Fuji Xerox Co. Ltd., the leading provider of document and knowledge management solutions and Captaris International (Asia), a leading provider of business information delivery solutions announced today that they have developed a number of joint solutions that offer "true" workflow to Hong Kong companies.
Based on Fuji Xerox' ApeosPort family of digital multifunction devices, which was introduced in 2005, the Captaris-ApeosPort solutions drive a deep wedge between companies that offer simple document flow, and Fuji Xerox which now offers "true" workflow.
"Multifunction devices can no longer be regarded as isolated pieces of office equipment," said Debby Chan, Director of Marketing at Fuji Xerox. "Rather, they should be viewed as information portals that integrate manually processed paperwork with electronic documents and applications, bringing new levels of efficiency and manageability to the office and to the business as a whole.
"Our relationship with Captaris takes our document management solution strategy to the next level. We took a major step last year when we announced our ApeosPort multifunction systems. Our partnership with Captaris places us in a different league from document flow to true workflow enabling us to integrate and automate processes from email to CRM, ERP and eWorkflow applications, to eDMS and other office productivity tools such as electronic fax."
Willie Lum, Regional Manager at Captaris said: "Traditionally electronic document management and eWorkflow systems have been separated from the paper process. Most businesses still rely heavily on manual, paper-based processes needing a large amount of manpower to type information into computers, scan documents to capture them digitally and upload data from documents and spreadsheets. This can be particularly onerous when multiple people and locations are involved.
"Captaris specialises in integrated business information delivery and process automation and the Captaris-ApeosPort solutions are changing the future of workflow by finally removing the most arduous, time-consuming and expensive aspects for good."
The following Fuji Xerox Apeos-Captaris solutions are already available:
· Purchasing-to-payment requests for all organisations
· Customer application processing (e.g. Loans, Credit Cards, Fund Subscriptions) for banks and financial service providers
· Document kiosks all-in-one multifunction device with terminal access to Web-based document management system
· Advanced electronic fax solution based on Captaris' Rightfax server integrated with the ApeosPort multifunction device
