‘Scan-to-Process’ explained; plus COMPETITION to Win Fujitsu ScanSnap S1100 portable document scanner worth £185!

PFU Fujitsu are thought leaders for the growing concept of ‘Scan-Process’ which is revolutionising document management. The concept of ‘Scan-to-Process’ is a logical step for any business that wants more quality, greater efficiency and faster, better business processes – whether a one person operation or a global corporation. The earlier and the more seamlessly paper-based information is integrated into the digital process chain, the greater the potential for creating business value. The Fujitsu ScanSnap S1100 is the ideal product for business to begin integrating Scan-to-Process into their business processes.

The ScanSnap S1100 document scanner pushes the limits of size for extreme portability while delivering smooth A4 document scanning. All you need is your laptop and one USB cable to scan and share your documents anywhere, anytime.

‘Scan-to-Process’

A look at the day-to-day operations of many companies reveals that most of them are still hesitant about integrating scanners into their digital processes.  A study by the AIIM organisation revealed that only 16 percent of businesses scan and extract data to a process, whereas 66 percent of the interviewed companies have established a formal scan-to-archive process.

Businesses adapting to Scan-to Process will be able to render their processes more efficiently, and also archiving their scanned documents as a single step. The concept is simple: it’s a matter of digitising analogue paper-based information fast and easily, at the touch of a button, thus integrating it smoothly and at an early stage into the business processes for leveraging business value.

PFU Fujitsu’s market leading range of awarding winning scanners gives businesses the chance to adopt these concepts and move their processes forward in the twenty-first century; tackling the uncertainty around Scan-to-Process.

Klaus Schulz, Product Marketing Manager at PFU Imaging Solutions Europe, says “Many users view integrating scanners into their digital processes with apprehension because it means they are going to have to re-examine every single business process. That scares off a lot of people. The fact is though, that it is quite easy to start with optimizing isolated processes and integrating analogue media into digital routines.”

Klaus continues, “Gone are the days of straight manufacturing. Successful providers have evolved into ‘solutions catalysts’.” PFU Fujitsu Imaging Solutions are currently the only globally active scanner company that focuses 100% on document scanners.

Fujitsu scanners come equipped with character-recognition software (Abbyy FineReader), making it possible to convert documents into searchable PDFs. The ScanSnap family can even convert documents into editable Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files.
