Distributed Capture Webinar Sponsored by Datacap and TAWPI

Recorded version available

Would distributed scanning or indexing over the Internet help your organization streamline processes or save money? The web seminar, "Understanding the Value of Distributed Capture," held on December 14, analyzed this question. Industry analyst Harvey Spencer not only predicts a surge in distributed capture, but he provides helpful guidelines to determine the benefits of distributed capture.

Co-sponsored by Datacap and The Association for Work Process Improvement (TAWPI), the 45-minute webinar includes a presentation by Doug Bowman, VP of Research and Development for Taylor, Bean & Whitaker, a Datacap customer scanning thousands of mortgage documents over the Internet daily.

Datacap demonstrates Taskmaster Web's unique features that enable distributed scanning and indexing. After a helpful check-list from Harvey Spencer, a Q&A session delves into the specific interests of attendees. To view this and other Datacap webinars, please visit Datacap's Webinar page.

Travel Sciences Markets Taskmaster Web Application to British Virgin Islands

Helps BVI Tourist Board Gather Visitor Data

Datacap reseller, Travel Sciences Inc., specializes in business-oriented technology solutions for cruise and tour operators, vacation packagers and retail travel distributors. In November, British Virgin Islands (BVI) selected a Travel Sciences web-scanning solution to help increase their market intelligence capabilities.

Visitors complete surveys upon arrival and departure. Datacap Taskmaster Web's distributed scanning capabilities enables the surveys to be scanned on site, at BVI ports of entry, located on its many islands, including Tortola, Virgin Gorda, Anegada and Jost van Dyke. Taskmaster will automate data entry, including machine reading custom forms designed to obtain key market intelligence. Rapid access to market intelligence will help BVI reach key demographic groups more effectively and attract new visitors.

"Integrating Taskmaster into our technology environment enables us to offer a cost-effective solution to overseas tourism boards that reduces manual data-entry overhead costs, decreases processing time, and provides fast data accessibility and reporting," says Joe Mazzarella, president of Travel Sciences. "The Taskmaster Web component adds distributed scanning to our capabilities, which in the case of the geographically dispersed British West Indies, helped us meet their needs."
