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
