Hands on: eCopy ShareScan Suite

The latest version of Nuance's package helps organizations track and store scanned data.

Despite e-mail and access to shared databases, the daily tidal waves of paper that businesses have to deal with have not subsided. From purchase orders to contracts, correspondence to catalogs, the average office has stacks of paper full of information to manage and maintain.

While large enterprises have full-time staffers to operate monster machines that digest the contents of reams of paper and place it on company networks, many companies rely on department multifunction printers (MFP) that handle copying and printing tasks for networked users. About the size of a Smart car, these powerhouses can scan pages so that their contents can be saved as electronic data. To take full advantage of this capability, however, you need dedicated software that can simplify and automate the operations. And that's where eCopy ShareScan Suite v5 comes into play.

eCopy ShareScan lets you track all scanning activities by user or by device, either for security or cost-recovery reasons.
