New online store for Data Capture, Scanners, and Document Mgt.

We've just opened our new ecommerce site, CriteriaFirstWare.com, and have a selection of products we believe will interest your organization for your document management needs.  We carry a full range of ABBYY products for desktop applications and departmental to enterprise use including FlexiCapture and Recognition Server.  Criteria First has retained it's position over the past seven years as one of Xerox' top DocuShare VARs, so have a look at DocuShare if you're considering implementing a collaborative content management environment for your company.  It's easier to implement and maintain than SharePoint and runs on more platforms with a wide selection of databases you can use.  It's long been considered the best value in the marketplace for document management. 

We've carefully priced our selection of scanners below that of the marketplace so you'll find the best values available.  Our selection includes only current scanners and not those being actively phased out by vendors so you'll be assured of selecting current technologies.  We offer portable scanners and high volume production scanners with everything in between.  If you don't find what you're looking for, contact us and we'll send you a quote.

Faster Uploads to DocuShare

For those of you who have been using ABBYY FormReader Enterprise or ABBYY FlexiCapture with DocuShare, you'll be glad to learn that our DAVupDoc program now works with DocuShare 6.0 and later versions' new Content Intake Mode (CIM) feature.  This speeds uploads of batches of documents up to 50 times faster than our scripted method in DAVupDoc 2.  DAVupDoc 3.0 retains the ability to run scripted uploads to all versions of DocuShare in interactive or batch command line mode while adding the ability to take your tab or comma separated variable (.txt and .csv) output and create a file that DocuShare can ingest using content intake.  We create a single XML file and zip it up with your documents and place it in the folder watched by DocuShare for content intake.  For a batch size of 2500 documents we find DAVupDoc 3.0 take about 6 minutes to generate the zip bundle and DocuShare takes about 5 minutes to ingest it.  Documents are filed where they belong with metadata and the title you specify, just as with the scripted upload method.  Any VBScripts or Perl scripts that you have working with your current DAVupDoc implementation should still work with the content intake mode.

If you're currently on annual support and maintenance for DAVupDoc then you're free to download the new version and install it, but you'll have to send us your new "software code" so that we can send you a liberation (license) key to enable it for more than just a trial.  Setup documentation is included and shows how to change your command line syntax for use with content intake.  If you have any questions or concerns regarding your application, contact us and we'll work with you. 

You can download DAVupDoc 3.0 here.

Be sure to look into DAVLoader 2.0 for your other batch upload processes involving simpler methods of merely watching folders for new content and uploading the documents to a target collection.  This, too, has been upgraded to support DocuShare's new Content Intake Mode in addition to scripted mode.

Capturing Data from Print for Auto-Filing

Are you having to print data to capture it using recognition software or would you like to be able to print your documents and automatically file a copy at the same time.  We've chosen FabSoft as a best value partner for their Reform Enterprise product.  This is a great product for intercepting print and combining it with a form for printing and then splitting the job so that you can also email, fax, or store the document.  We've worked with customers to print and file to DocuShare, all in one pass.  We can take your criteria and create a script that will file your document where it belongs with a meaningful title and metadata you can perform surgical searches against to avoid the Google complex - sloppy search results that you have to manually re-search through.  A terrific example of having computers do your work for you.  For more information, read the brief Reform Enterprise overview and datasheet, then contact us with your requirements.
