Distributed Capture Whitepaper Looks at How to Improve Business Processes in Decentralized Work Environments

New Frost & Sullivan Whitepaper Reviews How Distributed Document Imaging Can Reduce Costs, Remove Bottlenecks and Mitigate Risk

Nashua, N.H., March 30, 2009 – As workforces become increasingly dispersed from central office locations, organizations are challenged to pull people and information together in efficient business processes. A new whitepaper from the research firm Frost & Sullivan examines how companies can utilize distributed document capture technology to connect paper documents and forms from remote locations with enterprise business systems and processes.

The whitepaper, sponsored by EMC Corporation and eCopy, outlines the steps organizations can take to capture documents from remote sites and automatically classify them, extract and validate data, and deliver documents and data to central content repositories and business applications. It shows how companies can streamline processes and improve employee productivity as well as reduce operational expenses related to transporting, storing, retrieving and managing paper-based information.

The whitepaper takes a close look at the business process improvement opportunities in insurance, financial services and healthcare to demonstrate costs and risks common across all industries. Work processes, such as claims handling, loan processing and managing patient records, are examined and the paper discusses the specific improvements that distributed capture can deliver.

Frost &Sullivan also reviews how EMC Captiva and eCopy document imaging software work together to deploy capture technologies at remote offices. For example, the paper looks at how EMC Captiva InputAccel Connector for eCopy ShareScan enables companies to connect multifunction peripherals (MFPs) to EMC Captiva InputAccel, an enterprise capture platform that automates the capture and delivery of information from paper. The software helps organizations reduce or completely eliminate manual data entry of information that resides on paper documents, accelerate business processes, improve employee productivity, and reduce risks.
