More and more organizations are converting their paper documents into electronic images for simplified retrieval and storage. Once stored electronically, documents can easily be located, printed or sent via e-mail.

Some of the primary drivers for this transition are:
• Fewer incidences of lost records
• Reduced need for storage space
• Easier record management
• Less time spent searching for documents
• Increased security and accessibility

Research demonstrates the economics of paper documents versus document imaging:
• Documents cost about $20 each to file manually (source: Gartner Research)
• Documents are copied, either physically or electronically, an average of 9-11 times at a cost of about $18
• The average executive wastes 150 hours per year looking for lost, misplaced, misfiled or mislabeled documents
• Misfiled documents cost about $120 to retrieve

Image Express provides a low-cost imaging solution that scans and archives vendor invoices, HR documents, purchase orders and more, capturing invoice images and indexing them as the information initially is entered into your ERP system.

Authorized users can retrieve invoice images through a standard Web browser or from within the ERP system. Document searches are customizable by established fields such as invoice number, invoice date, voucher number, general ledger account and purchase order number.

Image Express allows users to create image groups as needed, providing user access based upon image group. Even users within an image group can have different levels of access to document types. Authorized users may customize up to 40 look-up indexes.

Multiple levels of security are available based upon image groups, document type or both. Document retrieval can be based on any available index; all documents matching the look-up criteria are returned.

Authorized users can display PDFs of scanned documents or print all documents that match the look-up criteria in one click, edit or correct look-up indexes on any document, and print or e-mail documents directly from the browser/viewer.

Image Express provides an audit history of each document — when it was scanned, indexed or viewed, and the users who performed the function.

Manual index capabilities allow companies to expand the electronic file cabinet to include Human Resource documents, contracts, purchase orders and more.
