Connecting Document Scanning with Microsoft SharePoint
Nashua, NH, February 9, 2009 — Business and IT professionals are increasingly looking at how to leverage their existing investment and knowledgebase in Microsoft® SharePoint® to achieve success with business process management (BPM) initiatives.
A new interview with Mauro Cardarelli, director of Portals and Collaboration at Vitale Caturano, examines strategies for linking document scanning with SharePoint to eliminate business process bottlenecks.

Cardarelli sees great value to be gained by automating paper-based processes within SharePoint. According to Cardarelli, “Adding document scanning capabilities to SharePoint lets you place document capture activities at the points most appropriate in the workflow. A product like the eCopy Connector for Microsoft SharePoint plugs in nicely with SharePoint because it makes scanning easy and has document imaging capabilities like OCR to create searchable text – a feature not native to SharePoint.”
When looking at how organizations can leverage document scanning to advance BPM, Cardarelli advised, “The people involved in a specific business process are the ones best able to determine at what step in that process paper should be added to a workflow. Companies don’t want to hire administrators to add paper into applications. The faster and more reliably business process participants can add paper into SharePoint, the more quickly the entire organization can leverage that data out of SharePoint.”
