Introducing the i3000 Series Scanners from Kodak
Kodak has announced the arrival of a new group of scanners - the i3000 series. These scanners fit nicely into Kodak's departmental line and are designed to keep your office's scanning procedures running at the highest level of efficiency while maintaining a very cost-effective price. These scanners have hit the shelves prepared to deliver on some of the most innovative imaging tasks allowing your office to maintain a high level of organization and collaboration. The i3000 series can fit into any department within an organization and provide them with a consistent tool for a proficient imaging solution. Here's a little deeper look into some of the functionality…
250 Sheet Feeder/Elevator – The i3000 series can hold up to 250 sheets of paper in its elevator which allows organizations to roll through their scanning in larger batches. Combined with the Kodak design, these scanners provide continuous throughput while keeping paper jams to a minimum.
IDP – Intelligent Document Protection allows for a high level of security with every document sent through the machine. As Kodak likes to say – “Tear through work, not paper”.
Perfect Page Technology – This is the good stuff. Automatically optimize image quality with every document sent through.
Kodak Smart Touch – Define job names and direct files to specific locations with the touch of a button. This helps streamline your processes and achieves a maximum level of efficiency.
Compatibility – the i3000 series was designed to effectively integrate with any and all TWAIN, ISIS, and Linux based scanning applications.
Straight Through Paper Path Function – Many customers require scanning solutions that do not physically bend the document as happens with rotary scanning. For these documents, the i3000 series can scan files sending them through the machine without bending – flexibility for the inflexible

New Year's Resolutions
As Christmas time comes to an end, so begins that wonderful time of creating new year's resolutions - many, if not all of which will die off come February. Well, if one of your new year's resolutions involves cutting out paper and creating more efficient business processes, we'd like to help make sure it sticks. We've got you covered in all things document imaging, so for those who have made it a priority to get the train moving, select any of the following options to find out how we can assist (and for those still searching for their business new year's resolutions - here are some great ideas):
BACKFILE CONVERSION
So you know that old storage closet - the one with all those files that you're required to keep but hardly ever use? And remember when you first thought of getting all those files transferred to digital storage? Let us finally take care of those for you - we can get it done fast and securely using the latest and greatest technology, all while providing you with the most competitive pricing available. Disaster recovery, missing/damaged files, compliance issues, etc. - all of those headaches, which can seriously hamper the efficiency of your business, are eliminated once those files are converted. This is a new year's resolution that should be priority number one.
SCANNER UPGRADES
Whether you're hearing it from your employees who do the scanning or it is showing in the images - old scanners can be a big road bump in any business process involving the digital conversion of paper documents. Maintaining the latest and greatest hardware can provide a serious leg up - and with our trade-in program the investment will let you keep both that arm and leg. Regardless of whether you're scanning 50 documents a day or 50,000, we've got the scanner that best suits your business needs. Being a nation leader when it comes to hardware sales, we are able to provide the absolute lowest price you're going to find so don't miss out on completing this easy and important new year's resolution.
DOCUMENT MANAGEMENT
Is this the year you take things to the next level and implement a document management system? Cloud based vs. On Site, seated licensing vs. data volumes, workflow or not - so many aspects are involved in choosing the right system for your business. We work with several different companies, each of which differ somewhat in philosophy when it comes to document management. We do this so that you have options. We understand that every business is different, and that's why we spend so much time making sure we can provide you with a solution tailored to fit yours. An effective document management system will start saving your company time and money from the moment it is implemented which is why we feel this is a great new year's resolution to help your business hit the ground running in 2013.
DATA STORAGE
While document management systems allow for easy storage and retrieval of your important files, there are also times when you need to store documents simply for compliance issues. When document retrieval becomes a non-factor, document management systems become cost-prohibitive. This is where our friends at Imation come into play. Their integrated solutions give you easy access to your information and provides you with both the performance of online storage and the economics of offline storage. Their complete line of scalable storage solutions is second to none and they are constantly striving to improve upon their products - we love working with them and you will too.
BUSINESS PROCESS OUTSOURCING
Let's face it - sometimes there are business requirements that are best left handled by outside sources as opposed to doing it internally. When it comes to building workflows, claims processing, invoice processing, or custom capture, we've got the necessary tools to create automated processes for your business. Let us help provide you with that extra flexibility provided to those with less of the busy work on their hands - consultations are free and we are quite confident that once you look into our BPO services, this new year's resolution will be a no-brainer.
All in all it has been a great year here at Image Express both for us and for our customers. We are excited for what 2013 has to bring, and we look forward to helping our customers both new and old find the solution that will take their business to that next level. As always, please give us a call if you have any questions or are interested in any product demos. Have a safe and happy new year!

