BOLT Bridge is 'Speed Dial' for Laserfiche

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) August 25, 2009 -- "We love our new ‘Speed dial’ scanning for Laserfiche - it’s made a terrific improvement in our document management." Those were the words recently spoken by Kathy McDowell of CTB about their new distributed scanning arrangement for their Laserfiche system.

Chore Time Brock is a global designer and manufacturer of agricultural systems located in Milford, Indiana. For nine years their human resources department has relied on a Laserfiche document management system to archive, search, and manage thousands of past and present employee records. Previously, paper documents flowed through the corporation to one scan station for capture into the Laserfiche system. Recent belt tightening had reduced available personnel to staff the centralized scanning position. As a result the HR department had fallen behind thereby creating a large backfile of paper records.

Kathy and associate Paula Hanes contacted their Laserfiche reseller. They needed a solution that could prevent them from falling behind again in the future. The daily volume of records to be scanned was not extremely large and it was determined that if the daily scanning could distributed among their staff that the load would be manageable and records would be available in the system sooner. But the scanning procedures would need to be simplified so that department staff could be trained to scan and index documents quickly and with a minimum risk of errors.

The Laserfiche reseller recommended that CTB convert to distributed capture using personal scanners with a connector software (BOLT Bridge) to seamlessly connect and scan to Laserfiche. The BOLT Bridge software was developed to enable advanced features built into personal scanners and to simplify the process of capturing frequently scanned documents. BOLT Bridge would allow CTB to pre-define document profiles with information regarding document naming, routing, and indexing, and then select desired profiles at scan time using as little as one press of a button on the scanner or one click of a mouse. Fast, error proof, and cost effective, the BOLT Bridge solution was exactly what Kathy and Paula were looking for.

CTB selected Kodak ScanMate i1120 personal desktop document scanners to use with the BOLT Bridge software. BOLT Bridge enables the Kodak SmartTouch feature to provide one button scanning directly to Laserfiche. The reseller worked with Kathy and Paula to define the document profiles specifically to the CTB HR department needs. Department personnel can now capture information to the Laserfiche system faster and more efficiently making the system more efficient and useful than before.

When asked how her department likes the new scanning process Paula answers, "the BOLT Bridge is great! It has made scanning much simpler - enough so that I can easily show anyone how to do it in just a couple of minutes. We refer to it as our Speed Dial for Laserfiche".
