AnyDoc Capture Software: Helping to Streamline Everyday Business Processes

"We need to speed up this processes, entering this data by hand is very time consuming and we are limiting our resources". We hear this all the time, and from a wide range of clients. Any business process that deals with manually entering and distributing information (paper forms, faxes, emails, etc.) can be – at some level – automated. Of course these processes vary significantly from company to company, however the primary tool for the job of automation remains the same: capture software. Document capture software is the application which can reduce the amount of human interaction in retaining critical business data from incoming sources such as HR files, medical records, student transcripts, and, everyone’s favorite – invoices/accounting files. Streamlining everyday business processes has become an essential factor in delivering cost-savings and bringing productivity to the highest level within organizations. We work with several different capture software products, however when it comes to advanced capture and AP automation, OnBase’s AnyDoc is our go to.

AnyDoc is an extremely robust and powerful solution that allows for automatic indexing and classification of documents, which directs that information to its proper location. Sorting through data and finding files should no longer be a time consuming effort. Having data validated, stored securely, and readily available for use as soon as possible is how efficiency and optimization come about - and these are not tasks your employees should be set upon. Employees are hired for their unique skills and abilities to make decisions that build the business and maximize profits, not for menial jobs such as indexing and storing files. Putting significant personnel efforts towards such jobs is a waste of a company’s money as well as the talents of their workers.

While we seek to streamline various different business processes, the area in which we tend to see the most bang for the buck is in accounting and Invoice processing. Regardless as to how your organization is receiving its invoices, AnyDoc has the power automatically extract and send data to your accouting, ERP, and content management systems. This of course increases the speed of the cycle time, reduces the risk of inaccurate data, and lowers the costs associated with manually processing these forms. Below is a brief video – tailored towards accounts payables – that provides a demonstration on this powerful software tool.

Electronic Forms and The Paperless Office

When we talk about business process automation and improving office efficiency, one particular factor that has come to the forefront in terms of taking things to the next level is electronic forms (E-forms). While environmental issues and physical paper costs are certainly important, E-forms have so much more to offer. Managing physical paper files is a sure-fire way to rack up unnecessary costs within your organization, especially when considering the manual labors of printing, processing, and filing those forms. So if paper is what’s slowing you down, why not eliminate it entirely from certain areas? Many organizations grasp the concept of E-forms, but there still exists a resistance to get away from paper. Why? Well there are many misconceptions that companies have as well. Whether they be in regards to customization, costs, or compliance, we’re here to fill you in as to why adopting E-forms is one of the biggest steps your organization can take in developing cost-effective automated business processes. One of our big partners in this area is Access Formatta. Formatta has been a leader in E-forms for over a dozen years now, allowing customers to effortlessly capture, manage, and exchange data across business systems. Below is a brief overview that may get a few ideas popping for how your organization could benefit from adding this powerful software.

The ability to create and customize electronic forms is one of the leading factors in bringing more people to adopt them into their organization. Building these forms so that companies are still able to acquire specific information, while also personalizing them has been huge. Every organization, in one way or another, deals with such documents on a daily basis – often times in high volume – to distribute, collect, and manage critical information and data. Whether its HR forms when hiring new employees, administration forms for students at universities, healthcare forms for physician references, or any other scenario where critical data is being submitted, E-forms have the power to take that information, integrate it with your business systems, and really put it to work.

With E-forms, we are able to eliminate the need to create a paper file, and also are able to automate business processes that oftentimes are held up by manual data entry. Eliminating or reducing manual processes is a major focus of ours as it is frequently an area where our customers recognize significant benefits. Whether we do this through E-forms, advanced capture, or other methods, process automation is where you should be focused.

Storing and Retrieving Data - It Has Always Been an Issue...

