Captovation Releases eCapture Version 4.4
Newest version includes enhancements to multiple eCapture components

Minneapolis, MN, December 31, 2003 -- Captovation, a leading provider of production-level and browser-based document capture software, released today the latest version of their flagship eCapture product.  Highlighting the latest version are product enhancements made to the eCapture components ecScan, ecCommit Server, ecImport Server, and Captovation Check Capture.

Currently, eCapture’s production-level scanning component, ecScan, supports both ISIS^® and Adrenaline^® scanning interfaces.  Both of these interfaces come with a variety of image processing features, but previously only ecScan for ISIS supported document image thumbnails.  Thumbnails help to easily distinguish document types during review, and allow the user to quickly re-order images within a batch via drag-and-drop.  This latest version of eCapture includes thumbnail support for the Adrenaline version of ecScan as well. 

ecCommit Server, which allows users to schedule batch commits into electronic document management systems (EDMS), now has a new user interface (UI).  The UI is similar to the other eCapture server components, ecImport Server and ecAutoFile Server.  This was done to make the programs’ UIs more consistent, which helps to reduce training time. 

As the proliferation of document imaging takes place in corporations throughout the world, transmission of document images between companies is increasing.  For example, images are sometimes sent as attachments via email.  ecImport Server, which can import images from a variety of sources, can now import image attachments from specified email accounts .  This technology may also be useful for companies using multi-function copier/scanner devices that have the ability to email images.  These multi-function devices can be used to create a low-cost distributed capture environment, where ecImport Server is used to import the images into the eCapture system. 

An administrator configures ecImport Server to connect to an email account.  The program then checks for all emails that include image attachments and retrieves them.  The attachments are then imported into eCapture and made into an eCapture batch where they can be indexed and committed into any EDMS.  The email message is then deleted or forwarded to another email account.

The enhancements to Captovation Check Capture include an itemized check-listing grid, which displays the relevant MICR data (i.e., Routing Number, Account Number, Check Number, and Amount) of each check after scanning.  The grid also displays a running total of the number and amount value of all checks scanned. Banks, credit unions, and other financial institutions can use the grid to cross-reference the batch total receipt from their encoding machine.  If the batch totals do not match the batch receipt, Check Capture can be configured to not allow the checks to be committed into an EDMS.

In an effort to strengthen check scanner support, Captovation Check Capture now supports the recently released Canon CR-180 check transport.  This check scanner offers duplex scanning speeds of 180 checks per minute (CPM), a built-in check jogger to keep checks in alignment, and a built-in imprinter that can add up to 48 characters of endorsement information to a check as it is scanned. 

“At Captovation, we have always been proactive when it comes to improving our flagship eCapture product,” said Ken Peterka, Captovation’s President and CEO.  “In today’s fast-paced business world, companies are looking to get as much out of their software as possible.  It is important to us that eCapture has all the features and functionality they need to improve their overall business processes.”
