What is a Connector?
A Connector provides native integration from eCopy ShareScan or eCopy Desktop to virtually any back-end application. 

eCopy and members of the eCopy Connections Alliance Program (eCAP), offer a series of Connectors and Services that provide additional integration capabilities. These connected solutions enable paper documents to be scanned and distributed into selected document management systems and other enterprise applications, directly from the copier or scanner.

How does it work?
A client application resides at the MFP or scanner, allowing paper documents to be scanned and distributed into selected document management systems and other enterprise applications.  Furthermore, API level integration lets the Connector communicate directly to a server in its language and receive information back instantaneously.

What is the user’s experience at the scanning device? 
Highly flexible, each Connector can be configured to give the user as much or as little flexibility when scanning and delivering or storing documents.  This flexibility allows each button or configuration to be tailored to the type of document being stored and the appropriate level of user interaction.  

Benefits:

• Easy administration – Changes to back end applications are immediately and automatically reflected at the eCopy ShareScan-enabled device
  
  

• Support compliance and security initiatives – Enable audit trails and ensure security through authentication and file encryption files for scanned documents
  
  

• Standardize on a single document capture platform – Users work with a familiar interface at any of the networked copiers/scanners
  
  

• Create customized workflows to store and index documents based on the users’ needs
  
  

• Increase operational efficiencies - Easily access, modify, distribute, and share paper-based documents
  
  

• Leverage investment in backend applications– Quickly and easily get paper into any backend application

Connectors for Desktop

How does it work?
Connectors for eCopy Desktop extend eCopy Desktop’s functionality by providing users native integration between backend business applications and eCopy Desktop.  Within eCopy Desktop, users can manage and modify PDF documents then store them directly into a specific backend application; conversely, they can pull documents from a backend application directly into eCopy Desktop.
Connectors for eCopy Desktop can be designed in such a way to allow direct access to image data for manipulation (e.g., PDF, Annotation, Searchable Text, Add/Split Pages).

Benefits:


• Makes available tighter integration into document management systems, storage, OCR, and fax applications not currently supported in the standard eCopy Desktop offering
  
  
• Provides the ability to gain access to eCopy Desktop viewing and document manipulation capabilities
  
  
• Enhances eCopy Desktop's role as a universal client for scanned documents, ultimately increasing workflow efficiencies for an organization and improving the user's experience
