What is Document Imaging • Scanning of paper into “electronic document” • “Index” document • Application of metadata • Store in a repository or“Electronic Filing Cabinet” • Search • Metadata • SharePoint • Display document • Workflow
Document Imaging History • 1980’s several vendors started scanning paper • Proprietary workstation hardware • Proprietary repositories • Proprietary database • Expensive to purchase • Expensive to maintain • High barrier to entry, risky, long ROI
Document Imaging History • Microsoft releases SPS 2001 • KnowledgeLake Implementing “another” imaging solution • KnowledgeLake recognized opportunity to use SharePoint as a repository • KnowledgeLake created the components to make SharePoint an Imaging solution
Document Imaging Case Study • 6 Week Deployment • Scan & index > 4,000 images / day • 263,000 in 3 months with two Scanners • Retrieval time from 15 minutes to < 5 seconds • Today expanded to related documents, Risk Management, Loan Documents and growing • SharePoint replacing Intranet www.knowledgelake.com/casestudies
