The first step in managing your content is getting it into your IT infrastructure. While many internal company documents are born digital, and remain, digital throughout the lifecycle organizations still need to ingest a tremendous amount of paper-based communications from outside. Cheques, invoices, application forms, customer letters, etc. all need to be turned into digital form for insertion into an electronic workflow or directly into storage. |
Capturing documents puts them in motion and enables the informationcontained in those documents to be acted upon. While we predominantly refer to the capture as the digitizing of paper documents; capture can also mean ingesting electronic files (emails, forms, etc.) into your information management environment
As with any ECM technology, properly implementing capture tools requires a great deal of upfront work and planning. It’s not as easy as dropping paper into you desktop scanner and creating a PDF. |
