Laserfiche

Laserfiche® announced that Fujitsu Computer Products of America, Inc., a market leader in document management, document imaging scanners and services, has awarded Laserfiche the quarterly Fujitsu ISV Innovative Award. Laserfiche was selected for creating a powerful Business Process Management (BPM) solution for Daviess County Prosecutor’s Office in Indiana.

Each quarter the Innovative Leadership Award is given to independent software vendors (ISVs) that successfully leverage Fujitsu imaging products to optimize business processes and improve customers’ bottom line results.

Laserfiche value-added reseller and consultant, Nancy Mathes of Paper-Lite, worked with Daviess County employees to create an electronic work process in Laserfiche that mirrors their processes with paper case files. Using Fujitsu fi-6130 scanners, staff scans documents directly into the document management repository, which dynamically creates case folders and places key identifying data such as case numbers and defendant names into template fields. At the end of the day, all document imaging is ready for full-text or template-field search and retrieval.

“We designed the template to enable workflow automation in the future,” Mathes said. “We planned our implementation to do what we needed up front and to make things easier as we move forward.”

“Fujitsu is pleased to present the Innovative Leadership Award to Laserfiche,” said Doug Rudolph, Vice President, Product Management and Business Development, Fujitsu Computer Products of America, Inc. “At Fujitsu, we look for companies that make significant contributions to content management solutions and help streamline business processes. With Avante, Laserfiche has created a BPM solution that impacts the bottom line for various sectors.”

“We’re excited that Daviess County has seen great success using Laserfiche together with world-class Fujitsu scanners,” said Chris Wacker, Laserfiche Senior Vice President of Business Development. “We’re thrilled that Fujitsu has presented Laserfiche with this award, and we appreciate the company’s ongoing commitment to our partnership.”

Document management, or document imaging, is the practice of digitizing, indexing and archiving both paper and electronic documents for easy storage and retrieval.

Quality electronic document management system helps you:

1) Transform your paper filing system to enable greater information access.

2)Promote information sharing enterprise-wide.

3) Optimize your business processes to increase efficiency and productivity.

4) Demonstrate regulatory compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley, HIPAA and other laws.

5) Simplify records retention and destruction procedures.

Thousands of organizations around the world use document imaging every day instead of paper filing systems or a shared file server where folders and files provide the only structure. While the file server might be cost effective for backing up documents, it ignores certain document management needs such as: controlling and monitoring changes in documents, making sure everyone is using the most updated templates, locking certain files, locating documents on the corporate network efficiently.

Sometimes, TV or movie characters can benefit from document management just as much as the rest of us.

While watching the series finale of “ER” last night, which normally wouldn’t make you think of Laserfiche. But as I watched an intern escort a group of medical students around, and as he stopped at the paper chart holder and explained how their paper-based workflow worked (or didn’t, as the case may be), I couldn’t help but think…wouldn’t this be a lot easier with a document imaging system?

And it isn’t just “ER.” Every time I watch the detectives on “Cold Case” sorting through boxes of documents pulled from cold storage, or Melinda on “Ghost Whisperer” visiting the dusty, jam-packed city archives, it’s hard not to see what a benefit document imaging would be to them.

We’ve already seen how detectives are using document management to work toward solving cold cases. City clerks use document management to provide dust-free access to city records - sometimes even over the Web. There are many emergency rooms that use document imaging to streamline billing - and recapture lost revenue.

Unfortunately, I think that a character sitting at a computer and retrieving the information they need with two or three clicks doesn’t quite have the dramatic value or ambience of a dark, underground document archive filled with boxes - and a few ghosts, too. (Although I’d venture a guess that most of the city archives out there aren’t dark, damp or filled with ghosts. Maybe just filled with boxes of paper.)

Have you seen any scenarios “in the wild” of TV or movies where Laserfiche document imaging would help? Or am I the only one that watches “The Dark Knight,” looks at Harvey Dent’s office, and thinks, “Man, he could really benefit from Laserfiche“?
