New Taskmaster 7

Complete Document Capture and Forms Processing Flexibility
This major upgrade of Taskmaster expands the range of best of breed capture capabilities and technologies from which you can choose. This freedom of choice results in an optimal solution to meet your dynamic business needs. Taskmaster 7 adds support for a number of best-of-breed technologies that expand and simplify capture for end-users. These include web services for SOA, Microsoft .NET support, Parascript natural handwriting recognition, Visioneer One Touch scanning, which enables scan and capture with the push of a button, ABBYY OCR recognition, and Wordfire Classify document classification and identification based on Latent Semantic Indexing technology from Content Analyst Co. All of these capabilities are easily configured and managed with Datacap Rules.


Taskmaster 7: What's New in SOA and Flexible Data Capture?

 

Datacap Rules Expanded


Taskmaster 7 now includes an intuitive rules management interface called Datacap Studio for non-programmers to configure and test capture applications. End users can now assemble and run new applications before implementing them, saving considerable time and expense. Datacap Rules enable organizations to quickly and cost-effectively implement robust forms processing and indexing solutions without expensive programming. Furthermore, when documents, regulations or business requirements change, Taskmaster users can quickly adapt, simply by making changes in the rules controller.

  • Datacap Studio:  .NET application where non-programmers can configure and test capture applications. End users can now assemble and run new applications before implementing them, saving considerable time and expense.

Rulerunner Web Service for SOA 


Taskmaster 7 further embraces Services Oriented Architecture. Taskmaster 7 features Rulerunner Web Service, a rules-driven Web Service from which any capture function can be called. Users simply configure the capture functions they require with Datacap Studio. The result is an SOA capture strategy that can be implemented by a business analyst. Further extending capture flexibility, Datacap customers can use Rulerunner Service to configure and run capture systems not only within the Taskmaster platform, but from other capture platforms as well. For example, users of Kofax Ascent Capture or FileNet Capture can add recognition engines, validations or automatic document classification without having to replace their systems. They simply use the Rulerunner Web Service to call the added functionality.

Microsoft .NET Support


Taskmaster Web, included with Taskmaster 7, was re-implemented using Microsoft .NET. All popular browsers, including Firefox, Opera, and others are now supported for monitoring capture workflows. The Browser user interface can easily be customized using a text editor. Datacap Studio the new configure and test environment for Datacap Rules, is also a Microsoft .NET implementation.

Invoice Processing Further Simplified


For customers processing invoices and other accounts payable documents, Taskmaster 7 includes Dynamic Natural Analysis (DNA) specifically developed to simplify highly-variable document capture. DNA eliminates invoice set-up and enables single-pass verification for both known and unknown invoice layouts. This speeds implementation and reduces ongoing maintenance. All detail line items for a new invoice layout can be captured and their location stored after the user has identified the first line item, further streamlining the set-up process.
