MOUNT LAUREL, N.J., November 17, 2009

Compatible with OKI Printing Solutions' full line of color and monochrome MFPs, solution provides real-time integration with Microsoft® Office SharePoint® and seamless conversion to electronic document workflow

OKI Data Americas, which markets its products under the OKI® Printing Solutions brand, today introduces Desktop Capture Solution, which helps businesses seamlessly convert paper to electronic documents, with the ability to scan directly into Microsoft® Office SharePoint® and other document management systems. Compatible with OKI Printing Solutions' full line of color and monochrome multifunction products (MFPs), Desktop Capture Solution eliminates the need for additional imports and uploads that are necessary with most competitive solutions. The solution immediately increases workflow efficiency and employee productivity and reduces the costs of current business processes.

Highlights of Desktop Capture Solution:

A focus on cost control along with a need to make information more accessible has led more industries to employ content management solutions.1 According to Gartner, basic content services (BCS) is one of the top 10 technology trends impacting information infrastructure in 2009 and 2010. Gartner stated, "BCS will become a common element of the workplace, enabling companies to improve productivity by reducing the time employees spend filing and looking for documents."2

"We are seeing a common shift toward electronic document management across all business segments, because it inherently makes current workflow processes more efficient and less costly," said Carl Taylor, Director of Marketing at OKI Data Americas. "Desktop Capture Solution makes the transition from paper processes effortless, while making information more accessible within an organization, and ultimately, drastically reducing the complexity and time it takes employees to perform everyday business functions."

Desktop Capture Solution unlocks the information stored in paper documents by easily converting scanned documents into text files that can be edited, copied and pasted into e-mail or scanned directly into new word processing or spreadsheet files. Combining award-winning PaperPort® Professional 12 from Nuance® and unique PGI™ document management drivers, Desktop Capture Solution delivers the following process-improving features when used with OKI Printing Solutions' full line of color and monochrome MFPs:
