Breakthrough Software Improves, Automates Image Capture

Move to Paperless Made Easier…Image API announces a comprehensive set of new software modules designed to improve and automate the capture, identification, and use of digital documents and data in everyday government and business operations. The software suite also introduces exciting new technology for recognizing forms, data on forms, blank pages, and specific form pages with stunning accuracy.

The Software Suite modules are .NET tools that can be implemented entirely to improve all facets of document conversion services or strategically to improve specific components of a paperless operation. The modules provide electronic file/folder/box tracking, high volume scanning performance, manual data entry and automated indexing, quality control, image enhancement, and file output.

The scanning module also reports important measurement data on scan operators, date and time, batch, location, client, document description, and ANSI targets. The data provides valuable information for management purposes and for meeting standards for legal scanning of documents.

The iBrokertm module represents breakthrough technology in process improvement. The module identifies and classifies document types and eliminates the expensive manual work of culling, sorting, or inserting separator sheets. When coupled with the data extraction tools, the suite of software capture module delivers greater speed and accuracy in capturing data from unstructured documents and storing the information in more usable forms.

Cost Cutting Realities

Cost cutting is the “new reality” for the public sector.

  • This is the year in which real cuts in staff and services are becoming a reality
  • No significant turnaround expected for at least two years
  • Citizens are in greater need themselves; therefore the strain on government staff (increases in applications for government help, greater errors on forms, etc.) is increasing rather than decreasing.
  • Fewer staff members remain to handle the higher volumes of work
  • “Surviving” staff members are the less experienced since the most senior staff—the “senior knowledge workers” are retiring
  • Delays and errors can be expected due to the knowledge void

Services need to be more productive, cost effective, and flexible in order to react quickly to changing events. While tighter budgets make it more difficult to improve government services, viable options do exist in the areas of automation, better enterprise content management, and outsourced business processing services.
