Document Strategy Podcast with Host Kevin Craine
Episode #10 - July 2008 - Distributed Capture
In this episode we will explore the topic of distributed capture and examine the findings of the 2009 Distributed Capture User Survey which provides current data regarding the evaluation and adoption of distributed capture technologies.
Since the introduction of Internet-based Distributed Capture a several years ago, more and more organizations are finding value in scanning documents at the point of origination instead of shipping documents to a central scanning center. But just how prevalent has distributed capture become? What are factors leading organizations to adopt distributed capture? What are the returns that organizations have been able to measure? These are just some of the questions that we posed to users and professionals in the 2009 Distributed Capture survey.
For organizations with a multitude of paper documents being generated in multiple locations, moving scanning and indexing functions to the point of origin saves on mail and courier expense, speeds data input, and expedites the processing of critical business documents. Indeed, as companies become more widely dispersed with regional offices, remote employees, and geographically distant customers, Distributed Capture surfaces as an important tool to enable a document strategy that will ease and facilitate the processing of mission critical information.
This episode contains excerpts from a webinar hosted last month (June 2009) sponsored by Canon and Datacap where I explore the findings of the 2009 distributed capture survey report, summarize user feedback about their experience with the technology, and discuss the important trends and opportunities that we uncovered in the findings.
