OpenText Imaging

A complete solution for capturing and viewing the complete range of business documents

All companies have to cope with business-critical, paper-centric processes, such as order management, accounts payable, and contract management. The speed, precision, and cost-efficiency of each of these processes is driven by the degree to which structured data (from business applications like SAP Business Suite) is integrated with unstructured business documents (such as incoming paper documents or electronic office documents). These business documents need to be captured, and readily accessible after they have been captured.

OpenText Imaging accommodates the need to scan paper documents and the need to view electronic documents. It covers both aspects of business document integration—capturing documents from various sources including scanners, faxes, email, and other office applications, and retrieving documents for users in many different environments, including in remote offices and via the Internet.

The OpenText Imaging solution provides interfaces for integration with workflow, OpenText Archive Server, OpenText Content Server, and other business applications. With OpenText Imaging, documents can be captured, archived, and linked to all types of business objects within enterprise applications.
