Capture and Workflow Webinar
Join OIT and
Datacap Nov. 1 at 2 PM for a Free Webinar
Every organization can benefit from
workflow, which is simply the automation of manual
processes. When workflow involves the distribution of
documents electronically, the benefits can be substantial:
heightened productivity, accelerated processing, and
significant cost savings. Capture is essential to
document-driven workflow and together, the two solutions can
deliver an impressive ROI.

workflow could impact your organization's processes.
During this free 45-minute webinar on November 1 at 2pm ET,

business trend, guidelines for proper implementation, and the
efficiencies that your business can achieve. You'll hear
case studies of how organizations have streamlined their
processes in records management, accounts payable, insurance
and more.

Datacap and Cutting Edge Solutions Recognize KC Life For Capture
Excellence
Insurance Company
Honored During CES Customer Appreciation Day
Every year,
Datacap VAR Cutting Edge Solutions hosts "Customer Appreciation Day," which
includes a trip to Arrowhead Stadium to see a Kansas City
Chiefs football game and a banquet. This year, on October 22,
CES and Datacap used the occasion to recognize insurer KC Life for Excellence
in Capture, and at the same time, everyone enjoyed a thrilling last-second win
by the Chiefs over their division rival the San Diego Chargers.
Datacap and CES selected KC Life for the
way they leveraged rules in Taskmaster to power their backfile conversion of thousands of policy
documents. Brian Klenklen, Systems Engineer for KC Life, describes the
application as one that's helping the company transition its document
management strategy from microfiche to digital. It's a multi-step process,
but the flexibility of Taskmaster rules helps them through all the phases.
"While the backfile conversion is going on, we're installing a Hyland
OnBase repository," he says. "And then we'll apply Taskmaster to all
incoming documents. Taskmaster helps us capture policy documents every step of
the way. With each new change, we simply configure new rules."

Medical Claims Processors Beginning To Receive CMS
Forms
New Health Insurance Form Requires Changes to Capture System
The new CMS 1500 medical claim is starting to arrive in the mailrooms of
Datacap's health insurance customers. While mandatory conversion to the
new design is slated for April 2, 2007, the new forms are now available
for providers to submit and some are clearly doing so. The HCFA 1500 claim form
was modified to incorporate the new National Provider Identifier (NPI) numbers,
as well as other data relating to HIPAA requirements. If you're a medical claim
processor, it's time to plan your upgrade to accommodate the new form
Many Datacap customers have begun the
process, either by engaging services to upgrade their
application to capture the new layout, or by upgrading from
Datacap Health Claim capture system (HCcs) to the rules-driven Taskmaster for Medical Claims.
Depending on how much customization has
been done to the application, most Datacap customers have
discovered that the cost to upgrade to Taskmaster for Medical Claims is
about the same as adapting HCcs
to the new form. Upgrading delivers the benefits of Datacap's
unique reusable rules architecture, including greater
flexibility to include other document types or make changes on
the fly.

Datacap Partners With Visioneer
In October, Datacap announced a
partnership with Visioneer, a leader in intelligent imaging
scanners. The alliance facilitates Datacap's optimum support
of the entire Visioneer Patriot product-line.
Visioneer and Xerox-branded products
provide a family of hardware solutions for the distributed and
desktop scanner markets as well as the mobile and remote
business scanning and storage segments. The Patriot suite of
Visioneer products includes the Patriot 430, 470, 680, 780 and
NetScan 2000.
The Patriot series scans searchable PDFs
and maintains the visual integrity of the original document,
with a hidden searchable layer. This allows for low-cost
conversion from paper to PDF, while permitting easy
distribution and ability to search, link, select/copy and
index the text.
"A partnership with a robust, flexible
capture solution provider such as Datacap makes sense for our
customers" said John Dexter, director of business development
of Visioneer. "As the capture requirements of our customers
become more demanding, we want to be sure we are integrated
with the solutions that can meet those requirements."
