Flexible capture alternatives are essential for preparing paper and electronic documents for archival, retrieval and distribution across your document management solution. The Laserfiche® document imaging and management platform provides basic scanning, batch processing and electronic document import.
Add Value to Devices Such as Digital Copiers, Multifunction Printers, and Fax Servers Servers Laserfiche® Import Agent provides effortless document importing and management within a Laserfiche® repository. Businesses constantly generate documents that must be readily accessible. These documents come from a variety of sources, such as multifunctional peripherals (MFPs), which include devices performing any combination of printing, faxing, scanning, and copying. Without the Import Agent, the risk of misfiling documents and incorrect index cards exists. Documents are more difficult to find as a result. Laserfiche® Import Agent maximizes document accessibility by automating document importing and document management within the Laserfiche® repository.
Maximizing the value of information locked in an organization’s documents requires putting it in the hands of decision-makers when and where it’s needed most. From staff in remote offices, to clients, the public and regulatory officers, individuals within and beyond your organization rely upon fast information access to work at peak productivity.
Laserfiche® answers these demands with secure, reliable distribution across your network as well as solutions for the Web, CD, e-mail and COLD. Explore the product areas below to learn how these solutions will work for you.
The Problems with Paper Traffic
Your staff search for information, act on it, move it and archive it every day. The manual processes of searching; faxing, photocopying and distributing documents are costly and time-consuming.The inefficiencies divert your staff from the crucial business of making productive use of information.Workflow at Work
Your system administrator uses the Work Distribution Manager to model your office's work procedures and establish routing rules to guide documents throughout your office. The Work Distribution Agent then follows those rules to move documents to another person's folder or copy documents that need to be reviewed in multiple locations. When the Work Distribution Agent detects an event specified by the Work Distribution Manager—a supervisor changes an index field to Approved, for example—the Agent performs the required moving or copying.This setup, while effectively moving documents to the right person, does not prohibit workflow-on-the-fly. For instance, if an authorized person needs to search for a document and drag it into someone else's folder, the Workflow Suite will accommodate that practical necessity.
The notification service automatically e-mails appropriate staff when designated events take place. A supervisor can be notified, for instance, when a staff member opens a certain document. An acknowledgment timer also allows the supervisor to be notified if the document remains unopened for a specified period of time.

Protecting Your Organization
Regulatory penalties. Lost business. Litigation. Business record keeping is a high-stakes endeavor.
