Tarrytown, NY - May 31, 2006 - Datacap Inc. announced today that Taskmaster Web Service won a 2006 AIIM Best of Show Award. Taskmaster Web Service is a flexible set of capture capabilities, including image processing, recognition, validation, and export formatting, that are hosted in a Web Service, simplifying integration.
“We are delighted that Taskmaster Web Service has been
selected for the prestigious AIIM ‘Best of Show Award,’” said Scott Blau, CEO
of Datacap.“This award confirms that the
industry-wide trend toward SOA-enabling solutions will extend into document
capture. It also recognizes Datacap’s continued innovation and leadership.”
The Best of Show Award is presented to the ECM hardware and
software technologies on exhibit at the AIIM 2006 Conference and Exhibition
that demonstrate exceptional capabilities and quality, and show evidence of
significant ROI (Return on Investment) potential. A panel of 22 industry
experts evaluated the products.
Taskmaster Web Service decouples the document capture
processing engines, such as image processing, OCR, ICR, validations, and
release formatting, from the capture platform.
Users can now take advantage of these best-of-breed engines from a variety of
capture environments, including Kofax Ascent Capture, FileNet Capture, and
internally-developed capture solutions.
The Web Service is an open, procedural rules environment.New
processing can be added to this environment transparently via standard
Microsoft VBScript actions.Once loaded
into the Service, new recognition engines or specialized export capabilities,
for example, are then available to all clients accessing the Service.
A typical use of the Web Service is in the implementation of
distributed capture applications with centralized recognition.Each
remote location can run autonomously from the others, while still sharing the
recognition resources made available in a centralized Service.An
early adopter of the Taskmaster Web Service uses it to identify the addressee
of faxed documents managed by a proprietary application.
