While Microsoft Office SharePoint has been around since 2001, the basic formula for scanning documents into SharePoint has been largely the same for the past 30 years. The document capture experience for SharePoint (as well as other Content Services Platform and ECM solutions) have been primarily driven by PCs and/or MFDs (Multi-Function Devices), tethered connections, software drivers such as TWAIN or ISIS, Thick Client Application Software Installations, Ongoing Patching and Hotfixes, Virus/Malware/Ransomware installation, Training Services for End Users and IT and Network/OS configuration processes conducted by your IT department. The archaic formula is needlessly complex, introduces many points of failure into the process, and is largely expensive. If you are looking for a Fast, Easy, and Economical way to scan and capture your paper-based documents into Microsoft Office 365 SharePoint – then look no further, you are in the right place! Introducing IoT Smart Connected Scanning powered by CAPSYS CAPTURE ONLINE . IoT Smart Connected Scanning powered by CAPSYS CAPTURE ONLINE completely shatters the antiquated 30-year-old formula and has revolutionized the way paper-based documents are captured. Let's dive into the Top-10 reasons on how IoT Smart Connected is revolutionizing the Microsoft Office SharePoint marketplace! An Installation and Deployment process unmatched in the Industry From unboxing the equipment, performing light assembly, powering up, and scanning your custom configured QR code – the entire experience can be completed in just under 5 minutes by non-technical users. No previous MFP or document scanning solution has ever been able to accomplish such a feat. Once that simple installation and deployment process has been completed, you are fully operational! It should be, after all, it's IoT aware, and it's SMART! Archaic and alternative document capture solutions require PCs, application software, software drivers, installation and configuration, anti-malware, anti-virus, anti-ransomware, patching, hotfixes, IT involvement, and ongoing support services. Ease of Use If the 5 minute or less installation and deployment process wasn’t enough to demonstrate simplicity, then how does the end-user experience stack up when interacting with the IoT Smart Connected Appliance? Well, during that 5 minute or less experience, CAPSYS CAPTURE ONLINE behind the scenes already provisioned your SharePoint Document Capture application portfolio on each of your IoT SMART appliances. In other words, we have already delivered an easy-to-use “Single push-button interface” that allows your end-users to begin capturing documents and delivering them to your key line of business applications such as: Accounts Payable/ERP System Human Resources/HRIS system Sales Order Processing Patient OnBoarding Insurance Underwriting Loan Processing And many more! IoT Smart Connected Scanning appliances can even perform outbound faxing services using Retarus’ Global Cloud Fax and Messaging Services . The benefit of our integration with Retarus is now you have a single device that can SCAN and FAX your documents out using a premier cloud-based faxing, SMS, and E-Mail solution provider. Near Realtime Operator Feedback Have you ever experienced after you scanned your documents with your MFP/MFD or tethered PC-based scanning application that your documents never arrived where you expected them to go? Worse yet, you didn’t come to that realization until hours, days or weeks later? With IoT Smart Connected Scanning that won’t happen and here’s why. Unique to the IoT Smart Connected Scanning platform is what we term, “positive user confirmation” capabilities. With IoT Smart Connected Scanning for SharePoint , we can determine - based on your business rules - what makes up an acceptable document submission. For example, if your batch submission requires signatures to be present on documents, or a specific set of document types MUST BE contained in the batch scanning process, we have the ability to detect the existence of those requirements in near real-time. Further, we communicate a meaningful message back on the IoT Smart Connected Appliance user such as an “Accepted” or “Rejected” status. To serve as another example, we can check that a required signature or required document type is missing from the batch. We can even tell you which document type is missing. And, we do all this before the user ever leaves the IoT Smart appliance! Patented Perfect Page Perfect Page - from Kodak Alaris - technology produces superior image quality that is as good or better than the original. The patented image science technology is using “System on a Chip” architecture that is embedded in the firmware of every IoT Smart Connected Scanning appliance. That means no third-party document scanning software applications or third-party licensed image enhancement technology such as VRS, or end-user configuration processes are required. The end result is pristine image quality, images that are ideal for OCR applications all while delivering compact image file sizes that have been optimized for Cloud storage. Nobody else in the industry, no MFP/MFD manufacturer has the Perfect Page enhancement technology. Visit https://www.idt-inc.com/faqs/ and download and read a Perfect Page brochure and watch a quick demonstration to learn more. Blazing Fast, Small Footprint and Superior Paper Handling With IoT Smart Connected Scanning for Microsoft Office 365 SharePoint , you get