Scanning into Sharepoint

getsix® Services scan, classify and automatically index your documents into SharePoint installed in your premises or to your hosted Microsoft Office 365 or SharePoint Online

Since the release of Microsoft SharePoint there has been a dramatic increase in the adoption of this technology by companies of all sizes. In the past, SharePoint has been seen mainly as an intranet solution for sharing MS Office documents between employees, however, the new features in SharePoint 2013 have moved it into the realm of document management and enterprise content management (ECM). Many companies are now realising that they also need to store and manage their paper-based documents within the same system.

This is when our service is required. Our scanning services is the answer by offering low-cost, easy to use solutions for scanning and indexing paper documents.

getsix® Service provides all the power and flexibility needed to capture and OCR all types of paper documents – forms, contracts, invoices, correspondence – and transfer them directly into SharePoint, fully indexed and in the correct document libraries. It can be run in unattended mode, automatically importing and indexing images that have been scanned to a network folder from MFPs or other network scanning devices. To allow users to validate or correct more critical data before exporting to SharePoint, it can also be run in attended mode.

File accessibility

When document scanning is required, organisations looking to improve handling and productivity approach getsix® for comprehensive and convenient solutions. We can fulfil your needs with a fully text-searchable, indexed document system – Microsoft SharePoint – which we name our ‘Customer Extranet’ and we host for you on a SaaS basis. The access to your scanned documents is via a simple web-browser based system, arranged for however many you users you need to authorise. Each document has an audit trail log and can be version-controlled, shared, annotated or redacted where appropriate.

Storage space and costs

Archives take up a lot of physical room, which can be redeployed for more profitable purposes when digitising is complete. Entire floors of office space have been liberated by companies having their document files and archives digitised by getsix® Services. We can store your documents in our secure cloud-based Microsoft SharePoint repository where they can be accessed remotely via check-in/check-out functions from any location or in your Microsoft Office 365 or Microsoft SharePoint Online Environment hosted by Microsoft.

Apart from taking up a lot of room, archives can be expensive to maintain, especially if any special handling or climatic conditions are necessary for preservation. When you compare the ongoing yearly cost per square foot of your paper document storage with the likely project cost of a back-file scanning project with getsix® Services, you may conclude that the convenience and time saved more than justifies the budget.

Using the latest Kofax document scanning software, we scan high volumes of just about any document:

  • Sales orders, purchase orders and invoices
  • Reply cards, surveys and questionnaires
  • Application and registration forms, insurance claim forms
  • Deeds and conveyancing documentation
  • Time sheets, CVs and employee records
  • Cheques, tickets and receipts
  • Proof of delivery documents, bills of lading, goods received notes

Quality and efficiency

Thanks to several completed scanning projects, getsix® has a wealth of experience in the digitalisation and indexing of paper archives of different types and sizes. This foundation ensures customers to receive professional support in the definition of optimal scanning parameters (e.g. resolution, file formats, indexing, output formats) as well as the guarantee that scanning will be performed in an extremely efficient, high quality manner within the agreed project timeframe.

With the getsix® scanning services, customers benefit from secure and timely digitalisation of documents as well as a favourable cost-benefit ratio. Investment costs for infrastructures and personnel can be avoided; the costs are based on the actual quantity of documents. Qualified employees, ongoing quality controls with corresponding reporting and utilisation of cutting-edge infrastructure round off getsix® scanning services.

getsix® Services use the Kofax VirtualRescan (VRS) Technology:

When scanning documents, the quality of the scanned images is not always optimal: some images are vague, to light or to dark, crooked or almost unreadable. Thanks to Kofax VRS it is not necessary anymore to set up the scanner and rescan the documents over and over to obtain a good image.

Kofax VRS functions as an electronic check-point for scanned documents: while the images are being processed, VRS performs different controls on each image. VRS checks the images on clearness, contrast, sharpness and alignment. Each abnormality is immediately corrected by VRS, in order to produce the best readable images.

Furthermore, the file size of the produced images is smaller than without VRS.
