What is it?
SimplifyScan for Sharp - SimplifyScan offers you the possibility to easily integrate
scanned documents into your business processes.
Capture your documents from anywhere and store
them directly in the application you use, whether
this is a Windows environment or any other CRM,
DMS, ERP, legal or financial application. All scanned
documents are text searchable and easy to retrieve.

Sharp multifunctional
Capture and scan your documents from a Sharp multifunction
device. SimplifyScan supports all OSA enabled
Sharp devices. SimplifyScan has been designed
in the same user friendly way as the Sharp multifunctional
to ensure an easy scan experience. Email
Besides scanning from a multifunctional device,
it's also possible to convert TIFF, PDF or JPEG
attachments from an email. Within SimplifyScan,
it possible
to point each scan template to an email address. Every email which enters this
mail box will be checked by SimplifyScan. When there is an attachment, SimplifyScan
imports the attachments, deletes the email and converts this attachment to
a searchable PDF file and stores this PDF file
in every preferred location.
Capture documents from a Windows folder
In certain circumstances a user may not use a
multifunction device only for scanning. For
these cases, the 'Winshare In' module for SimplifyScan
has been created.
This module makes it possible to define an import folder which SimplifyScan
retrieves the scanned documents and converts
and transfers the document(s) to a destination
chosen. This module can convert JPG and TIFF to a file format supported
by the
Kofax Ascent Capture
Kofax Ascent Capture automates information captured
from scanned paper or imported electronic documents.

and then routed to SimplifyScan. SimplifyScan
can archive this document based on
the information which is extracted from the document. The store location of
this document can have a variety of destinations
such as a Windows file server or
database. This means that all scanned documents are interpreted and stored
