with focus on ABBYY Software

Criteria First's focus is on providing document management solutions, often with data capture front-ends to extract information from documents that is saved as metadata to facilitate categorization and improved search and retrieval. This captured data can also be used to automate the filing process by use of template-based software to upload documents with metadata and archival dates set while creating any new required collections in the process. The same data can be fed into database tables to support systems relating to ERP and CRM support. Additional tools have been developed for manually tagging documents and auto-filing them. Other areas of expertise include batch OCR and conversion of documents and integration with new and existing systems as well as print solutions where hardcopy is generated along with email, fax, or PDF archival.

Recognition Server Update supports Bates stamping and more
ABBYY's latest release of Recognition Server allows you to add additional information to pages which are converted to Word and PDF documents within headers and footers. For example, you can add your company's name, the date and time, a page #, a Bates stamp, terms such as "confidential" or "private", a serial number, or an advertisement. You can also choose the font style, size, stress, and color. Recognition Server is a great choice for installing OCR conversion software that's accessible to all or specified users within an organization for easy conversions to PDF, Word, Excel, and database formats. You can also integrate with your website to upload image files to be converted to documents, send images as email attachments to be returned to you as documents, and for integration with other systems as part of an overall process. You can convert all incoming electronic faxes into searchable PDFs and deposit them into DocuShare to kick off a workflow process. Administration is easy and can be done using a Remote Administration Console without the need for remote desktop access to the server.

ABBYY FlexiCapture 8.0 Professional's FormDesigner form merging feature
Here's a new feature in the included FormDesigner module that you may not be aware of, but could be used in your personalized mailings. See the attached image showing what you find within the FormDesigner help file when searching for "database". You can pre-fill some of your forms with information from a database or CSV file, such as customer number and name. Merging is one of the print options for your form.

Let us know if you have any other questions or issues in using FlexiCapture or anything related to data capture, document conversion, or document management. Let us know if there are any other capabilities you'd like to use with your implementation.
