eCopy IncCompany BackgroundValue Added Reseller of eCopy Inc's Software Solutions COMPANY BACKGROUND The Business Challenge Too often, organizations have two work processes tackling the same business task - one electronic workflow moving at Internet speed trailed by a paper-bound process that slows everything down. This approach impedes instant access to information and frequently results in misplaced information. Today, faxes and overnight couriers just are not good enough, or fast enough. A fax simply cannot deliver clear, original-quality pages; and despite heavy usage, overnight delivery slows down business processes too much to be effective. About eCopy eCopy products support individual, workgroup and enterprise needs while extending the use of office multifunction peripherals (MFPs) and scanners and leveraging investments in network infrastructure. A consistent, easy-to-use process enables anyone in an organization to transform paper-based information into secure digital files that easily integrate with electronic workflows, facilitate user collaboration, and protect business continuity. Partnerships with leading MFP and scanner providers and collaboration with independent software vendors enable eCopy software to present an intuitive interface across a range of capture devices to directly connect document scanning with essential business applications and consolidate paper and electronic workflows into a single process. Since 1992, thousands of organizations have profited from productivity gains enabled by eCopy's ability to bridge the gap between paper and digital documents. eCopy Solutions eCopy answers any organization's need to distribute, view, and manage paper documents by scanning them into electronic format and integrating with the applications that run and support the business. No more trudging back to the workstation to fill out labels, stuff envelopes, and rush to meet the 6 p.m. pick-up. No more waiting in line at the fax machine or checking for the overnight delivery truck. No more re-entry of paper-based information into enterprise content management systems so that work teams can have instant electronic access to critical information. No more rifling through office space consuming file cabinets to find dog eared photo copies. Simply scan a paper document - any contract, fax, multi-page form, diagram, or even a 50-page manual - select the recipient, add a subject line and cover note, and transmit the electronic copy over the corporate network or the Internet, directly from the MFP. Send an electronic copy around the world, to a colleague on the next floor, into a Web-enabled content management system, or back to the desktop for annotation, storage, and re-distribution. eCopy Products eCopy ShareScan® - Document imaging solutions for the workgroup and the enterprise The eCopy ShareScan family of products includes ShareScan Essentials, ShareScan Suite, and ShareScan Suite for scanners.
