Scanning with DocuNECT Desktop Capture

	Portford has always maintained that DocuNECT is a solution for capturing electronic documents and therefore we have opted not provide the functionality of actually driving the scanner with our Desktop Capture application. Instead we opted to integrate the Desktop Capture application with software that is already provided by the scanner manufacturers which has significantly improved. This makes DocuNECT's Desktop Capture an affordable and easily deployable solution for distributed capture, whether you are using a desktop scanner, or a network based scanner or scanner/copier.
In order to demonstrate this we have produced two movies that show both the desktop and network scanning scenarios.
Desktop Scanning
DocuNECT is designed to easily integrate with a number of desktop scanning software applications that you can either download from the internet or are provide with your scanner. The following movie shows how DocuNECT's Desktop Capture works seamlessly with ScanSnap Manager with drives the following scanners from Fujitsu.
Network Scanning
The following movie shows how to use DocuNECT with a network scanner. As long as the network scanner can send the scanned image to a file location, FTP site or send it via email then the following scenario will work.

Documentum D2 - EMC's next generation interface

EMC have released their new interface called D2, which essentially is long-term strategic replacement to the current WebTop technology and provides the user with a Web 2.0 experience. One major advantage of D2 is the ease of configuration. Although Documentum is an extremely powerful platform, developing applications has been down to technical consultants with Java or web services experience. D2 brings a number of common pieces of functionality into the realm of "point and click" configuration.

Cloud Storage and Document Management

The world of document management is made a little more confusing with the advent of the new cloud storage services that have sprung up. There are a number of online cloud storage services including Dropbox, Box.com, and iCloud among others. The strength of these solutions is in their simplicity as they are easy to download install on multiple devices.

They are, however, solutions for sharing files and do not have some of the deeper document management functionality that helps maintain security and compliance.

DocuNECT blends these two worlds by easily integrating its powerful document management features with these services. For example, our Dropbox integration allows documents to be easily copied to your cloud storage environment, and then synchs the documents once there to make sure any updates are versioned back into the repository.
