ColumbiaSoft Integrates eCopy ShareScan OP with Document Locator to Provide Intuitive and Affordable Document Imaging and Distribution Directly to Digital Document Management

Connector Announced at the eCopy Paper Connection Forum

Miami, Florida, eCopy Paper Connection Forum, April 5, 2005 –ColumbiaSoft Corporation announced today that it is shipping the eCopy ShareScan OP v3.0 Connector for ColumbiaSoft Document Locator®. The new software product integrates Document Locator with eCopy ShareScan OP to help organizations dramatically reduce the costs of storing and finding paper documents, increase information worker productivity, and comply with regulatory requirements.

The Connector presents the Document Locator user interface directly on a digital copier console, enabling workers to send scanned documents to the Document Locator repository and greatly simplifying the rapid and secure capture of paper records. Supported digital copiers include Canon, HP, Océ, Ricoh, Sharp, and Toshiba.

“For paper-intensive business such as architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC), accounting and finance, healthcare, insurance, legal, real estate, and the public sector, document imaging and distribution is critical to competing effectively and complying with regulations,” said Carl Azar, director of marketing with ColumbiaSoft Corporation. “With this connection, our customers benefit from a highly intuitive eCopy interface on their digital copier integrated to our comprehensive document management solution.”

In addition to capturing paper documents, Document Locator also captures, manages, and shares electronic documents, email and attachments, and faxes in a secure repository. Any document – including a scanned document – can be found instantly by searching for user-assigned properties and key words in full text. With full functionality and deep integration into the Microsoft environment, Document Locator serves as the foundation for business efficiency and compliance efforts.

“In addition to increasing competitive pressures, organizations now are facing an increase in government compliance requirements such as HIPAA and Sarbanes-Oxley,” said Noel O’Dwyer, eCopy director of strategic alliances. “As firms face the need to incorporate paper documents into their electronic document workflow for efficiency and compliance initiatives, eCopy delivers open access to document capture directly from their digital copiers. Document Locator perfectly complements eCopy for a combined solution that is affordable for any organization.”
