Budget Document Technology - Document Imaging

Document Imaging

Document imaging or electronic document management is a technology built around the need to capture, manage and secure the volume of documents created and received by organizations. Studies have shown that a typical professional worker spends thirty minutes to two hours a day just searching for documents, taking away from time available to actually make use of the information. This technology solves this problem by drastically simplifying the filing process and providing a means to rapidly search, retrieve and share all documents contained within the system. With results in the business, education, medical, legal and many other environments, we offer two proven document imaging solutions- SmartSearch and Laserfiche. The solutions offered here will enable Budget Document Technology to implement a complete document management solution that will prevent lost records, save storage space, manage records easily, find documents quickly, and make images centrally available.

Smartsearch

SmartSearch is the creative effort from the team at Square 9 Softworks. With decades of experience in the Document and Content Management Industry, The Square 9 team understands the challenges small and medium size companies face in managing their files. They also understand the need to stay competitive without investing a small fortune in technology. SmartSearch offers organizations the opportunity to incorporate a feature-rich document management solution into their business at a price that is truly affordable. SmartSearch also lowers total cost of ownership because it's easy to install, configure, learn, use and support.

SmartSearch's open architecture and adherence of industry standards ensures that it is the right solution for the present and the future. By storing documents in their native file format (PDF, TIFF, JPG, PCX, etc), SmartSearch makes sure your documents will always be available. SmartSearch combines this use of open file formats with the power of Microsoft's SQL Server 2005 database engine. Long established as an industry standard, SQL Server delivers unequaled performance and stability. Should Budget Document Technology wish to integrate SmartSearch with other database applications, its open table structure within SQL Server provides an ODBC compliant platform for data exchange.

Laserfiche

Since 1987, Laserfiche Document Management has led the industry in offering smart, flexible, and easily integrated document management solutions for a broad range of business and government needs. As the core strength of Compulink Management Center, Inc., Laserfiche software turns existing PC hardware into robust search and retrieval databases that can be easily scaled from the single user to a large corporate network. With over 21,000 installations worldwide, Laserfiche is widely accepted as an industry standard in document imaging and management solutions.

Laserfiche builds on the advantages of paper documents rather than abandoning paper altogether. Documents are scanned page for page, and a high-resolution photocopy is retained online. Files can still be printed, exchanged, stored and retrieved, but these functions are just the beginning. Laserfiche adds an enormous capability advantage by giving document pages active content.

Laserfiche uses advanced OCR technology to produce ASCII text from scanned documents. Producing text with OCR unlocks the contents of your archives by allowing full-text searches as well as template field and name searches. ASCII text is an industry-standard format that is universally recognized by PCs. It allows easy data migration from one storage medium to another and guarantees the future readability of your documents despite evolving technology.
