Captovation Announces Latest Support for Legato’s ApplicationXtender™
Support includes multiple enhancements for direct integration between
Captovation’s eCapture and ApplicationXtender

Minneapolis, MN, March 1, 2004 -- Captovation, which develops production-level and Internet-based document and check capture solutions for electronic document/content management systems, announced today new, direct integration support between their eCapture product and Legato’s ApplicationXtender (AX).  The integration is facilitated by an eCapture Data Provider (EDP), and supports AX version 4.0 or later including the new AX 5.0 release. Captovation’s eCapture provides Legato ApplicationXtender customers with production-level document scanning and indexing components, distributed web capture capabilities, automated bar code recognition, as well as a check imaging system.

The new integration support includes an eCapture/AX template manager.  The template manager allows an administrator to create templates that map data elements between eCapture and AX.  The new user-interface for the template manager greatly simplifies the integration implementation between eCapture and AX.

The eCapture/AX EDP also now includes support for multiple ApplicationXtender data stores.  This allows eCapture to commit (archive) document images to numerous AX databases that have been configured within a customer’s environment.  Furthermore, the administrator can configure the template to archive images to Legato’s DiskXtender via RPC (remote procedure call). 

Captovation’s integration support for AX includes support for AX key reference fields as well.  These fields allow other data values to be imported into AX based upon corresponding data within a corporate database.  For example, if a social security number is defined as a key reference field, any other data relative to that SSN, such as first and last name, will automatically be populated within AX.  This helps to reduce data entry since only the SSN would have to be entered while indexing in eCapture. 

Additionally, the eCapture/AX EDP also includes the ability to create multiple document records per physical document. This feature is useful because it allows multiple documents to be created within AX that all point to the same image(s); thereby reducing storage requirements.  Lastly, the new EDP allows backup images of committed documents to be created within the user’s eCapture commit folder.

Captovation provides the eCapture/AX EDP free to all eCapture customers that are current with software maintenance. The EDP utilizes the AX SDK to seamlessly archive the documents.  During the batch commit process, the EDP macro moves the document images and associated index information from eCapture and into AX.  During this process, the EDP will verify that a corresponding ApplicationXtender application exists and that the fields are compatible.
