Customers need simple document capture Challenge: Capture can be complex Important business information is unstructured and often trapped on paper documents There are many software applications to support, settings to configure, instructions to understand Knowledge workers are often in remote office locations Solution: Capture should be simple and enabled across the workplace – Information on paper can be turned into digital format Knowledge workers can focus on their areas of expertise Capture can be done at the time and place where the knowledge worker needs to initiate a process workflow or create a transaction record Administrators can have easier deployment and more control over rollout, with plenty of options for further integration
Customers need easy, complete workflows Challenge: Business processes are sometimes automated, but they may not include all relevant information Information is often born digital and populates part of a customer record or a database entry at the time of the activity or transaction Standardized workflows exist for many common or high-frequency transactions Solution: Workflows should be customizable to any business process To make business processes simpler, faster and more efficient Information captured from paper documents should also be included in the workflow or in a transaction record to provide better insight Efficient workflows help to reduce processing costs
Customers need to manage information Challenge: Searching and finding relevant information is often difficult Repositories and file shares can quickly fill with documents Digital files are small and storage is inexpensive Solution: Data should be controlled so that the right information is stored in the right place at the right time
