EMC Delivers Breakthrough Document Capture Performance and Intelligence
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE EMC Delivers Breakthrough Document Capture Performance and
Intelligence New EMC Captiva Version Offers Up to 90 per cent Quicker
Time-to-Deployment; Can Process more than 10 Million Pages a Day WASHINGTON D.C. (AIIM International Conference and Expo @ Info360) –
March 22, 2011 – EMC Corporation (NYSE: EMC), the world leader in
information infrastructure solutions, today announced the newest version
of its EMC® Captiva® intelligent enterprise capture solution that
transforms paper documents, faxes and other content into digital data
used by enterprise applications. Its breakthrough levels of performance
and intelligence include the new Production Auto Learning capability,
which enables the system to learn document properties while processing,
allowing organizations to realize the benefits of document capture
faster than ever before. In addition, the new version’s superior
performance enhancements and additional language support further
transform paper-based information from a potential liability into
application-ready digital data. Captiva with Production Auto Learning: Intelligence, Speed and
Efficiency Captiva’s new Production Auto Learning feature enables the system to
automatically classify and extract important business information from
documents as they are being rapidly scanned, dramatically accelerating
the capture processes for invoices, loan documents, policy claims, and
many other document types. With Production Auto Learning, Captiva
leapfrogs competitive solutions that often rely on project
administrators to create templates up front or human operators to
perform time-consuming extra steps during validation in order to
indicate documents properties. By automating template creation, Captiva
now shortens project setup from days or weeks to a matter of hours,
reducing configuration time up to 90 per cent. Enterprise Performance Highlights of Captiva 6.5 Internal benchmark testing shows a single Captiva server can now
process more than 10 million images per day, meeting the requirements of
the largest enterprises. To help customers maximize their performance,
EMC includes a performance and tuning guide that details benchmark
testing performed and provides guidelines to help size a Captiva capture
system. Captiva also features new customization and integration options
that simplify deployment using drag-and-drop processes, providing
organizations with the ability to easily deploy capture solutions of any
size in the shortest amount of time. In addition, this new version further helps companies with global
operations with additional localized user interfaces in French, Italian,
German, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, Simplified Chinese and
Korean. Captiva now includes support for more than 100 single- and
double-byte language recognitions, including Simplified Chinese,
Japanese and Korean. Head-to-Head: Captiva Wins In a recent side-by-side lab-based benchmarking study, assessing the
ability to meet the enterprise requirements of today's business and IT
environments, EMC Captiva proved its competitive superiority in
performance, scalability and manageability when compared to the
competition. For complete results, a free copy of the benchmark study is
available at: www.emc.com/whycaptiva. Customer, Partner and Analyst Quotes Erica C. Boudreau, Archivist for the John F. Kennedy Presidential
Library in Boston, said, “This new version of Captiva enables us to
compress our scanned images using a lossless method, saving storage
space and costs while maintaining high quality images for the historical
documents that the JFK Library is capturing. The ability to quickly
manipulate images and to process them using Captiva’s latest optical
character recognition (OCR) engine produces more accurate results and
saves our staff significant time.” John Middleton, Managing Partner of BRT, an EMC partner, said,
“Having the
ability to learn documents while in production
significantly reduces the amount of effort to design document templates
and shortens the time to get into production. Based on our experience
participating in the Captiva Design Partner Program, we expect
Production Auto Learning to greatly reduce the time and costs for many
of our customers.” Melissa Webster, Program Vice President for Content & Digital Media
Technologies at IDC, said, “IDC continues to see strong interest in
document capture solutions – especially solutions that help
organizations automate their paper-based business processes. And in this
regard, enterprises have two key requirements. First, the solution must
offer very high performance. Second, it must be self-learning, to reduce
implementation time and cost, as well as ongoing application maintenance
costs.” Paul O’Brien, Vice President of Information Access Products and
Solutions for EMC’s Intelligent Information Group, said, “Captiva
brings new energy to the capture market by delivering big features sure
to delight global enterprise customers. In offering Production Auto
Learning, EMC delivers on the promise of greater automation to the
capture process. As proven by the recent benchmark study, Captiva’s
best-in-class performance places it at the forefront of the capture
space. We’re delighted to bring this high-quality solution to
market.” About EMC Captiva EMC Captiva intelligent enterprise capture solutions enable
