The application integration module lets you add metadata when you’re scanning
documents. At the simplest level, this data could just be a record of your name and
the subject matter: as a fax cover sheet, for example. But that’s just one option.
More sophisticated applications could include adding a description of a scanned
image or a project reference which can be used by the remote application. And if
you use a document management or workflow system that can interpret XML
attribute data, AIM will let you scan documents directly to the correct destination
in a single operation.
Ideal for
Any organisation that wants to add data to scanned documents in a single operation
for more efficient faxing and filing.
Application example
Anyone who has to collate, manage and process information from a variety of sources
will be able to work more quickly and with greater accuracy with the Application
Integration Module. A project manager, for example, can scan a variety of documents
that relate to a given project, add the relevant metadata and distribute them to a
particular folder in a single operation. It keeps everything in one place ready for
instant retrieval.
