E-BizDocs improves productivity in large-format scanning
Service Bureau Eliminates Bottlenecks by Scanning Wide and Office Documents in the Same Workflow
Project Manager Chris reviews the process of scanning large-format documents.
Contex, the world’s leading developer of wide format scanning and imaging solutions, recently announces that Albany, NY-based E-BizDocs reports increased productivity when using Contex wide format scanners with KODAK Capture Pro Software. E-BizDocs, an electronic document management service provider, uses the combined solution to scan wide format drawings within the same workflow as office-sized documents. The Contex and Kodak solution uses the same interface for narrow and wide format scanners, which streamlines the document scanning process. As a result, E-BizDocs reduces multiple steps from its workflow and improves overall efficiency in its scanning services.
“Before installing the Contex SD4490 with KODAK Capture Pro Software, we handled wide format documents differently than office-sized documents,” comments Howard Gross, President of E-BizDocs. “The workflow required setting up additional workstations and forced us to compete for scanning resources. We had to turn away some business because these wide format projects caused difficulties in our standard scanning workflow.”
Today, we can scan technical drawings using our Contex scanner and Kodak’s Capture Pro Software with only minor changes to our workflow. And we can use the same resources we use to scan our customers’ office documents. This saves steps in our process and eliminates the need to notify the quality-assurance team about variances in the document sizes. It makes scanning wide format as easy as scanning standard office-sized documents.
Howard Gross, President – E-BizDocs
“Because of increased demand to share drawings electronically and to use ECM and cloud-based document storage, Contex is offering solutions that streamline the scanning process and allow users to become more efficient, regardless of the document size,” comments Phil Magenheim, President of Contex Americas. “The combined solution from Contex and Kodak gives users the tools to improve their scanning workflow and, in turn, become more productive.”
The Workflow
Customers provide E-BizDocs with volumes of documents to scan and archive; sizes can range from standard office-sized to large format sized documents. For example, a surveyor’s document may include a five-page, letter-size executive summary and a structural and landscape view of a property on large format paper. The document may also include letter-sized pages describing the components of a building, such as plumbing, electrical, and foundation. E-BizDocs scans the files using a combination of narrow format scanners from Kodak and Contex’s SD4490 wide format scanner, and the images are sorted and reassembled in Capture Pro Software.
The combined solution from Contex and Kodak makes it easy to merge and route documents, eliminating any chance for human error.
The Technologies
Contex’s wide format scanning solution for the EDM market features EMC Captiva ISIS drivers. Users can eliminate workflow processing bottlenecks with this industry-standard interface by scanning large format drawings, charts, maps, or other oversized documents directly into EDM/ECM systems and electronic capture software. The scanning solution makes it possible to manage large format documents within the same workflow process as letter- or legal-size documents, while achieving high-quality scans with document-specific presets.
Imaging Specialist Ben lines up the document to be scanned.
Contex scanners are the only wide format scanners certified by Kodak for use with Capture Pro Software. This software delivers full-featured document and batch capture applications for either standalone or network enterprise-wide environments. Capture Pro Software includes a simple but powerful post-scanning quality control tool that makes it easy to re-process images, even when the original source document is not available. This allows customers to increase the efficiency and accuracy of downstream data recognition processes and human image readability, helping to speed up important business processes.

CNG Integrates AdvisorVault
Adding to its already long list of supported software, CNG has announced that their popular document management software now supports AdvisorVault. With specific modules for QuickBooks (CNG-BOOKS) and Outlook (CNG-OUTLOOK), as well as support for any SQL, ODBC, or OLE database through Synchronizer, CNG is on top of the document management process.
“The integration with AdvisorVault makes sharing sensitive documents a breeze, but more importantly, it also helps advisors keep track of what documents a particular client has,” said Jon Clark, vice president of sales, CNG. “All an advisor needs to do is select the documents they want to share and click a button. The client automatically gets an email with a link that takes them to where they can see their documents. This streamlines processes and improves client service.”
If you would like to set up a demonstration of CNG, or learn more about how this new offering can help your office, E-BizDocs can set up a demonstration online at your convenience.

