SharePoint Scanning Case Studies

Ran into a great site with some really cool Scan to SharePoint Case Studies.  This company is out of the UK, Datafinity, and has several deployments where customers are scanning and capturing documents into SharePoint libraries.  Here are some summaries:

Kepak Group is a young, professional and dynamic business that has grown into one of Europe's leading food processing companies employing over 2000 people in nine manufacturing facilities across Ireland and the UK. Kepak installed PSI:Capture to manage the scanning and indexing of a growing volume of personnel files that needed to be stored and managed. PSI:Capture links to payroll and HR systems to retrieve index data, converts the HR files into text-searchable PDFs and transfers the files to SharePoint 2010.  “PSI:Capture has enabled us to scan large volumes of documents into pre-defined structures in SharePoint with the use of very simple drop-down menu options and links to our HR system” said Aine Black, HR Manager, Kepak Group. Read full case study

Haulfryn Group Ltd, an operator of holiday and residential mobile home parks across England and Wales, decided to deploy PSI:Capture Enterprise as their SharePoint 2010 Document Capture solution.  Using PSI:Capture in conjunction with Kodak document scanners, they now have an end to end capture solution that provides unmatched speed and automation, along with a simple, yet powerful user interface.  “PSI:Capture has made our whole scanning process robust,” said Stephen Lattimore, Business Process Manager for Haulfryn.  “We can now quickly reference our documents in SharePoint 2010 for audit and service.”  Along with the current scanning process, Haulfryn plans to add the processing of survey forms and other documents in the near future. Read full case study

The Fire Brigades Union, headquartered in Kingston-upon-Thames, needed a way to store large volumes of paper documents in their newly deployed Microsoft SharePoint 2010 document management system. They evaluated several scanning and OCR products available on the market before choosing PSI:Capture, because of its ease of use, quick implementation and unparalleled interface to SharePoint. The Union now scans many thousands of documents a day which are converted into text-searchable PDFs and stored in SharePoint providing instant access to all paper information for the Union staff located throughout the UK. Read full case study

Isos Housing, a housing association headquartered in Newcastle upon Tyne, is responsible for the day-to-day management of almost 12,000 homes across the North East, from Berwick in the north down to Stockton in the south, and across to Cumbria in the west. The company adopted PSI:Capture to enable them to automate the scanning and storage of invoices and other accounting documents in their Microsoft SharePoint system. PSI:Capturereads unique barcode references created from their accounting system, Open Accounts, to index and organise documents in SharePoint for quick and easy access by staff in their four offices across Northumberland.
