Bikeathon/Walkathon - Monday, May 15

On Monday, May 15, from 5 PM to sundown, Datacap will sponsor a benefit ride/walk through Philadelphia's famous Fairmount Park, starting at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. The course follows the Schuylkill River up to the Falls Bridge and doubles back down the river to the Art Museum.  The excursion winds along past scenic overlooks, sculptures and the picturesque "Boathouse Row" where Philadelphia's elite rowers train.

To participate in the "Cycle Faster Bikeathon/Walkathon," visit http://cyclefaster.datacap.com. The fee to register is $25, which is tax deductible and will be donated in full to the Lance Armstrong Foundation. All participants will receive a free "Cycle Faster" T-shirt, a Lance Armstrong Foundation gift bag, and will be entered to win a Felt F-4C road bike, named "Best Bike in 2006" by Bicycle Magazine. Those who raise $250 or more also will receive a custom "Cycle Faster" cycle racing jersey.

Post Event Celebration - Monday, May 15

After the Bikeathon/Walkathon, beginning at 8 PM, everyone's invited to cool down at the Bishop's Collar pub, a cyclist's hangout just off the park, where winners of the pledge competition will be announced. The event is free for Bikeathon/Walkathon partcipants. If you can only make the party, a $10 deductable donation goes to LAF and gets you one free drink!  Come celebrate with us for a good cause.

Not Going To AIIM?

Even if you're not going to Philadelphia, you can still be a part of the program. You can pledge a Datacap rider, or any of the many sponsors who will be riding, by visiting http://cyclefaster.datacap.com .

Cycle Faster Time Trials at AIIM Expo 2006

The fundraising continues during the AIIM Conference & Expo, May 16-18 at the Pennsylvania Convention Center. Datacap's booth (#212) will host an intense one-mile ride on a racing cycle attached to a computerized trainer. The virtual course will be broadcast on video for spectators to cheer on their favorite riders, includes several grueling inclines that will leave riders gasping for breath.

Winners will be announced at the conclusion of the AIIM Conference & Expo on Thursday, May 18. Proceeds from the "Cycle Faster" program will be donated in the name of each winner's company. Additional support and equipment is being provided by Philadelphia's premiere cycling center, Bicycle Therapy (www.bicycletherapy.com).

Datacap Releases Taskmaster 6.5

Upgrades Available for Datacap Customers May 1

On May 1, Datacap will release Taskmaster 6.5, the latest version of its flagship data and document capture software.  The new release extends Taskmaster flexibility with features that accelerate the setup, testing and implementation of new applications, and significant innovations in Intelligent Document Recognition (IDR).

To see a recorded webinar on Taskmaster 6.5, click here .

"Datacap has long been committed to delivering capture solutions that are both flexible and easy to configure," said Datacap CEO Scott Blau. "Taskmaster 6.5 is a notch up in flexibility, with a big step forward in ease of use. Taskmaster 6.5 innovations such as the Application Wizard, and Intellocate, are a direct response to customer requirements."

Application Wizard

Datacap Taskmaster is the only capture solution with the flexibility to build custom applications and adapt to a changing environment without expensive programming. With a vast library of Reusable Rules, Taskmaster set-up is simply a matter of assembling rules to control every aspect of capture, including scanning, recognition, and export formatting. New documents can be supported quickly with the Application Wizard, which guides users through the set-up process.  In Taskmaster 6.5, the Application Wizard also greatly simplifies the transfer of an application from a test environment to full production.

Intellocate Automates On-The-Fly Set-up of New Documents

Taskmaster 6.5 delivers a more efficient method for handling new versions of highly variable documents like invoices.  The process of setting up a new invoice type becomes part of the standard verification process with the new "Intellocate" feature.  Leveraging "Click 'N Key" - a user interface feature that allows a user to click on the document image to capter the recognized value of the data in that location. Intellocate stores the data location for future invoices of the same format. This way new invoice formats can be automatically incorporated into a production system without any administrative overhead.

Enhanced Invoice Capture

In addition to Intellocate, Taskmaster addresses a number of requests for the fast and accurate processing of invoices with Taskmaster for Invoices. The accuracy of Datacap's unique Fingerprint-vendor ID has been further enhanced.  Fingerprint ID or matching is now a two-step process combining image analysis with OCR results. Taskmaster 6.5 now fully supports multiple page invoices, even when "header" data, such as the invoice total, is on the last page of an invoice

Availability

Datacap Taskmaster 6.5 begins shipping May 1. Current users of Taskmaster under maintenance are eligible for a free upgrade.  For more information, visit www.datacap.com, click on Support, and follow the instructions for Request Software Upgrade.

Captaris Integration and Partnership

Support for Right Fax 9.0 and Alchemy

The renewed interest in compliance has resulted in a resurgence for Right Fax.  There was a great deal of interest in Datacap capture solutions among end-users and integrators due to the desire to reduce the inefficiencies of manual data entry.