The First Step - Digitizing Those Files

According to a study done by the US EPA, the average US office worker still generates up to 10,000 pages of paper per year. While we certainly don’t take kindly to killing trees, in our business that number concerns us less on an environmental standpoint and more with how much money that amount of paper is costing our customers. In addition, a study done by our friends at Gartner found it costs on average approximately $20 to file a document. Furthering that cost, the average document is copied at least nine times. NINE. While our conversation will eventually lead us to introduce our document capture and management solutions, the first step in battling the cost of paper is through document conversion. Given the figures above, the volume of files a company may be storing can easily rise into the 100,000's, if not millions. While these files may not need to be accessed frequently (if at all), they still are required for retention and legal purposes. Many companies may look at all the files they have in their file cabinets, let alone those kept in those bankers’ boxes and thrown in the storage closet or warehouse, and immediately feel overwhelmed. That’s where we come in.

If you haven’t seen what the new production scanners on the market are capable of, it has gotten pretty ridiculous. With capabilities of scanning over 200 pages per minute and an unlimited volume for daily use, in an average work day they can convert over 100,000 images into digital format. In our service bureau we have a fleet of these scanners specifically assigned for our customers to outsource their file scanning. Once converted to digital, these documents are indexed exactly how you would search for your documents if they were in a file cabinet. Date, invoice number, customer name – any way you’d like to retrieve these documents on your desktop can be done. Just imagine, all of those bankers boxes and seemingly endless amount of paper taken out in one fell swoop. No more worries about lack of office space, no more worries about misfiled or lost documents, and no more worries of compliance. By allowing us to do the scanning, companies are able to go about their current operations without allocating resources to take care of these complex tasks.

While a large part of our service bureau deals with accounting and customer files, we also have Large Format and Microfilm and Microfiche conversion services. Large format conversions can be a tricky one for many companies simply because the scanners required to convert them to digital are not quite as scalable as standard size scanners. With our Large Format scanners, we are capable of scanning engineering, architectural, construction, or any other sheets up to 48”. Like large format, film and fiche is also an area where our customers can be a nuisance to deal with on your own. Whether they need to be converted to tiff, PDF, or any other format, high speed film/fiche file conversion has been a specialty of ours since the doors were first opened. Conversely, we are also seeing clients revert to our archive writing services whereby we take digital files and convert them to analog film as an additional form of long term storage – whichever way you’re looking to go, we can take you there.

Getting your critical data stored electronically is fast becoming one of those “I’ll do it tomorrow” tasks. Today is yesterday’s tomorrow, and the quicker you decide to tackle this necessary process, the quicker your company starts saving money. Give us a call today 952-906-3022 and lets eliminate the paper headache together.

BPO - Escaping the Costs and Pains of AP Automation

When it comes to cost effectively developing automated solutions that deal with critical aspects of a business, organizations must make sure that they are implemented and managed with a high level of security and by well-trained individuals. The art of automating business processes – and yes, it is an art – can be a daunting task even for the largest of organizations as it takes a special combination of individuals with many departments being directly affected. Especially when it comes to AP, every individual involved plays a critical role. A strong IT department for technical development/support, Accounting in order to oversee how invoices, purchase orders, and related documents are approved and processed, Operations to make sure everything runs well within daily workings – all of these play critical roles when developing these solutions. Many organizations simply lack the necessary assets/manpower and as a result, this process can be very time consuming for any company and more importantly, expensive.

Here at Image Express we offer an easy fix: let us handle it. Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) is a big part of our business and one that sets us apart. Our expertise has allowed our customers to seamlessly implement automated solutions in a much faster and cost-effective manner than those tackling it themselves. We take care of everything – invoices, supplier forms, purchase orders, etc. are sent directly to us. We then scan those documents using high speed production scanners and automatically index them using our unique capture software which directs the data straight into your business systems. This process provides our customers with faster access to their data, eliminates human error, and increases flexibility, all the while lowering costs within your organization. Quick. Easy. Painless.

