RE: document management systems and scanning

[John Harvey <jharvey@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Greetings,

You may also want to take a look at our Electronic Document Distribution
(EDD) solutions at:

If you regularly deal with documents as long as 20-30 pages then you may be
particularly interested in our Formatter product:
http://www.quadrantsoftware.com/solution/forms/formatter.htm
This product can help you reduce those document page counts by 50-75% while
increasing readability.

Contact me offline if you'd like more information or a demo.

Cheers,

Our AP department is unhappy with the company we've contracted to scan
invoices and serve them on the web, and we're looking at document
management systems to bring it in house.   We process several thousand
invoices a week, many of them are more than 1 page long, some are as many
as 20 or 30 pages long.

I'm interested in opinions, good and bad, from others who've done this,
specifically:

Which packages you've used, how easy they are to administer and use, any
problems you've encountered.  One of the packages that the accountants are
hot about is Hyland's On Base.  Has anyone used them?

I'm also interested in the process - what scanners do you use, how much
time does scanning an invoice add to the voucher entry process.

Does your imaging software work with Client access?, Some packages claim
they can scrape data off the green screen (based on screen position) at
voucher entry when the document is being scanned so that the image is named
and cataloged without having to re-key data. If your system provides
similar functionality, how well does that work?
