If you already operate a high-volume service bureau, chances are you use
software like Kofax Capture to scan and index documents for your
clients. If you do then you are well aware of the high cost of
click charges and the inevitable mad rushes to purchase additional
clicks at the end of a peak volume month.
There are some scanning jobs that need the multi-user batching and
indexing features of these systems, but many do not. SimpleIndex®
can help you save big on click charges by supplementing your primary
scanning infrastructure, letting you perform smaller, less complex jobs
in a separate workflow.
Jobs like these can be easily processed with SimpleIndex:
- Simple scan-to-file with no indexing
- All indexing is done via barcodes or database lookup
- No custom export format is required
The following scenarios usually require a more robust solution:
- Multiple users manually indexing documents
- Double-key verification
- High-volume OCR with manual verification
- Export to specific application or custom script
Basically, SimpleIndex is great for 1-2 user workflows where a single
user performs the whole scanning and indexing process, or where one
person scans and another indexes on a separate workstation. When
more than 2 users are required to keep up with indexing volume then it
makes more sense to use a system designed for multiple users.
