Capture Components Unveils Scan to the Cloud Products for Google Docs and Box.net

Cloud computing services are the most sought-after services in the industry these days as they provide organizations with redundancy, cost reduction and much more. In an effort to fit user’s needs for capturing documents to the Cloud, Capture Components unveiled new 'Scan to the Cloud' products for Google (News - Alert) Docs and Box.net.

According to a press release, Capture Components, LLC announced the release of two new scan to the cloud products, namely ccScan for Google Docs and ccScan for Box.

As an approved listing on the Google Apps Marketplace, the ccScan for Google Docs is a full-featured capture application that facilitates users to scan, import, identify, store and share documents directly to Google Docs.

Traditionally, folders created in Google Docs; the documents are scanned to a folder, named; and then these documents are uploaded manually to Google Docs folders.

The ccScan for Google Docs eliminates these steps and performs all these functions in a single step. The ccScan can automatically create and name files and folders with barcode and macros and establish hierarchical folder storage schemes.

As an approved listing on Box Apps, the ccScan for Box can scan documents directly to the Box. With the help of this product, scanned documents can be automatically named, uploaded to automatically create as well as named folders at Box in a single, timesaving step.

In addition, Box document features properties such as title, description, tags, sharing mode, naming conflict resolution, user notification and email can be pre-configured or entered at scanning time as opposed to manually adding these properties later.

As a provider of easy-to-use software products to capture, classify, and store information to the cloud, Capture Components has facilitated a simpler user experience, increased business efficiency, and reduced administrative overhead by integrating its ccScan with Google and Box.

According to a press release, the ccScan products (for both platforms) can separate multi-page documents automatically with predefined barcodes, or barcodes created by the user. With the help of these products, documents can be redacted and annotated before storing them.

Apart from featuring the capability to share a high-throughput scanner in a "kiosk" environment with automatic logout, the ccScan products can also create searchable PDFs with an optional OCR engine, which also allows zonal OCR for convenient indexing.

Featuring a configurable User Interface (UI), the ccSacan products can modify the supplied default set of jobs or create new jobs, decide which fields the operator should enter and which fields should have default values.

Apart from time saving feature, the ccSacan also provides money saving feature with no per-page or click charges, and no volume limits.

"Capture Components brings document capture to the Cloud, allowing users to quickly and easily scan documents directly to their Cloud provider," said Clark Fegraus, co-founder and CTO, Capture Components, in a statement. In addition to scanning using any TWAIN scanner, ccScan also has powerful ad hoc importing and bulk importing features where tens, hundreds or even thousands of documents can be uploaded in one step with wildcard specifications.
