Epson WorkForce Pro GT Scanners Earn Certification for Integration with Laserfiche Enterprise Content Management Solutions

LONG BEACH, Calif., Feb. 8, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Epson WorkForce Pro GT document scanners continue to expand into a wider range of markets and business applications resulting from adoption by leading independent software vendors (ISVs).  Most recently, the Epson WorkForce Pro GT-S50 and GT-S80 scanners earned certification from Laserfiche for their smooth integration with the company's enterprise content management (ECM) solutions.

The Epson WorkForce Pro scanners give education, finance, healthcare, and state/local government organizations a new generation of high-speed scanning technology that further enhances productivity, ease-of-use, and reliability when used in combination with Laserfiche ECM.  Both scanners feature Epson's exclusive ReadyScan LED technology that virtually eliminates waiting time for the scanner to warm up.  They also feature a unique LCD on the front panel that shows users exactly which scan job/configuration has been selected.

"Organizations of all shapes and sizes today are looking for better ways to not only digitize and archive documents, but incorporate that data into more of their day-to-day operations and services," said Bill Gates, channel development manager, Epson America, Inc.  "Epson WorkForce Pro GT-S50 and GT-S80 scanners provide a balance of features, performance, and reliability that make them perfect for integration into enterprise systems such as those offered by Laserfiche.  Epson is very pleased that these scanners have been certified for use with Laserfiche's ECM solutions and is looking forward to seeing the many ways in which customers benefit from them."

"As the industry leader in ECM, Laserfiche is dedicated to providing its customers with agile technology that increases operational efficiency.  Epson's WorkForce Pro GT scanners have proven to reliably execute high-speed scanning, which is important to organizations that need to scan, process and manage hundreds—or even thousands—of documents per day," said Alex Wilson, Director of Laserfiche's Scanner Manufacturer Partnership program.  

Epson WorkForce Pro scanners are optimized for small- to medium-size businesses, or a single department within a larger organization.  They deliver versatile features that are easy to use, fast sheet-fed scanning (up to 80 ipm* with the GT-S80), robust paper handling, high-quality 600 dpi optical resolution, and high daily duty cycles.  They can also scan everything from business cards to rigid ID cards and documents up to 8.5 x 36 inches, all with simple one-touch operation.

Laserfiche ECM systems are designed to give IT managers central control over their information infrastructure, including standards, security and auditing, while still offering business units the flexibility to react quickly to changing conditions.  The Laserfiche product suite is built on top of Microsoft® technologies to simplify system administration, supports Microsoft SQL and Oracle® platforms.  It also features a seamless integration with Microsoft Office® applications and a two-way integration with SharePoint®.
