Fujitsu, FileMaker and Acordex Team Up to Deliver High-Speed, Low-Cost Document Scanning Solution for Small Businesses
Scan 40 pages a minute for less than $2,000
SANTA CLARA, Calif., May 12 -- Fujitsu, FileMaker, Inc. and Acordex today announced the integration of Acordex DocKeep Pro with FileMaker Pro 10, a new imaging database solution for small businesses that revolutionizes high-speed professional scanning on the Macintosh computer with high-speed Fujitsu fi-6130 and fi-6140 document scanners.
Acordex's DocKeep Pro manages the scanning process of the Fujitsu scanner, providing direct control of the scanner's capabilities, without an intermediate software layer. DocKeep Pro users can start a new document or open an existing document and then add, replace, delete or insert pages. DocKeep Pro integrates with FileMaker Pro 10 using FileMaker scripts provided free by Acordex, creating a true programmable imaging system.
Low entry price and higher scanning speeds for small to medium size businesses
Complete systems, including FileMaker Pro 10, DocKeep Pro and the Fujitsu fi-6130 scanner, start at less than $2,000 and scan 40 pages per minute. Higher scanning speeds and adding dozens of users extends the power of this total solution while keeping total costs well under $10,000. Small to medium sized businesses that have needed the power of a professional imaging system, but could not afford the high cost, now have the solution they can afford.
Fujitsu fi-6130 and fi-6140 document scanners are ideal for digitizing large quantities of documents including contracts, accounting documents, personnel, medical or shipping invoices and public documents. Features such as the Automatic Document Feeder, Automatic Blank Page Removal, Double Feed Detection and competitive speeds provide long-term productivity. Additionally, DocKeep instantly attaches these documents to FileMaker Pro 10 data records at full speed.
FileMaker Pro is the world's leading easy-to-use database software that securely shares information with Windows and Mac users--through your network, over the web, and in popular formats such as PDF. FileMaker Pro 10, with a sleek new interface, also provides a rich set of ready-to-use built-in starter solutions so that business users can be instantly productive. Customizing, creating and sharing easy-to-use software solutions are quick and easy with FileMaker's powerful integration with DocKeep Pro.
"Because of their comprehensive line of reliable scanners, Fujitsu has always been the scanner of choice for Acordex," said Ken Rohr, president, Acordex. "Our software has been driving Fujitsu scanners on Macintosh computers since 1989. We have concentrated on high-end imaging solutions in the past, but Fujitsu's new scanners have opened up production level performance for less than half the price of just a year or two ago! Pairing this new hardware power with FileMaker is a natural. FileMaker's scripting tools make it very easy to create a customized, professional document scanning solution."
"Fujitsu products have been running on the Macintosh platform for a number of years, used primarily for ad hoc and transactional scanning," said Doug Rudolph, vice president of product management and business development, Fujitsu Computer Products of America. "Through our partnership with Acordex and FileMaker, we're able to explore the development and deployment of compelling business solutions with much higher performance."
"While you could always insert images into a FileMaker Pro field," said Ryan Rosenberg, vice president, marketing and services, FileMaker, "DocKeep Pro substantially extends our imaging capabilities to efficiently manage very large quantities of document images. Users in such vertical markets as health care, transportation, supply, government and many others will really benefit from this combination of Acordex, Fujitsu and FileMaker technology working together."
