Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada; FileHold Systems
Inc, www.filehold.com a developer of advanced document and record management
software announced it has released the FileScan Bridge which adds automated
document tagging and filing of scanned documents into its powerful,
secure document management repository.
Document scanners have become less expensive and are pervasive; appearing
on company desktops and networks. Business and Government want to convert
paper documents into electronic form and store them in a secure location
where they can easily be found at a later date. When documents are stored
electronically costs are reduced through the reduction of storage and
filing costs and the elimination of duplicate content. Without the means
to securely store, manage and search for scanned documents the benefits
of scanning will not be fully realized.
Larry Oliver, President of FileHold said “the process of scanning,
classifying (tagging) and filing paper documents for easy recovery can
be a labor intensive and time consuming process. In the past this work
was often contracted out or performed by specialized scan operators
or consultants. FileHold has made all of this easy with a single process
that converts paper documents to electronic ones and automatically classifies
(or tags) the document with metadata for future retrieval. These electronic
documents are than filed to the appropriate location in the secure FileHold
library. The end result is that scanned documents can be found and put
to use quickly and easily by all employees in a company”
VP of Product for FileHold Systems, Ian Booth, said “the FileScan
Bridge was created in response to our prospective customers who wanted
a fully automated, cost effective end-to-end method of scanning, tagging,
filing and retrieving paper documents.” Many companies are scanning
similar types of documents such as mortgage agreements or financial
service contracts. By combining FileScan Bridge with low cost scanning
software such as Captiva Quick Scan Pro customers get a total off-the-shelf
solution. The FileScan Bridge can be configured to recognize the type
of document being scanned and to capture the important metadata (tags)
for each document. FileScan Bridge then uses the tags associated with
the document to automatically file the document in an appropriate folder
in the repository. The FileScan Bridge ships complete with training
videos and documentation that will enable customers to install and configure
it without outside help. The FileScan Bridge is included as a core feature
of FileHold’07.2 document management software. FileHold software
has a price point that fits medium sized business or can serve as a
departmental solution.
FileHold Systems is a privately owned company that was formed for the
purpose of developing and marketing FileHold software. FileHold is a
modern Microsoft based document and record management software solution
that incorporates powerful, but easy to use, interfaces with bulletproof
security and document storage capabilities. FileHold empowers the workers
of mid sized businesses, departments of large companies and various
levels of Government to create share and collaborate electronically
on all of their important documents while maintaining tight version
control and managed workflow.