Kodak Capture Pro goes wide
KODAK Capture Pro Software Adds Compatibility for CONTEX Wide-Format Scanners to Integrate Large and Small Document Workflows
ROCHESTER, N.Y. and HERNDON, Va. , July 26 – An agreement between Kodak and Contex will allow enterprise organizations to unify information from large-format and standard sized documents into KODAK Capture Pro Software. The new compatibility between Contex’s wide format scanners and Capture Pro Software will provide users with a single interface to integrate information from these sources and deliver into databases and EDM/ECM applications.
“Contex and Kodak working together provides users a major step forward to help bridge the divide of managing large and small documents in a single workflow,” said Phil Magenheim, President, Contex Americas. “Channel partners selling scanners along with EDM/ECM services and solutions can now provide a common interface and common support for diverse sources of document-based information.”
Contex’s large format scanners are used to reproduce large format drawings, charts, maps, or other over-sized documents directly into EDM/ECM workflows. KODAK Capture Pro Software provides users with a single interface to efficiently capture and manage images and critical index data from small and large format scanners within an office setting. KODAK Service and Support will also be available for users of all CONTEX XD and SD Scanners, and for new CONTEX Scanner installations including the CONTEX XD2490, SD4450 and SD4490 Scanners.
“This compatibility enables an essential link for streamlining content from diverse sources into a single, unified database,” said Brian Bagan, Director of Business Development, United States and Canada, Document Imaging, Kodak’s Business Solutions and Services Group. “This solution demonstrates the broad capabilities of KODAK Capture Pro Software.”
Projects that include both wide format and standard sized documents can pose challenges for enterprise workflows managed by service bureaus and medium- to large-sized businesses. E-BizDocs, an electronic document management service provider based in Albany, N.Y., sources information from a variety of documents including larger surveyors’ records, to letter-sized building code regulation papers. The new compatibility between CONTEX Scanners and Capture Pro Software eliminates steps in the process to improve overall user productivity.
“Prior to this solution, the scanning of large format documents was detached and separate from our workflow. The integration between Kodak and Contex makes it easy to combine documents into a single file, and route them to specific locations,” said Howard Gross, President of E-BizDocs. “Since implementing the technologies, we have vastly improved our workflow efficiency.”
Kodak is a global advisor and provider of integrated services to help companies transform and optimize their businesses.

Kodak Showcases Automated, Digitized Solutions For Government
If you followed the recent Government IT Leadership Forum for 2011 on Twitter, you would have found a few interesting tweets using the hashtag #govit2011, highlighting some of the more important points mentioned by the speakers.
Kodak spoke recently with attendees of Information Week’s Government IT Leadership Forum 2011 about the importance of implementing innovative, strategic document management solutions for agencies and cross-department collaboration. IT decision makers—including CIOs in local, state and federal government—attended the Forum to learn about burgeoning trends, including the benefits of using document capture to produce more accurate, reliable data to meet rapidly changing records management and compliance needs. Kodak is a gold sponsor of the event, which was held at the Newseum in Washington, D.C.
Kodak’s comprehensive range of document capture equipment and capture software—all backed by KODAK Service and Support—enables agencies and other organizations to focus on speed, accuracy and durability to drive down costs of their paper-based tasks. Kodak provides a host of offerings to help customers better manage IT-driven tasks with timely return on investment as government agencies face increasing budgetary challenges and mandates for greater service deliveries.
Streamlining the Public Sector
“More than ever, the public sector is charged with streamlining best practices to lower operating costs and achieve greater efficiency across their information and document management practices,” said Mark Neff, Director of Marketing, United States and Canada, Document Imaging, Kodak’s Business Solutions and Services Group. “Kodak works with an extensive network of industry partners in the government sector—including Independent Software Vendors (ISVs), Authorized Resellers, and certified Service Bureaus—to customize solutions that meet records management priorities across the entire customer value chain: from the strategic decision maker to the system operator or integrator.”
Kodak integration
KODAK Scanners and KODAK Capture Pro Software provide direct, easy integration into commonly used platforms, including the Microsoft SharePoint platform. Federal mandates, like the Open Government Directive of 2009, have directed government agencies to focus on best practices of transparency, participation and collaboration. Subsequently, many agencies have increased adoption of SharePoint to better connect and engage employees in cross-department records-management collaboration.
KODAK Scanners provide customers market leading image quality, efficient operation and ease-of-use. For example, Kodak desktop scanners include KODAK Smart Touch Technology (video demo below) feature, which offers one-touch scan-to destination for up to nine locations. Additionally, KODAK Perfect Page Image Processing Technology Feature makes image enhancement quick and convenient for users through providing automatic image enhancements for greater accuracy in capturing information and efficiency in locating it. Kodak provides upgrades to existing hardware investments via its website to help lower the total cost of ownership, increase usefulness and extend the life of equipment.
KODAK Service and Support provides public-sector customers a single point of contact to manage costs associated with installations and repairs for scanners, software and storage solutions. Government agency customers benefit from a responsive, worldwide service team with 24×7 support and multi-vendor service expertise across more than 100 different manufacturers. The service team helps to minimize costs and make the most out of document capture investments.
