SimpleIndex is a great front-end for any Records Management solution since it automates the capture of index fields and metadata from all types of documents and uses it to file them automatically.

SimpleIndex Scan To Database is designed to streamline the single-user scanning workflow employed by most desktop scanners. SimpleIndex lets you define the entire scanning process from beginning to end, then execute the steps in that workflow automatically. This minimizes user training and interruptions for input during the scanning process.

Open database integration is a powerful feature of SimpleIndex and one that furthers its interoperability with custom programs. Instead of using a proprietary database, SimpleIndex allows you to map its index fields to cells in any database table. It can be configured to create new records, update existing ones or retrieve them for viewing. Using these three basic database functions, SimpleIndex is able to interface with and operate on any database.

SimpleIndex offers export to XML files, as well as the SimpleExport module. It makes it possible to integrate with any third party database, application, or document management systems (DMS) that accepts an XML or text file import.

Simplendex features “Match and Attach” mode, which combines the power of the Autofill feature with the ability to update existing records in your database. This lets you “attach” images to existing database records by “matching” them with values from SimpleIndex.

We almost switched to Roman Numerals, it’s that big of a deal The most significant update in years, SimpleIndex 11 introduces major new features like handwriting recognition and email processing, while optimizing existing features to dramatically improve processing speeds for large batches and files.
