Scanning Protects and Secures Sensitive Data

 INfuse Solution now includes user authentication to minimize security risks

eBizDocs now offers INfuse Expansion Modules, including six new software add-ons and support for a third-party card reader accessory that allows users to scan documents more securely and efficiently than before.

“Adding accessories to enhance the functionality of systems is a widely popular concept across most business and consumer devices,” said Jim Forger, Product Line Manager at Kodak Alaris. “We see it in smart phones, computers, and also in the Kodak S2000 Series Scanners with our passport and flatbed accessories. We’re now bringing this capability to our INfuse Smart Connected Scanning Solution.”

The INfuse Solution integrates into other applications allowing users to complete tasks more accurately and faster than ever before. Tasks previously completed in days are now measured in minutes or hours.

INfuse includes three key components: the line of business software application, INfuse Management Software, and the INfuse AX Scanner. Networked document solutions such as invoice processing, medical records management, or customer account management are integrated with the INfuse solution through the use of APIs and plug-in modules.

Improve Your Document Security
INfuse provides enterprise-level security, including a separate data path, control path, and authentication path, to isolate confidential content for secure transmission. As part of the INfuse expansion, new authenticator modules for added security include: the LDAP Authentication Module, the PaperCut Authentication Module, and the ability to develop custom authentication modules. All of the modules provide credentialed information from the scanner directly into a customer’s authentication system. Customers benefit from having a single authentication authority, providing more efficiency and better control over document chain of custody.

New Card Reader Provides Added Layer of Security
Kodak Alaris now supports secure access to INfuse AX Scanners using a third-party card reader. The HID OMNIKEY Smart Card Reader is a cost-effective way for organizations to leverage their existing user ID system to improve security while providing a user-friendly experience.

For example, employees at a bank needing to process invoices can simply walk up to the INfuse AX Scanner, swipe their employee badge, and scan the invoices. Leveraging the existing credentials already used by employees and IT departments means little training is needed. Organizations can feel confident that their scanning solution is secure and an extension of their trusted authentication solution.

Streamline Your Business Scanning Processes
In addition to the existing standard and partner customized connectors, four new Direct-to-destination Connector Modules are available to optimize data channel efficiency to major cloud destinations. These Connector Modules allow the scanner to scan directly to Microsoft Azure Blob storage, Amazon S3 storage, Alibaba OSS storage, or Tencent COS storage without passing through intermediate destinations. This improves security while simultaneously eliminating costs, delays, and maintenance complexities.

Industry Recognition and Use Cases
The INfuse Smart Connected Scanning Solution has received several industry accolades, including Buyers Lab’s Outstanding Achievement in Innovation Award. Meanwhile, the list of use cases from around the world continues to grow.

Here are a few ways that INfuse makes business processes faster and more efficient:

• Invoice Processing workflows have an easy on-ramp to move receipts, invoices, and other documents directly into these systems.
• HR records can be securely and efficiently filed with peace of mind, as users receive real-time acknowledgement when a document is sent and received.
• Medical records can be sent and instantly received because the INfuse Solution is compact enough to be placed at the nursing station.
• Logistics Companies that have a variety of depots can place INfuse in each location for workers to send proof of delivery (POD) documents and other shipping notices.

With the new INfuse Expansion Modules, Kodak Alaris and eBizDocs are confident that the list will continue to grow.
