Ephesoft has announced the release of its new Swagger/OpenAPI-web services for Ephesoft Transact, a simplified application programming interface (API) enabling the integration of Ephesoft’s document capture solutions into any OpenAPI-compliant application such as Microsoft Flow.

How much paper is it worth scanning as part of an electronic document management project? It’s a fraught question, but the answer seems to be ‘only what you need’ with legacy records and ‘Day Forward’ scanning of new documents as they are produced. The push towards Day Forward Scanning as a step on the path towards full Digital Transformation is driving strong growth in the scanning business at Australia’s Advance Record Management, headquartered in Geelong, Victoria. 

There are many aspects to consider when embarking on a major back scanning project, and one of the most daunting if pursuing an in-house approach is acquiring the necessary scanning hardware and software to digitise the archive, as well as developing the expertise to make it all run smoothly. Scanning specialist EzeScan is gaining traction with a headache free option providing the ability to rent scanners and the necessary software for the duration of a project, with setup and training included. Once the project is completed, the user simply hands it all back having had the ability to better manage cash flow by choosing to either CAPEX or OPEX the solution costs.

Many technological advancements in the past 100 years have changed the way businesses operate, but perhaps none will have a greater impact than Artificial Intelligence. The past few years have seen new wave of innovations brought about by Artificial Intelligence (AI) that automates business processes and improves efficiencies across enterprises. A recent research by PwC reveals that Artificial intelligence (AI) will contribute as much as $15.7 trillion to the global economy by 2030. That enormous value creation comes from productivity gains resulting from automating business processes and augmenting the existing labor force, as well as increased demand for higher quality and more personalized AI-based products.