Kodak Trade-Ins
Now is a great time to start looking at trading in your old scanners and upgrade to the latest and greatest. For those who didn't know, Kodak runs a trade-in program whereby trading in your old equipment you can earn credit towards a newer model. This program has been very successful in helping our customers keep their equipment up to date while saving as much money as possible.
In particular, those companies still working with the i600 series from Kodak have been getting great trade in value when moving up to either The Ngenuity or i5000 series.

EMR's Made Easy For the Smaller Health Care Providers
As Electronic Medical Records (EMR) become more and more standard practice for hospitals and physicians offices, the cost of the solutions which produce EMR's have begun to drop. As a result, these solutions no longer pertain simply to large health care providers, but also to the smaller organizations as well. One solution that has caught our eye, especially when dealing with the smaller helth care provider, is a bundled package between Inofile's ChartMD and Fujitsu's Networked scanners.
We've addressed Networked Scanners in previous posts as they have been a great addition when it comes to document imaging. For how connected these machines are to your network, they are very easy to use which makes many of our friends with Ph.D's happy. Especially when it comes to smaller practices which don't have the luxery of an IT department, it is important when transitioning to EMR's that the process be quick, efficient, and - obviously - compliant. Scanning is often the most labor intensive phase of converting to EMR's, which is why Networked Scanners provide such a great it for the smaller guys.
Despite the fact that scanning requires most of the work, the solution dictating where these files are stored must be compliant and easy to use for EMR's to be effective. Enter Inofile's ChartMD - the batch scanning feature allows pactices to scan and index an entire chart room on demand. Because the networked scanners have built in keyboards and touch screens, the files can be scanned, indexed, and stored in a very efficient manner. www.imageexpressinc.com
To learn more about this bundled package, or to explore further options regarding your organization's imaging solutions, give us a call and we'd be happy to provide you with a free consultation and product demo.

Kodak Seeking Buyer for Document Imaging Division
On Thursday, August 23rd (or yesterday, for those of us still stuck in the office on this beautiful Friday afternoon) Kodak announced that the company is in search of a buyer for its Document Imaging division. Naturally, this move caused quite a stir which led to many questions surrounding the future of those who have partnered with - and purchased from - Kodak Document Imaging. Although we certainly had some questions of our own, in all honesty we feel it couldn't be a better move.
For years Kodak's Document Imaging division has been one of the most (if not THE most) profitable divisions thoughout all of Eastman Kodak. In fact, many of Kodak's other areas of business have been kept afloat over those years by borrowing from the division's profits - and still the Document Imaging department continues to develop and release new products both in hardware and software. With those funds now remaining within Document Imaging, their will be even more resources put towards research and development aimed at maintaining the high level of quality products and services our customers have come to expect.
Additionally, regarding the existing service contracts, we have more good news. When Kodak filed for Chapter 11 earlier this year, the Court stipulated that all service contracts would be honored. It is expected that the buyer of Kodak's Document Imaging division will be held to those same stipulations (cue the giant sigh of relief *WHEW*) and all service contracts will be maintained.
We will obviously be watching this sale closley, though for now we are looking forward to this step in the right direction. Kodak has had its fair share of struggles the past few years, and we are happy that its most successful (and our personal favorite) division will be receiving the attention it deserves. As always, we are here for any questions or concerns you may have. Stay tuned for updates!