It’s a simple fact that organizations still dealing with paper files and manual data entry are wasting resources. Manual invoice processing, claims processing, and data entry are extremely time consuming and expensive. Not only that, but all the information coming out of these methods is subject to human error and could result in lost files, misinformation, incorrect payments and legal liability. Automating these paper-based, labor intensive processes has become a necessity - this is what we do and we do it well. Our business is founded upon building relationships with our customers, and we are there with you every step of the way.

As always, we are more than happy to provide product demos to show you how everything works. For more information about our BPO solutions or to schedule a complimentary consultation, give us a call (952) 906-3022 or visit our website www.imageexpressinc.com

FileBound - Delivering the Goods on AP Processing

Document Management can be a very broad term and mean a lot of different things depending on who you ask. How companies choose to search for, retrieve, and manage their files and data varies based on industry, volume, and a myriad of other factors. Like us as individuals, each company is unique and as such, require these solutions to fit the mold of the business so that it may work hand in hand with how they operate. However, despite these unique qualities, every company has certain business processes that are going to be similar from a general standpoint – one of which is AP Processing.

AP Processing is a very important area and one in which we like to focus on here at Image Express in order to really ramp up efficiency within organizations. Every company deals with it in one way or another, and it is a process in which technology has created enormous potential in regards to cost effectively attacking the issues slowing down organizations. Using our capture and imaging solutions in conjunction with Document Management software, we are able to automate a large portion of the process, and in doing so allows our customers to recognize major benefits. Whether we’re talking about the reduction of human error, reduced cycle times generating discounts from paying the bills early, or simply a more secure and manageable way for storing and accessing these files and information, we can provide cost effective solutions to help your business grow.

One of our solutions for developing automated AP processing solutions is provided by our partners at Upland Software. FileBound is a very robust and user-friendly application whereby companies are able to optimize business processes, improve productivity, lower operational costs, all while maintaining compliance with laws such as those provided by OSHA and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Obviously these are all desirable improvements for any organization, however the real kicker this software is the almost immediate ROI. Below is a short demonstration video that can show you how this software solution operates within the AP environment.

The Big Data Game

After an extended absence from the blogging world, we at Image Express are back. During our break from social media, we’ve been helping our clients tackle any and all issues they’ve had when it comes to developing automated business solutions and managing their digital information and data. It’s no longer a matter of just getting files and information stored in a digital format, but rather an issue of cost-effectively managing that information and putting it to work to save you and your organization time and money. Obviously the elimination of paper files is a start, but the real ROI in our industry comes when we can automate business processes and decipher what information is important and necessary to your company - this is why data management should be at the top of every organization’s priority list.

It should come as no surprise that in today’s world we are generating more data than ever before. In fact, 90% of the world’s data that now exists has been created in just the past two years! According to a study conducted by IBM, as of 2012 we are creating roughly 2.5 EXABYTES of data each and every day. What’s an Exabyte (EB)? 1 EB is the equivalent of 1 billion GBs. A billion… with a B. To put that in perspective, if you were to take that amount of data, put it into iPads, and stack them up you could build the equivalent of over 2,000 Empire State buildings - every single day. So how do we combat this? Glad you asked…

Our partners over at Imation are leading the charge when it comes to managing your organizations data with the Nexsan Assureon archive storage system. This system helps users identify key elements to their data storage and is as easy to use as it gets. Some of the major industries we are seeing utilize the Assureon system are Financial, Healthcare, and all levels of government, however this system is scalable and applicable to anyone in need of a cost effective data management solution. We recognize that every organization is different, and this is certainly not a cookie-cutter system. Whether your organization is dealing with storage optimization, data archiving, regulatory/compliance issues, or connecting offices for easy data access, the Assureon solution will undoubtedly boost efficiency and provide a quick and significant ROI – which is really what this game is all about.

Our job is to find your pain points - those areas within your organization where data management is slowing you down. We work hand in hand throughout the process so that these solutions fit specifically within your organizational needs, again with the ultimate goal of saving you time and money.  For more information on how we at Image Express and our partners at Imation can help, give us a call (952) 906-3022 or visit our website at www.imageexpressinc.com

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!

