6th February 2017 … Toshiba TEC has announced the launch of a suite of Document Workflow software that simplifies integrated document management. This software allows the smooth integration of the e-BRIDGE Next series of Toshiba Multifunctional Products (MFPs) into the industry-leading document management system, DocuWare. The smart, digitalised document processing improves overall efficiency, eliminating the need to maintain paper-based document workflows.

Based on Toshiba’s Open Platform MetaScan technology, the new software connector allows the scanning, indexing and archiving of any documents in one seamless process directly via the MFP. Scanned documents, including Meta-data in XML format, are automatically transferred to the central DocuWare document pool for further processing.

“The combined strength of the DocuWare application and innovative Toshiba technology enable a new level of office productivity,” said Jeremy Spencer, Marketing Director at Toshiba. “The connector extends the value of the MFP for any company by transforming it into an input device for adding paper-based information to an enterprise’s central intelligence.”

All document management and distribution processes within a company can be accomplished directly via the MFP, leading to improved staff efficiency, increased process performance and securing a better ROI from a long-term investment in MFP technology.

The benefits include:

• Integrates with all DocuWare supported office workflow
• Appropriate for all document types: letters, faxes, reports, etc.
• Easy configuration and intuitive graphical user interface
• Supports MetaScan (XML) and Enhanced Scan Templates of Toshiba e-BRIDGE Next MFP
• Simplifies indexing & searching of documents
