Anacomp Leverages Legacy, Infrastructure and Alliances to Offer Hosted Information Capture Services
High-Value, Transaction-Oriented Solutions Help Customers Unlock the Maximum Value from Document-Centric Business Processes
2008 AIIM EXPOSITION & CONFERENCE, BOSTON CONVENTION AND EXHIBITION CENTER, BOSTON, MA, MARCH 4, 2008
- Anacomp® Inc., a leading business process solutions company, today
announced the availability of hosted enterprise information
capture services that leverage its core docHarbor® on-demand
business platform and document repository, its renowned
dedication to customer service, and alliances with leading
document capture software providers such as EMC®
Corporation, the world leader in information infrastructure
solutions, and Kofax®, a global leader of intelligent
capture and exchange solutions. The announcement comes at
the start of the 2008 AIIM International Exposition &
Conference, taking place this week at the Boston Convention
and Exhibition Center.
Owners of one of the world’s largest document repositories,
Anacomp has a rich legacy of transforming its customers’
paper documents and electronic data into content that is
delivered in various media – the Web, CDs, tape, microfilm,
microfiche, etc. – and used in support of active business
applications or for archival purposes. Through the
integration of EMC and Kofax solutions with its own
docHarbor platform, Anacomp is able to significantly extend
the benefits it offers its customers through higher value,
transaction-oriented document capture services that support
the day-forward capture of incoming documents. The services
enable users to greatly expand the benefit they derive from
their scanned documents, and unlock the maximum value from
their document-centric business processes.
"Offering hosted capture services leveraging our 40 years of
information processing experience, our robust online
repository and our partner capture portfolios represents a
natural evolution in meeting the needs of our customers and
expanding the value they obtain from our solutions,” said
Wayne Ford, Anacomp’s Senior Vice President of Marketing,
Channels, and Strategic Alliances. “Capture is a critical
enabler within our solutions stack, as it provides the
on-ramp to more advanced document-centric business process
services. On top of these enterprise information capture
services, we look forward to continuing the development of
our docHarbor on-demand business process platform to offer
application-specific capture software as a service (SaaS).”
Designed for rapid deployment and production capability,
Anacomp’s hosted capture services are available via a
web-browser and require minimal client personnel, and no
server installations, software downloads or additional
up-front capital expenditures. Offered services include
document preparation, scanning, indexing and conversion,
intelligent document recognition (IDR), advanced data
extraction, multiple retrieval options and data integration
and delivery into enterprise systems (e.g. ERP, ECM, A/P,
etc.) for day-forward processing or for archival purposes.
Anacomp’s capture solutions allow customers to significantly
accelerate their business processes, reduce operating costs,
increase information quality, improve customer service and
help enable regulatory compliance.
“Anacomp is designing its capture offerings to serve those
companies who desire the cost savings, faster
implementations and minimal IT involvement offered by hosted
on-demand services,” said Harvey Spencer, President of
Harvey Spencer Associates and a leading analyst of the
document capture and imaging spaces. “The electronic
document capture realm continues to grow at approximately
16% annually, and enterprise firms consider capture a
strategic application for managing the mission-critical,
incoming paper transactions and correspondence necessary for
running their businesses.”
Anacomp leverages its own technology and the world-class
document imaging, data extraction, and IDR technologies of
strategic alliance partners like Kofax, EMC and IBML, a
leading provider of intelligent scanning solutions. “These
advanced image and data capture technologies allow us to not
only rapidly ingest millions of documents a week in a
backfile application, but to efficiently extract the key
information from those documents that are driving critical,
day-forward business processes,” added Ford. “We can now
offer unique, value-added human resource and finance and
accounting capture solutions that complement the business
processing solutions we already offer in these realms. The
real value is in the data; not the document that carries
it.”
Anacomp leverages the world-class information infrastructure
of multiple robust, reliable and secure data centers to
provide document, data and business process management
services and solutions. The company captures and hosts
billions of documents while meeting the most stringent
security and availability requirements for its enterprise
and government customers across the globe. In addition, the
company offers renowned maintenance support and multi-vendor
services, which include call center support, onsite
maintenance, depot services, logistics, training and
micro-imaging resources.
