Datacap Wins 2006 AIIM Best of Show Award

SOA-enabling Capture Solution Wins Forms Processing Category

Tarrytown, NY - May 31, 2006 - Datacap Inc. announced today that Taskmaster Web Service won a 2006 AIIM Best of Show Award. Taskmaster Web Service is a flexible set of capture capabilities, including image processing, recognition, validation, and export formatting, that are hosted in a Web Service, simplifying integration.

“We are delighted that Taskmaster Web Service has been selected for the prestigious AIIM ‘Best of Show Award,’” said Scott Blau, CEO of Datacap.“This award confirms that the industry-wide trend toward SOA-enabling solutions will extend into document capture. It also recognizes Datacap’s continued innovation and leadership.”

The Best of Show Award is presented to the ECM hardware and software technologies on exhibit at the AIIM 2006 Conference and Exhibition that demonstrate exceptional capabilities and quality, and show evidence of significant ROI (Return on Investment) potential. A panel of 22 industry experts evaluated the products.

Taskmaster Web Service decouples the document capture processing engines, such as image processing, OCR, ICR, validations, and release formatting, from the capture platform. Users can now take advantage of these best-of-breed engines from a variety of capture environments, including Kofax Ascent Capture, FileNet Capture, and internally-developed capture solutions.

The Web Service is an open, procedural rules environment.New processing can be added to this environment transparently via standard Microsoft VBScript actions.Once loaded into the Service, new recognition engines or specialized export capabilities, for example, are then available to all clients accessing the Service.

A typical use of the Web Service is in the implementation of distributed capture applications with centralized recognition.Each remote location can run autonomously from the others, while still sharing the recognition resources made available in a centralized Service.An early adopter of the Taskmaster Web Service uses it to identify the addressee of faxed documents managed by a proprietary application.
