Document Scan Server
Document Scan Server
Capturing documents at the point of entry in a workflow - often referred to as distributed capture - is powerful. But what kind of technology will allow you to do this in a way that adapts to your existing business processes yet still fits in seamlessly with your existing IT environment? The answer is Document Scan Server.
Document Scan Server (DSS) enables organisations to improve business performance by scanning documents at the point of entry into a workflow. DSS is an integrated software/hardware solution that provides flexible tools to scan-enable third-party applications, secure scanner connectivity options, and centralized management capabilities to reduce the cost and complexity of capture deployments.
Kofax Document Scan Server makes deploying distributed capture simple. No software to install in remote locations and centralised management of the system means deployment and ongoing maintenance is a snap. And with flexible tools to 'scan enable' third-party software applications. Document Scan Server allows to incorporate document capture into existing business processes with the same software that you use today.
Organisations need Document Scan Server if they:
- Are unwilling to disrupt their existing IT infrastructure, or have security policies that are in conflict with traditional PC-based scan stations
- Require centralised management capabilities to set up and maintain scanners in remote locations
- Are searching for a simplified, cost-effective means to add scanning capability at any location where paper and electronic documents enter the organisation
