Document Agent |
MicroFile XE Document Agent improves employee efficiency by allowing users to retrieve supporting documents - including images, application files, and text reports—by simply clicking on a specified field within any Windows-based program such as an ERP, CRM, or other line-of-business applications.
The integration between other applications and Microfile Document agent is done without the time and costs associated with custom programming - traditionally required for interaction
|
Flexible Indexing |
Microfile can assign custom indexes to documents. Indexing paper in more than one way is awkward, costly and time-consuming. |
Fast Retrieval - Better Access to Information |
Microfile lets you find documents quickly without leaving your desk. Paper filing is slower because users must go to files and search manually. These paper files could be in many locations. |
No Lost Files |
Once a document is in Microfile XE it can never get lost. Documents can be searched and retrieved by any single or combination index criteria. Example: Search for all proof of deliveries for January 2006, for customer x. This search will take seconds
|
Share Files Easily |
Microfile makes it easy to share documents electronically with colleagues and clients over an intranet or web environment. Documents can be retrieved electronically from any location instantly. Paper documents usually require photocopying to be shared |
Improved Security - Valuable Tool to Combat Fraud |
Microfile can provide better, more flexible control over sensitive documents. Microfile offers security right down to document type level. In contrast, all paper documents in a filing cabinet or filing room have the same level of security. |
Space Saving |
Microfile will help recover valuable office space that was previously taken up by bulky paper filling cabinets. |
Disaster Recovery |
Microfile provides an easy way to back-up documents in digital format for offsite storage and disaster recovery. The risk of loss of paper by fire, flood or theft is a real threat to any company. With Microfile this threat is eliminated.
|
Compliance and Auditing |
“An organization is obliged to keep records of its business relationships and transactions for up to five years after the fact, and in labour terms, is required to keep a copy of an employee's letter of employment and related information for up to four years after they have left your employ.“The penalty for not following this procedure can be a fine of up to R10 million or 15 years in jail”
|
Improved Efficiency and Decision Making |
Many times a decision has to be made on the bases of a document. No document, no decision. Customers expect more and more of there business partner’s these days. One of the key factors in choosing a business partner is efficiency. Retrieving documents manually takes time. Retrieving documents from many locations takes even longer. When using Microfile, business partners will never have to wait again for information and doing business will be a pleasure. |
Microfile also comes with batch scan modules that make large volume document scanning fast and painless: |
Intuitive Document Explorer user interface |
Scanned documents are organized and visually displayed o the tree-like structure on the left-hand side Document Explorer. For multiple-page documents and single-page ones, the user can have a graphical view of all documents scanned during the session.
|
Job-card support |
A blank or barcode cover page can be used as a job-card for separating documents. For single sheet documents, a new document number can be generated automatically for each scanned sheet.
|
Data capture by barcode recognition |
Barcode recognition technology can attain accuracy close to 100%, which is by far the most reliable document data capture method. MF Barcode batch scan supports most common barcode types including Patch Code.
|
Customizable timestamp |
You can put a timestamp on a scanned document image with the current date and custom text.
|
Easy integration with other software |
MF Batch Scan’s object model exposes a set of methods and properties that help integrating the package with other software a breeze.
|
Built-in image cleanup and processing functions |
Common and advanced image cleanup and processing functions are built in to improve data capture accuracy and document legibility.
|
Batch mode and single page mode processing |
You can process one or all batches of documents in one go. You can also work on one image at a time.
|
True duplex and simulated duplex scanning |
Full duplex scanning mode is supported. If the scanner does not support duplex scanning, MF Batch Scan allows you to simulate duplex scanning.
|
Color and gray-scale image support |
Besides black & white images, MF Batch Scan supports scanning, storing and barcode recognition of color and gray-scale images.
|
Auto-index by document name or barcode value |
You can use the document number or captured barcode value as document search index.
|
Drag-and-drop page ordering |
Document pages scanned in with wrong page order can be easily re-arranged by drag-and-drop operation.
