Cutting the Cost of Capture
Ralph Gammon
Users of scan and capture technology are embracing automation features new and old to lower the cost of indexing and extracting data from document images. Companies including American Electric Power, CUNA Mutual Group and First Health share some of their most effective techniques for eliminating manual tasks, reducing errors and cutting data entry and quality control costs.

Recognition Gains Ground
Doug Henschen
Many think of imaging as mature technology, but huge strides have been made in recent years in simplifying document and data capture. Recognition technologies are faster and more accurate than ever, and many systems can now automate semistructured and even unstructured documents that have always required expensive manual data entry.

Transform Document & Data Capture Software Guide
Doug Henschen
Our annual guide to document and data capture systems lists 45 products covering a range of applications. Whether you need to capture documents, process forms or both, you'll find a product for every purpose.

The Buzz Around Electronic Forms
Penny Lunt
Microsoft and Adobe have whipped up new interest in e-forms with high-profile entries in a small but growing market. We poll top vendors about the latest developments and provide a detailed guide to 11 e-forms products.


Business Rules
Can Process Modeling Really Replace EDI?

Bruce Silver
The battle over business process modeling choreography standards is over, and Business Process Execution Language (BPEL) is the winner. What does this mean for businesses? While BPEL standardizes B2B process integration, it ignores business semantics such as which data elements are required in a purchase order or an invoice. The goal of defining a real-world B2B platform using Web services has yet to be reached.

Penny Lunt
