Exchange Data

Exchange information rapidly with other agencies and departments.

Not only does PaperWise allow users to distribute documents with the touch of a single hotkey, but they are given the tools needed to complete all previous paper-based tasks with improved efficiency, accuracy and visibility at every step.

• Instant access is one of the primary benefits of a document management system like PaperWise. Users can view any information contained in the system in a matter of seconds.
• Document assembly is a method of collecting or reorganizing information from multiple sources into a new document. PaperWise can quickly and easily collect source documents usually by sending or dropping them to an assembly area. These features allow users to select single pages from a multi-page source, reorder, annotate, add text, and finally print or email the new document directly from the assembly area. Users also have the ability to rapidly send the new document back to the system.
• Forms recognition software aids further processing capabilities by allowing users to scan physical forms into the system and fill them out electronically. The system automatically creates text boxes for typing or data entry directly on the scanned form. The resulting electronic document can easily be routed according to workflows or business processes, while being controlled and monitored by the PaperWise system.
• OCR(Optical Character Recognition) technologies allow documents scanned into the system as images to be converted to editable text. This function saves labor by avoiding tedious keying of data to recreate a document into an electronic version. In the past, if a form or document needed to be changed or updated, completely redoing it would have been necessary. But PaperWise can now revolutionize this task.
• Annotation & redaction capabilities allow users to mark up, highlight and underline the content of any document or conceal sensitive information without changing the original. These artifacts are contained in a separate overlying layer that is easily displayed for viewing or printing. The original document remains permanent and unmodified.
• Streamlined output tools allow users to quickly and easily output documents. PaperWise makes it easy to group, print, queue, fax or email documents with minimal effort. Output can be accomplished with a variety of output formats such as one-click conversion to PDF.
