Scan to SharePoint

Kodak has announced that it will allow companies to use Vizit Scan-to-SharePoint solution free using the SmartTouch feature available on select Kodak desktop scanners.

The combination of Kodak scan solutions and Atalasoft’s Scan-to-SharePoint “helps make information from paper documents available more easily accessible, readable and usable for SharePoint libraries.”

Scan-to-SharePoint, when combined with a Kodak scanner, enabled users to configure shortcuts to SharePoint libraries and provides distributed push scanning. The software is compatible with Windows XP and Vista and is free.

STS for Kodak is completely free and works perfectly well without any other software. You might want your System Admin to install Vizit SP on your SharePoint server to enhance your capture experience with integrated indexing, viewing, cleanup, and markup – but it’s not a requirement.

Anyone who owns a Kodak Scanner with the Smart Touch feature and stores documents in SharePoint 2007 can benefit from Vizit STS. STS for Kodak Scanners quickly scans documents directly into SharePoint with the press of one button on the scanner, and two mouse clicks in the Software.

Through the simplicity of a single touch, businesses can rapidly and easily scan and send documents to Microsoft SharePoint. Kodak is offering Atalasoft, Inc.’s Vizit Scan-to-SharePoint Software free, enabling scanned files to be sent directly to the widely used content management tool via Kodak’s convenient and easy to use SmartTouch feature available on select Kodak desktop scanners.

The combination of Kodak’s Perfect Page image enhancement and user friendly Smart Touch technologies embedded within KODAK Scanners used with Vizit Scan-to-SharePoint Software helps make information from paper documents available more easily accessible, readable and usable for SharePoint libraries.
