Ascent Capture Internet Server (ACIS)

What it does:

Ascent Capture Internet Server (ACIS) enables organizations to transfer documents and data captured at branch offices to a central Ascent Capture installation via a corporate network or the Internet. By embracing distributed capture, organizations can react more quickly to incoming information, reduce costs, enhance security and improve productivity versus paper- or CD-based processes.

Organizations need ACIS if they:

• Have numerous branch offices which regularly ship paper documents, forms or CDs to headquarters
• Want to kick start business processes as soon as documents are scanned at branch offices, rather than wait for them to arrive at a central site.
• Seek to reduce or eliminate the cost, delay and security issues involved in shipping paper documents, forms or CDs to a central scan or data entry site for processing.

With ACIS you can:

• Equip branch offices with inexpensive Ascent Capture remote licenses, and enable them to do their own document scanning.
  
• Get documents and data into a workflow faster, accelerating the flow of information throughout an organization.
  
• Stop scrambling daily to meet deadlines for shipping documents to headquarters, and reduce or eliminate the cost and delays these shipments incur.
  
• Put the power of document imaging into the hands of branch offices, but continue to maintain control from a central site.
  
• Institute tighter security, as sensitive paper documents or CDs no longer need be shipped outside the office and handled by non-employees (e.g., couriers).
  
• Route single documents or batches to multiple locations before transfer to headquarters.

Key features of ACIS include:

• System-wide synchronization. Configuration changes made at headquarters automatically download at all branch offices.
  
• Central site controls the amount and type of processing scanned documents undergo at branch offices, and the timing of data transfer to headquarters (e.g., real-time or in batches when network traffic is low).
  
• Routing/workflow capabilities.
  
• Quick ROI with reduction or elimination of overnight shipping charges.
