Tarrytown, NY, February 21, 2007 - Datacap Inc., the leading document capture and forms processing software developer, today announced the pre-release of Taskmaster 7 to select customers and partners. Taskmaster 7 is a major upgrade of the award-winning Datacap capture and forms processing software. Select Datacap customers and resellers are currently participating in the pre-release Test Program to prepare for the implementation of the new version’s features.
Taskmaster 7 leverages Taskmaster’s established client/server architecture, while introducing new elements that demonstrate Datacap’s commitment to Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). The Rulerunner Service and Datacap Studio, the accompanying controller program, expose procedural rules for document capture automation via a Web Services model. Customers will be able to run rules from within Taskmaster, as well as from external environments for image enhancement; automatic document classification; best-of-breed OCR, ICR, OMR and barcode recognition; automated validations; and rapid export of data to all industry-standard formats.
“Taskmaster 7 extends our lead in providing flexible capture solutions,” said Scott Blau, CEO of Datacap. “We developed it in response to customer requests for a solution that easily adapts to constant changes in their business and IT environments.” Taskmaster Web, included with Taskmaster 7, was re-implemented using Microsoft .NET. All popular browsers, including Firefox, Opera, and others will now be supported for indexing and monitoring capture workflows. The Browser user interface can easily be customized with the Datacap Panel Designer. For customers processing invoices and other accounts payable documents, Taskmaster 7 includes Dynamic Natural Analysis (DNA) specifically developed for highly-variable document capture. DNA eliminates invoice set-up and enables single-pass verification for both known and unknown invoice layouts. This speeds implementation and reduces ongoing maintenance. Even all detail line items for a new invoice layout can be captured and stored after the user has identified the first line item. “Taskmaster 7 meets our customer needs for flexibility and our own needs for easy and rapid application deployment,” said Jack Roberts, co-founder of Cutting Edge Solutions in Kansas City. “This release also opens up new avenues for capture, and we are excited about the opportunity to test it and provide feedback.”About Datacap Inc.
