The Business World, More Electronic Data and More Paper

In today’s companies the amount of paper and documents related to the daily operation grow immensely by the minute. The costs associated with managing this sea of paper is enormous to the point that some studies show that employees waste over 70% of their time searching for, retrieving and distributing documents to their final destination, and less than 30% of their time is spent working with the actual document or data. Often paper documents are stored in such a way that they are not easily accessible or are difficult to find. If a paper document is found, copies need to be made and usually distributed by regular mail or fax, resulting in a waste of money and time.

ScanVision
provides the complete solution for handling document conversion (paper to digital or microfilm to digital) as well as managing all types of computer files such as spread sheets, word processing, emails, blueprints, etc.

Electronic Data:

On the other hand, there is the computer report distribution, i.e. -- who gets what report and when -- and – I want to see that report again – . To further complicate matters, companies now days have a mixture of computer systems and technological platforms, each with its own operating system and printing format, which results in a complex environment for managing the computer reports distribution. More often than not, if a particular computer report is required again, the System Administrator needs to do a backup/restore of the database and run the application to reproduce it, wasting valuable hours and resources. Also electronic documents are stored in such a way that they are not easily accessible or are difficult to find. And some times when they are finally found, the documents can't be viewed or printed because the application in which they were created no longer exists.

ReportVision
provides a complete Enterprise Report Management (ERM) solution, allowing your company to quickly and easily configure the system to capture computer generated information, and access it later at any time and from any computer in the LAN/WAN. ReportVision captures reports from any host, UNIX, NT, AS/400, Mainframe, etc. It will index these reports and publish them to end users in a regular and automatic way. So that the many people who needs access to the company’s information, internal or external, can have more efficient access and make better use of the knowledge within these documents.

Finally, FlowVision electronically routes documents through a configurable work process. It allows managers to control and modify work steps, while integrating information flow between applications within business processes. FlowVision electronically routes documents from ScanVision, ReportVision or Electronic Forms created from within FlowVision. FlowVision is a multilevel workflow system that allows a particular object to participate in workflows in different planes (production, customer service, accounting, etc.)
