Datacap Rulerunner Quattro now in General Availability

Take Full Advantage of Multi-Core Processors to Supercharge Your Rules Engine

The promise of productivity software, like Datacap capture solutions, is to deliver to users an extra edge in performance and cost savings, and, therefore, enhance competitiveness. For example, the new generation of dual and quad core processors presents an excellent opportunity to deliver significantly improved performance without a large investment in hardware. Datacap is proud to unveils its newest product, Rulerunner Quattro, which goes into General Availability (GA) August 3.

As users of Datacap software know, Taskmaster's procedural rules engine, Rulerunner, controls all the background tasks of capture, such as the image processing, recognition, validations and export formatting. When document volumes rise to the upper levels of a system's processing power, users may decide to purchase extra hardware or install virtualization software to increase processing speed and handle the overflow.

Process Four Times Faster!

Now, Datacap users can choose Rulerunner Quattro, an option to the Rulerunner rules engine, which takes advantage of multi-core and multi-processor computers, and allows users to implement multiple instances of Rulerunner on the same hardware for faster throughput.

Rulerunner Quattro offers Taskmaster users the flexibility to meet their particular processing needs. For example, a system could be set up to add extra recognition power, if required, without an investment in additional hardware. Or a system could be configured so that recognition is driven by one core, validations on another and export formatting on another, which also delivers enhanced performance.

Benchmarking tests for recognition using Taskmaster OCR/S and ICR/C showed that, with either engine, the speed improvement was approximately equal to the number of processors available.  In the time it normally takes to process one batch of documents, Rulerunner Quattro completes as many batches as there are processors available, up to four. 

Rulerunner Quattro runs on Microsoft Operating systems, XP, Vista, Server 2003 and 2008.

Datacap FastDoc Capture On Track For Release in Fall 2009

New Product Automates Document ID and Indexing with Recognition at Entry level Price

FastDoc Capture is Datacap's new document capture solution that applies innovations developed for invoice capture to the task of automating indexing. It is the first recognition-assisted indexing solution that requires no complicated set-up, at a price point comparable to capture products with no recognition.

Datacap FastDoc Capture is something new for Datacap. It's the first product that runs independent of Datacap's flagship data and document capture platform Taskmaster. It installs as a stand-alone client, and while it is driven by rules like Taskmaster, FastDoc Capture is not designed for customization.

"There is a huge need for a simple solution that can automatically populate fields from a document for indexing purposes only, supported by a some simple validations," says Datacap Product Marketing Manager Tom Simalchik. "FastDoc Capture will be the first solution to deliver sophisticated recognition and document ID at an extremely affordable price."

FastDoc Capture will open new markets for Datacap, which has traditionally focused on complex, high volume applications. To meet the needs of the growing market for a basic recognition product, FastDoc Capture has been designed with simplicity and ease of use. Its slick new interface, enables scanning, document separation, and verfication all in one screen. FastDoc automates document ID, using Datacap's innovative "fingerprint" technology, and it's very easy to set up new document types and fields.

Datacap FastDoc Capture Beta Test Program Ready To Launch

Still Seeking a Few More Users to Test Datacap's New Indexing Solution

So far, the response to a call for beta testers has been healthy, but Datacap is seeking additional end users, particularly in government and healthcare, to assure that we test a broad variety of document types and business processes. The Beta Test Program is scheduled to commence by mid August and continue through the month.

FastDoc Capture requires no programming to set up and runs completely on a single client. You do not need to install Taskmaster; FastDoc is completely independent of Taskmaster. If you wish to test FastDoc with SharePoint, there will be some set-up of the tables, but Sharepoint integration is not required to be a FastDoc Beta tester.

Beta testers must be existing Datacap customers with up-to-date maintenance agreements or certified Datacap Channel partners. If approved, you will be asked to run FastDoc Capture for a period of several weeks, and then report findings to Datacap in a simple form. As thanks, beta testers will receive a free copy of FastDoc Capture with maintenance for one year.

Datacap Website Relaunch Coming in August

New Look and Feel with Easier Navigation

Datacap has been busy this summer redesigning its website to reflect a more contemporary look as well as improve navigation for the wide variety of visitors we receive.

Because so many different industries are now evaluating capture systems, the Datacap site needs to speak to the many "languages" of capture, from accounts payable to claims processing to medical records to high speed indexing and all the other permutations of document processing. Also, there continue to be many newcomers to capture who are looking to orient themselves to the concepts and terms and understand how capture can help their organization.

One of the goals of the new site design is to quickly identify what a visitor is looking for and deliver them to the information in a single click. A wide variety of applications, covering a large selection of industries, will be represented with supporting case studies, webinars, white papers and product information.

Datacap Channel Partners will be able to quickly log-in to the Channel Partner site and Datacap customers will be able to easily access product information and webinar demonstrations, just as you can today.

The new site boasts a cleaner, simpler look, with an emphasis on more empty space, dynamic menus and attractive graphics. Datacap is currently performing QA on the new site and adding the finishing touches with plans to launch in the first half of August. We hope you find it useful!
