The Three Steps
to Easier Document Management

Step #1: SCAN DOCUMENTS

ImageMaster™ Professional supports hundreds of scanners from dozens of manufacturers using the TWAIN and Kofax interfaces. The built-in scanning module allows direct importation of paper documents of virtually any size into the ImageMaster™ database, at any time, even while the system is being used by multiple people. The high powered scanning engine supports all classes of scanners from 2 page-per-minute desktop models to 120 page-per-minute double sided workhorses, all at full rated speed! This makes ImageMaster™ ideal for industrial production environments or for use as a front-end to other document management products.

For documents that are already computer based, ImageMaster™ features a genuine Windows printer object that allows the capture and conversion of any printable material from any software application's print function. ImageMaster™ automatically saves the document as a scanned document regardless of the file format of the source. That means that documents filed by ImageMaster™ will always be accessible without the need to have the original software that created the document available.
 

Step #2: INDEX SCANNED DOCUMENTS

ImageMaster™ Professional uses the industry standard xBase database format to store indexing information, and for speed and flexibility it takes advantage of the Rushmore technology present in Microsoft FoxPro. ImageMaster™ Professional has a unique completely definable indexing structure. This allows ImageMaster™ to integrate with foreign databases easily and allows it to serve as a front end for other document management products and workflow solutions. In addition to the easy-to-use single step indexing feature, ImageMaster's advanced scanning module allows automatic recognition of bar codes, patch codes, and auto-repeating fields. The optional production scanning extension allows deferred indexing and intelligent indexing capabilities.
 

Step #3: RETRIEVE SCANNED DOCUMENTS

ImageMaster™ Professional employs a unique user interface that is easy to use and extremely powerful. The advanced natural language indexing and search tool allows prompts to appear along with specific descriptive text, and the data entry screens contain only the prompts necessary for a particular dataset. No longer do you have to live with fixed formats and a limited set of user defined fields. ImageMaster™ is completely customizable on-the-fly without programming. The search engine can find matching documents based on any criteria, including the ability to find documents "containing" specific text. The simple yet powerful user interface does not utilize any confusing pull down menus and is completely consistent between platforms.

Finally, an office productivity tool the entire office can use!