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!

Wanting Office Automation Vs. Achieving Office Automation

The NEED for office automation in today's competitive markets is driving business leaders to implement new processes and search for more efficient ways of conducting their day to day operations. In this search for efficiency, many are finding that they want to implement solutions aimed at reducing paper volume and creating workflow solutions that automate manual processes allowing you to do things faster. The problem is, WANTING is not enough when it comes to solution implementation.

Businesses, especially successful businesses, can be quite stubborn when it comes to change - especially when that change is affecting their core operations. Implementing document management and workflow solutions is a big one and while many businesses are striving for office automation stemming from these solutions, the actual implementation and use of them can fall through. We hear it time and time again - business owners go out and purchase document management software, yet find that their employees not only are ignoring the solution's most efficient functions, but that they are also continuing with their old habits of printing copies, attaching large files in emails, and largely ignoring even the most basic functions.

With larger businesses and fortune 500 companies, these solutions have been standard practice for some time now. New employees are trained to use the software on day 1 and thus these organizations retain a high ROI. When viewed from the perspective of a small to medium sized business, it appears as if document management software and workflow solutions should be effective right from the bat. However, don't be fooled into thinking that its as simple as just getting the software and telling people to use it - that's certainly not how it went for those big companies.

When changes of this nature take place, their will be a natural tendency in the office to fight it. Paper is a touchy subject in many organizations - people like to feel the document in their hand and see it physically sitting in front of them or else it is compromised, lacks security, or flat out doesn't exist. We get it - this is how business has been done for years and its how you've been successful. However, the helpful hand of technology is allowing organizations to speed up processes to help grow their business and others must keep pace if they are to remain competitive.

Document management and workflow solutions can only provide the quick and high ROI to help your business grow if they are used properly. This means strict enforcement throughout the entire organization until employees become accustomed to the change. It doesn't take long for employees and organizations as a whole to recognize the benefits, they just need that initial commitment - and that's something we here at Image Express can help with. When we work with our customers in developing these solutions, the education and training on the software is just as important as developing the right solution in the first place. We make sure that everyone who will be utilizing the software is trained and competent with everything the solution has to offer. By keeping a close relationship throughout the training process as well as on going support, we are able to bridge the gap between those who WANT office automation and those who ACHIEVE office automation.

Our Chatfield offices down near Rochester, MN are all set up now which has us both really excited and extremely relieved (As you know, moving can be quite a stressful process). For those of you out there who didn't hear the news at the beginning of the year, we've merged with Relion which has given us a big boost technical capabilities as well as some new customers to take care of - something we're obviously looking forward to.

Had a chance meet with our guys at Imation who had some awesome updates for us. We are really excited with what they have to offer and how it is incorporated into the solutions we work with to make your business information easy to access and completely secure - all while maintaining a cost level which produces a high ROI to your business. More details to come with them...

Finally, we had the chance to catch up with our friends at Cranel Imaging at our annual get-together last week. We have a great relationship with those guys and really appreciate the work they do for us making these meetings more of a family reunion than a business meeting. It is with their help that we are able to provide our customers with the best service and lowest prices, so for that we are very thankful.

All in all things have been going great and we look forward to continuing to provide our customers with all their needs concerning document imaging. Whether it is a simple scanning job or a total ECM solution, we look forward to working with you. As always, if you have any quesitons or need any information just give us a shout - the contact info is below.

NASA Saving Millions -- You Can Too

Working in the industry and providing our customers with similar cloud based solutions has given us a front row seat in watching what the cloud can do for businesses and organizations looking to up the efficiency in their information management. While many businesses out there still remain skeptical and refuse to take advantage of these solutions, it is without question that they are falling behind. With the increase in evaluations coming out like this one from NASA, it becomes more and more obvious that in order to keep up with the competition your organization must first keep up with technology.
