WASHINGTON, -- AIIM International Conference and Expo @ Info360 -- EMC Corporation (NYSE: EMC), the world leader in information infrastructure solutions, today announced the newest version of its EMC® Captiva® intelligent enterprise capture solution that transforms paper documents, faxes and other content into digital data used by enterprise applications. Its breakthrough levels of performance and intelligence include the new Production Auto Learning capability, which enables the system to learn document properties while processing, allowing organizations to realize the benefits of document capture faster than ever before.

Captiva with Production Auto Learning: Intelligence, Speed and Efficiency
Captiva's new Production Auto Learning feature enables the system to automatically classify and extract important business information from documents as they are being rapidly scanned, dramatically accelerating the capture processes for invoices, loan documents, policy claims, and many other document types. With Production Auto Learning, Captiva leapfrogs competitive solutions that often rely on project administrators to create templates up front or human operators to perform time-consuming extra steps during validation in order to indicate documents properties. By automating template creation, Captiva now shortens project setup from days or weeks to a matter of hours, reducing configuration time up to 90%.
Enterprise Performance Highlights of Captiva 6.5
Internal benchmark testing shows a single Captiva server can now process more than 10 million images per day, meeting the requirements of the largest enterprises. To help customers maximize their performance, EMC includes a performance and tuning guide that details benchmark testing performed and provides guidelines to help size a Captiva capture system. Captiva also features new customization and integration options that simplify deployment using drag-and-drop processes, providing organizations with the ability to easily deploy capture solutions of any size in the shortest amount of time.
In addition, this new version further helps companies with global operations with additional localized user interfaces in French, Italian, German, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, Simplified Chinese and Korean. Captiva now includes support for more than 100 single- and double-byte language recognitions, including Simplified Chinese, Japanese and Korean.