the ability to capture paper documents of varying weights, shapes, and sizes, simplex, duplex, black and white, color, with a number of different file format options including popular PDF and TIF formats. And, it is fast…. up to 80 pages per minute. Massively Impressive Cost Savings By as much as 40-65%. Yes, you heard that correctly. Why? Because we have eliminated all of the extra IT Tower of Babel layers that needlessly drive the costs upward. The IT Tower of Babel refers to all the layers in between your paper and your business process - PCs, document scanning application software licenses, annual software maintenance, on-premises based installation services, IT ongoing support costs, etc. When you have multiple locations, multiple decentralized capture locations, the cost differential becomes strikingly massive. Remotely Managed Once your custom QR code completes the licensing and provisioning process, your fleet of IoT Smart Connected Scanning appliances for Microsoft 365 SharePoint is fully managed remotely via the Cloud. Application changes to a single IoT Smart Connected appliance or the entire fleet of appliances are made remotely thereafter. Purpose-Built with Security and Chain of Custody in Mind IoT Smart Connected Scanning powered by CAPSYS CAPTURE ONLINE provides optional support for RFID authentication technology using industry standards such as SAML, Active Directory, LDAP, Ping Federate, or other authentication methods. RFID security connects the user to the documents being scanned. The time, place, device, person, and documents are all linked using metadata and all those attributes are carried through the entire capture process. Built into each and every IoT Smart Connected Scanning appliance powered by CAPSYS CAPTURE ONLINE is a unique, dual-channel architecture. The remote management of the IoT Smart appliance is performed on a separate distinct channel from which the documents are being captured upon. Each channel is encrypted at REST and while in transit. This unique, dual-channel architecture provides the kind of security needed to meet the most stringent requirements in today’s Edge Computing environments. A tethered-based scanning solution or even an MFP simply can’t do this. Malware, Virus and Ransomware Resilient PCs and application software are vulnerable to outside threats. PC-driven applications can leak sensitive and proprietary data outside of an organization – intentionally or unintentionally. PC-based, tether-driven scanning application software solutions must be provisioned with a security suite, patched, and monitored not only initially but on an ongoing basis. And, remember the risk and expense to do this for any organization increases by the number of decentralized locations and as well as the number of PC-based tether-driven scanning solutions deployed. IoT Smart Connected Scanning appliances are virus, malware, and ransomware resilient.  Managed Capture as a Service by CAPSYS CAPTURE ONLINE. What makes IoT Smart Connected Scanning the ideal document capture platform for Microsoft 365 SharePoint is it is all powered by CAPSYS CAPTURE ONLINE – a complete Managed Capture as a Service solution provisioned in Microsoft Azure Datacenters – both Commercial and Government Editions. Whether you need to innovative document capture at the End Points of your Business Process using IoT Smart Capture devices, decentralized capture using traditional tethered based devices, centralized capture using 200 pages per minute devices, email ingestion with attachments, or even automated fax capture – CAPSYS Technologies has the ideal Cloud solution for your organization.

I. Situation: The Nightmare That Is Shared Email Whether your organization is— Public, private, a government agency, or a not-for-profit entity In the healthcare, insurance or higher education marketplace A manufacturer, distributor, operate in the logistics field, or a very large Global 2000 company Or a small to mid-sized organization You are likely feeling the pain and bad daytime dreams that accompany Shared Email Box use within your organization. There is an influx of emails that arrive at your organization addressed to a mix of real-recipient and alias-recipient inboxes. Addresses such as AccountsPayable@xyz.com, salesorders@xyz.com, claimsadjudication@xyz.com, info@xyz.com or customerservice@xyz.gov or .org. There is no real identifiable “person” assigned to the other side of these mailboxes—at least from the sender’s perspective. Internally, on the receiving side, you do have at least one person, sometimes an entire “SWAT” team accessing these real and aliased email addresses—known as the “Shared Email Boxes.” Unfortunately, this often creates a free-for-all approach in terms of who works inbound emails and how they are handled. It’s a process that could use improvement, but it’s difficult to know where to begin. Team members are responsible for identifying which items belong to whom, working the item to its completion, and then moving that “finished” item out of the inbox into a Shared Email Box subfolder, to differentiate email items that are unread, inflight, or email items that have actually been completed. We know the process of accessing a Shared Email Box is all manual—an ad-hoc, people-driven approach (prone to error) to working the items in the Shared Email Box, and there is no genuine accountability. You may even have gotten a bit clever and... Download and Read the full post at: https://bit.ly/3ykXDx9
