Announces Support for Castelle’s FaxPress™
Fax Server Minneapolis, MN, April 4,
2002 -- Captovation, which develops production-level and Internet-based
document capture software for the Enterprise, announced today integration
support between their flagship document capture product eCapture and
Castelle’s FaxPress Fax Server network appliance.
This integration allows eCapture to automatically import incoming faxes
from a FaxPress network appliance. Once
imported, the fax images are processed by eCapture and archived into an
electronic document management system (EDMS). This integration was made
possible because of the eCapture component called ecImport Server.
ecImport Server can import images from fax servers, microfiche
conversions, multi-function copiers, and images scanned with third-party
software. Captovation developed a
Castelle FaxPress Import Provider to facilitate direct integration between
ecImport Server and FaxPress. “The seamless integration
between ecImport Server and FaxPress shows the adaptability of eCapture,” said
Ken Peterka, President and CEO of Captovation, Inc. “This level of integration is aligned with our goal of
providing document capture software that adapts to a customer’s
environment.” Companies that have
implemented an electronic document management system sometimes need images from
incoming faxes stored in their EDMS as well. Business-critical documents such as
invoices, insurance claims, and purchase orders are often sent via fax from
company to company. This allows them to retrieve faxes quickly and easily, and
ensures that electronic copies of incoming faxes are permanently saved.
However, the file format of fax images can vary, which means the user may
not have the ability to view them with their imaging system.
ecImport Server converts the fax image from its native state into Group 4
TIFF (Tagged Image File Format), which can be easily viewed my most electronic
document management systems. By importing the images,
companies don’t have to print the fax and then scan it.
The process of printing and scanning a fax can further degrade image
quality. An
administrator uses the Captovation provided FaxPress Import Provider to create
ecImport jobs, which retrieve incoming faxes from a Castelle FaxPress appliance.
Configuring a job involves selecting the name of the FaxPress server that
faxes will be imported from along with associated security access settings.
When a FaxPress Provider job is executed, it will check any FaxPress
users Inbox for faxes. These jobs can be scheduled within ecImport Server to
occur every minute, hour, or an exact time such as 12:00 a.m. A single ecImport
Server can be configured to import from multiple FaxPress servers through the
creation of multiple jobs. After the fax has been
completely imported, the fax is deleted from the FaxPress Inbox.
A comment will be generated for the newly created batch in eCapture
consisting of the date the fax was received and the Remote Terminal ID of the
machine that sent the fax. If an error occurs in the process, an email notification will
be sent to an administrator notifying him or her that a critical error has been
detected. About
