Features: |
PowerScan has revolutionized its approach
to Business Information Capture. The
IDEA suite of
software products is designed to address
organizations need for digital object processing
in an Integrated Digital Environment.
IDEA
represents a paradigm shift from the current
monolithic digital imaging systems to a
comprehensive Integrated Digital Environment. With IDEA, the
capture of digital objects is now information
centric as opposed to media centric. Now users
will be able to satisfy their processing
requirements with an integrated system configured
for their unique processing
requirements.
PowerScan’s IDEA is a
new platform designed to acquire, process, store,
and deliver today's advanced digital objects.
IDEA’s
flexible, modular, open architecture is the
platform from which a digital object solution
should be built. As with
all PowerScan products, IDEA is a
complete working solution designed for use “out of
the box”, or easily modified to address unique
processing requirements.
IDEA puts control of the application
and processing in the hands of the end user. No longer
are users bound by what the software can do;
IDEA is easily configured to create
powerful capture solutions. Simply
point, click, and order the necessary processes,
create an index structure, and IDEA is
ready to capture virtually any type of
document.
NO PROGRAMMING NECESSARY!!! All this
power is managed with centralized administration,
which equates to improved system control and
reduced downtime due to configuration
errors.
IDEA
uses
the power of Microsoft’s
Windows Script
Technologies to provide an event driven
method for external system connectivity and the
format and export captured data and object. By using
Windows Script Technologies, IDEA provides
access to powerful scripting languages like
VBScript, Jscript and other compliant script
engines.
This scripting capability provides almost
limitless access to third party tools and
systems.
Example usages of this capability are
limitless.
Connect to legacy database system for
database look up’s. Extend
IDEA’s processing power by adding in third
party object and data processes. Connect to
Microsoft Exchange to store captured data or send
email alerts to
administrators. |
IDEA
Capture -back- |
 |
Capture is designed as an
entry level image capture only product with a
single point of entry, the scanner and a single
point of export, the IDX file. Capture
provides only one Agent that has access to only
TWAIN scanner drivers and the ability to enhance
image quality at scan time. Data is
stored in an ASCII fixed length file
(PowerScan's standard IDX
file.) |
IDEA Capture Plus
-back- |
 |
Capture Plus includes
everything in Capture and adds the
following.
Access to PowerScan's proven scanner
driver technology, access to Microsoft's Windows
Script Technologies and database storage of
capture data. Capture
Plus includes two Agents, the first for
scanning, and the second for export. Export
scripts are written in standard VBScript or
Jscript and can be customized to meet specific
requirements. Capture
Plus also includes batch queuing capabilities
enabling the user to automatically export queued
batches. |
IDEA
Desktop -back- |
 |
Desktop adds several new
functions to the system. First it
includes all available Engines: Scan, Cleanup,
OCR, Print, Script, Endorse, and Barcode. Second
it give the end user the ability to mix and
match these engines and create their own
Agents.
This is achieved simply in the
Administration tool with a point and click. For
example, users can create OCR Agents for zones,
or OCR Agents for full test, or even combine
Engines to more complex processing like OCRing a
value that is used to do a database look
up.
As with Capture Plus , Desktop provides
automatic batch queuing allowing the end user to
queue up many batches and then processes them
all in an automatic
fashion. |
IDEA
Enterprise -back- |
 |
Enterprise
Server introduces full automation and multi-user
capabilities.
With an Enterprise Server, customers can
connect multiple users to one IDEA system
and increase over all throughput.
In addition, batches flow through an
Enterprise system in a fully automatic
manner.
This means that interactive Agents, such
as Indexing, the user selects Run and the next
available batch is automatically loaded.
For fully automatic Agents, such as OCR,
when Run is selected the Agent will continually
process batches until the user select stop.
A well-configured system can be dispersed
through out the enterprise providing true
enterprise wide capture and processing
capabilities.
In addition to enterprise wide
connectivity, Enterprise Sever adds a second
method for customization.
End Users or VARS can use the COM
interface of an Engine and create their own
engines for specific processing
needs. | |
PowerScan
-back- |
Features: |
PowerScan is a software package that
controls and enhances the performance of
production scanners. It is delivered as a
complete, ready-to-use program that reflects
PowerScan's over six years of experience with
high-volume scanning applications.
Originally developed to
support an urgent requirement for Operation Desert
Storm, PowerScan is a tested, mature product, that
offers powerful and flexible capabilities in
high-volume scanning environments. PowerScan is
widely implemented, and has proven to be one of
the most popular high-volume scanning applications
in the imaging industry. PowerScan supports
production batch scanning operations and includes
the robust features required to reliably and
efficiently scan tens of thousands of pages per
day. |

StageWorks
-back- |
Features: |
StageWorks software manages the
batch oriented processing and formatting of large
volumes of digitized images and associated text
and/or index data. It is effectively a pipeline of
processes, or "stages" that convert raw digital
image files into clean processed files of three
types: images, text and index information. In
short, StageWorks is process
control.
StageWorks Systems:
- StageWorks Office is
designed for desktop or departmental level image
processing requirements.
- StageWorks
Industrial has been engineered for the most
demanding multi-processing document imaging
environments.
All versions of
StageWorks run on Windows 3.1X, Windows 95, and
Windows NT. |
