any of our supported EDRMS systems.’

‘For example; a council Records Officer processing incoming correspondence with EzeScan can seamlessly apply an ‘Author’ from the ‘Name and Address Register’ and set a Parcel Number from the CIVICA Property module and then upload this as metadata information with the document into their EDRMS.’

For Civica Authority customers seeking more efficient methods of handling large volumes of documents, EzeScan enables them to scan and process paper-based forms, documents and invoices at speeds  previously unattainable.

The combination of EzeScan with Civica Authority will allow customers to address their paper document  processing requirements more efficiently, while dramatically reducing costs.

Outback Imaging has been providing advanced document batch scanning solutions since 2002.  With over 750 customers worldwide, EzeScan solutions range from basic batch scanning with manual data entry to highly automated forms and invoice processing.
