Captovation Releases SOX Compliant Document Capture Software

(Dec 03, 2007)-- Captovation, a developer of document capture software, announced the release of Captovation Capture 5.2. This version includes new features and functionality added to multiple Captovation Capture modules. Highlighting the release are significant product enhancements developed for Captovation’s award-winning, browser-based capture software, Captovation Web Capture.

Captovation Web Capture consists of a server and a client that runs within a web browser. Remote users connect to the Web Capture server using a browser, which initiates the Web Capture client (initially downloaded as an ActiveX component). After login, the Web Capture client is used to scan and index documents using either TWAIN-compliant desktop scanners or multifunction devices (MFDs). When document capture is completed, remote users send the document images and associated metadata over the Internet to the Web Capture server, which typically archives the images and data into an electronic document management system.

Over the last few years, more and more organizations have adopted a distributed document capture system. The increased adoption rate has been sparked by the availability of low-cost desktop scanners, high-speed internet connectivity, as well as regulatory changes and compliance initiatives, including Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). Organizations have turned to distributed document capture systems as a means to capture their documents at the earliest point where paper enters the workplace. Doing so provides the benefits of reduced cycle-times, improved customer service, centralized control and management of all paper assets, increased document information sharing and collaboration, and the elimination of document shipping costs.

Web Capture is being used by both small and large organizations representing the majority of the vertical markets. More recently, Web Capture has been deployed on a much larger scale with installations exceeding one hundred users and capture points spanning several continents.
