Document imaging software
|
 |
|
Document imaging software are efficient and effective, but expensive if
you buy the wrong software. A document imaging software that requires a team of
programmers to write changes into the software before the software is installed
is unaffordable. In addition, document imaging software should not need a full time
programmer to tweak the software every time someone wants a different report printed.
|
What is a Document Imaging software?
|
|
-the simplest
definition is:
A software in which documents are input via document
scanners, or indexed -based on a unique value or set of values, and input into a database to
be made available across a network for access by a group of users.
|
|
Variables include: who has access to those documents, what
values are indexed, when the documents are imaged, where the
imaged documents are stored, why the document is in the software and how
the document gets into the software.

As a service bureau
which scans, indexes and inputs data in a document imaging system, we have seen
examples of other software where thousands of dollars were spent on programming to
adapt the software to the customer needs, after the company have purchased the 'complete'
software package. Don't be fooled into buying software that "can be programmed to fit
your company's requirements". The PaperTrack document imaging software can be
point-and-click configured by your system administrator to do the tasks
you need to do. No calling outside programmers, no need for internal programmers, just
point and click configuration. |
|
Cost of ownership is an important part of any document
imaging system. PaperTrack Software's document imaging system has a very low
cost of ownership.

Document Imaging Software Will I outgrow it??
|
This is not a simple document imaging software like the number
one brand,
if you want to, start out with theirs, you'll spend about $50,000 more. |
| Then you'll outgrow it and
want something new in a year or two. Except theirs can't grow, you can't add
modules seamlessly. You'll have to start with a new software
module, or you'll get a new programmer in to write even more proprietary
code. Even worse, you may have to add another server to run additional
modules. Just want the IS manager wants, another server to baby-sit for
one module.
You may even have to incur "conversion
fees" to export your data out of a proprietary system/format.
Conversion fees can run anywhere from $.05 to $.15 an image. A
half million record system may cost $50,000 or more to convert!
Avoid that by buying a system that stores documents in their native
format, like PaperTrack.
