Ascent Capture Internet Server

Ascent Capture Internet Server (ACIS) enables organizations to transfer documents and data captured at branch offices to a central Ascent Capture installation via a corporate network or the Internet. By embracing distributed capture, organizations can react more quickly to incoming information, reduce costs, enhance security and improve productivity versus paper- or CD-based processes.

Organizations need ACIS if they:

• Have numerous branch offices which regularly ship paper documents, forms or CDs to headquarters.

• Want to kick start business processes as soon as documents are scanned at branch offices, rather than wait for them to arrive at a central site.

• Seek to reduce or eliminate the cost, delay and security issues involved in shipping paper documents, forms or CDs to a central scan or data entry site for processing.

• Equip branch offices with inexpensive Ascent Capture remote licenses, and enable them to do their own document scanning.

• Get documents and data into a workflow faster, accelerating the flow of information throughout an organization.

• Stop scrambling daily to meet deadlines for shipping documents to headquarters, and reduce or eliminate the cost and delays these shipments incur.

• Put the power of document imaging into the hands of branch offices, but continue to maintain control from a central site.

• Institute tighter security, as sensitive paper documents or CDs no longer need be shipped outside the office and handled by non-employees (e.g., couriers).

• Route single documents or batches to multiple locations before transfer to headquarters.

• System-wide synchronization. Configuration changes made at headquarters automatically download at all branch offices.

• Central site controls the amount and type of processing scanned documents undergo at branch offices, and the timing of data transfer to headquarters (e.g., real-time or in batches when network traffic is low).

• Routing/workflow capabilities.

• Quick ROI with reduction or elimination of overnight shipping charges.

VirtualReScan (VRS)

• Scan particularly challenging documents, such as those printed on dense background patterns or security paper, recycled paper, wrinkled paper, dirty paper or thermal paper.

• Spend too much time manually preparing documents before scanning by sorting them into color and black & white batches, orientating them in one direction, removing blank pages, and inserting separator pages.

• Dispose of paper documents immediately after scanning and, to maintain compliance with government and industry regulations, demand assurance the digital representations they rely upon as their replacement are legible.

• Reduce manual document scanning steps to removing staples and paper clips, stacking paper in feeder tray, and hitting the SCAN button.

• Mix color and black & white documents in the same batch. Convert on the fly from black & white to color (or vice versa), without the need to adjust scanner settings, or use separator sheets or patch codes.

• Advanced Clarity makes even “unreadable” images legible.

• Automatic image orientation adjusts skewed images, even completely rotating upside down ones, so all captured images are oriented in the same direction.

• Intelligently determines if a page is blank and can be eliminated from the workflow.

• Correctly identifies and retains color when it is integral to a document (e.g., logo, photo, date stamp) and eliminates it when it is not (e.g., colored paper stock).

• Removing image noise compacts file size, reducing network traffic and storage requirements.

• Scanner Configuration Utility simplifies scanner set-up and selection.
