Improved input output

Captiva Software has released what it says are more powerful versions of its flagship input management software offerings for capture of forms and documents.

FormWare 5.0 includes eEntry, a browser-based data entry feature for streamlined remote data completion. InputAccel 5.0, the newest version of Captiva's document capture solution, offers a range of new abilities including ScaleServer, which offers increased productivity by enabling the processing of significantly more document amounts and types. Both solutions have also been enhanced to work together more seamlessly to take advantage of their synergies, says Captiva.

New features of FormWare 5.0 include:

• FormWare and InputAccel integration, which reportedly enhances how the product modules communicate and improve data access and interoperability;

• new capabilities, including the browser-based eEntry, which leverages XML and HTTP technologies for Web-based completion, key-from-image and field reject repair from any workstation, anywhere in the world; and

• enhancements, including e-mail alert notification, workstation polling, form-level image pre-processing, improved virtual form registration and inverse text optical character recognition and key-from-image abilities.

New features of InputAccel 5.0 include:

• platform improvements, including increased processing speeds, scalability and availability for maximized performance;

• new capabilities, such as color image enhancements, an upgraded OCR module, Web-based monitoring capabilities and new process wizards; and

• back-end connectivity enhancements, which are said to improve InputAccel's integration with enterprise content management systems and other data repositories.
