"In order for document scanning to become truly pervasive, solutions must focus on the needs of the individual. This new frontier requires solutions that are affordable, and are easy to install and use"

Fujitsu Corporation “Document Scanning in the Office"

 

"Recently, SCI has redesigned several labor intensive processes to shorten cycle times, reduce error rates and improve overall efficiency. These process improvements were considerably challenging given the fact that the source documents originated from our distributed network of over 1,400 locations in North America. The electronic document capture process using iKAN Software’s scanning solution was critical to making these improvements possible."

Easy-to-use time-saver

No one needs a computer degree to understand how to navigate through the iKAN Virtual Document Center. It’s intuitive, easy to understand and easy to use, which means time-saving is a standard feature. You can be up and running on the iKAN Virtual Document Center in hours.

24/7/365 access

Because the iKAN Virtual Document Center is on-line and delivered over the Worldwide Web, you and your team – regardless of location – can immediately access the information needed to make decisions. You can manage your documents from your desktop, your laptop, anywhere in the world.

Full-time, fail-safe security

The iKAN Virtual Document Center is a secure and centralized digital environment where employees can share information. Your access is password-protected. Our servers are proof against hacking and power failures. You get complete privacy for all your documents.

Just-in-case disaster recovery

Documents in paper form can be at risk to all sorts of situations or disasters. By using the iKAN Virtual Document Center as your full-scale electronic repository, it’s easier (and safer) to backup and recover in the event of a disaster. Remember, your “paperwork” is not on your servers. It’s on ours.

Regulatory compliance made easier

The iKAN Virtual Document Center helps you ensure that your legal requirements for archiving, storing, and securing corporate information are met. It gives you a complete audit trail outlining each time a document was accessed, what was accessed, and who accessed it – automatically.

Remote scan and access

We give employees in any location an easy to use way to digitally capture, manage, and share vital information with the rest of the organization. Once images have been scanned from a location, the process of indexing, viewing, and managing the document can take place from any other location with proper security access. No more limitations of only being able to scan, index, or view from a single network or location. The iKAN Virtual Document Center works completely within a Web-enabled browser.

Integrating with existing applications

Our services and products seamlessly integrate into your current business infrastructure, cutting the cost of enterprise-wide expansion. iKAN delivers accurately indexed information to your existing back-end business applications, databases, and document/records management systems. We support more than 20 different third-party products, so you get a lot of choices for your back-end document storage and information lifecycle management needs.

Reduced operating costs

Because the iKAN Virtual Document Center leverages lower-cost/higher-performing technology, you and your company save money by replacing manual processes with electronic ones. Savings include storage fees, document shipping charges, postage, copying, labor costs, retrieval from off-site storage, operational costs, costs related to lost items, and much more.

Increased productivity

The less time an employee has to spend tracking down the information he or she needs, the more time they have to focus on customer service. The iKAN Virtual Document Center doesn’t rely on individuals to keep track of your scanned documents. The service does it for you over the Web. It gives your employees the tools they need to be more productive – and you to be more competitive.

Unlimited scalability

For companies with one workstation or hundreds, the iKAN Virtual Document Center can be deployed and scaled to support hundreds of users. As you grow and your needs change, the iKAN Virtual Document Center can easily adapt to your new requirements.

No proprietary components

The iKAN Virtual Document Center is Web-based. You will never have to install proprietary hardware at each work station. Scanned images contain no proprietary elements and the service does not rely on a proprietary database file or file system. It works with any SQL- or ODBC-based database system.

Improved operational efficiency

Automate your workflow with the iKAN Virtual Document Center. You ensure timelier processing of your documents, especially those which pass through multiple departments for review, approval, processing, storage, and ultimately – retrieval.

Increased revenues

Speed up processing time with the iKAN Virtual Document Center. Electronic documents and associated data can move through your organization more quickly, improving the revenue generation cycle, such as the time it takes to create an invoice based on availability of a paper document.

Ensured file completeness

When you convert your paper documents into electronic images, you can more readily combine them with your existing digital files like spreadsheets, databases, and word processing files. Instead of searching in multiple places for information, every piece of relevant information in a file can be stored in one location: the iKAN Virtual Document Center.

Reduced storage needs

“Go to the storage unit and get me the XYZ file.” No more of that with the iKAN Virtual Document Center. Electronic storage takes up infinitely less space than traditional filing cabinets – and costs far less. We help you reduce or eliminate the valuable space in your office (or some offsite storage unit) dedicated to paper storage.

Cost-effective solutions

With iKAN, you pay a single price for the service and optional features depending on your specific needs. There is no additional cost for expensive viewers. This makes the iKAN Virtual Document Center one of the lowest-priced solutions on the market. And one of the most user-friendly services in the world.
