Kodak Names BCS Systems, Independent Software Vendor of the Year for KODAK Scan Station 520EX Embedded Capture Solution
Friday 26. March 2010 - BCS Systems recently received Independent Software Vendor of the Year at the Kodak Executive Summit for BCS iConnect, an integrated application for users of the touch screen networked scanner, the KODAK Scan Station 520EX.
The software is a 100 percent web-based solution, which allows customers to more cost effectively manage information in specific business processes. BCS iConnect integrates with many mainstream business applications like JD Edwards, ORACLE E-Business Suite, PEOPLESOFT, SAP, Siebel and other legacy systems.
“BCS iConnect for the KODAK Scan Station 520EX helps businesses seamlessly connect distributed scanning into many enterprise applications. For our customers, this approach for implementing a distributed scanning strategy provides strong user acceptance while providing a competitive low total cost of ownership in the industry,” said Jon Gibson, President and CEO, BCS Systems. “The Scan Station 520EX with BCS iConnect provides an easy to use, easy to support device that is a very powerful yet cost-effective distributed document scanning strategy for our customers.”
BCS iConnect is a middleware platform that defines rules for classifying, indexing, securing and filing scanned documents for content management systems. These capabilities reduce manual indexing and coding of information to help make document capture and retrieval easier and more efficient.
iConnect extends the KODAK Scan Station capabilities to become a distributed web scanning solution featuring rapid deployment, centralized configuration and streamlined integration with enterprise resource planning (ERP) and line of business (LOB) applications. Added enhancements for the Scan Station 520EX provide simplified installation and device management requiring little or no IT support, and rich connectivity for major document management systems, including MICROSOFT SHAREPOINT Server.
“One of the biggest factors for businesses considering a document capture solution is the overall ROI they receive from their purchase,” said Daniel T. McAtee, Channel Sales Manager, United States and Canada, Document Imaging, Kodaks Business Solutions and Services Group. “The advanced features and broad systems support of BCS iConnect and the KODAK Scan Station 520EX help deliver rapid short-term ROI for customers.”
BCS iConnect support for SHAREPOINT Server enables customers to implement a “zero footprint strategy” for enterprise systems. Industries such as healthcare, government, financial services, energy, manufacturing and others increasingly rely on digitally enhanced information systems to minimize costs, increase collaboration, and improve service.
“This type of application demonstrates how the next generation of document imaging will use unstructured information more effectively in sophisticated, yet easy-to-implement solutions,” said Brian Bagan, Director, Business Development, United States and Canada, Document Imaging, Kodaks Business Solutions and Services Group. “Kodaks independent software vendors represent a central part of how we help our customers receive the best performance and choices from their capture platform.”
The Scan Station 520EX combines the capabilities of a dedicated scanner and a networked multi-function device. From a 75-sheet document feeder, the Scan Station 520EX provides duplex processing at 30 pages per minute (ppm) and 60 images per minute (ipm), with a recommended daily volume of 3,000 pages per day. Integrated Perfect Page Image Processing Technology helps to ensure optimal image quality and accuracy. The networked device also offers security-enhanced features, including secure login and remote administration features to configure and monitor the status of multiple devices.
