Captiva Introduces eScan for Distributed Input Management; New Offering Allows Users to Reduce Document Transmittal Costs, Decrease Errors and Streamline Processing.

SAN DIEGO -- Captiva Software Corporation (NASDAQ:CPTV), a leading provider of input management solutions, today announced the introduction of eScan(TM), a front-end distributed capture system that enables users to capture and submit scanned document images, pictures or electronic files from remote locations via a simple Internet connection.

eScan provides a web-based, thin-client environment for document scanning, importing and indexing. By using eScan with InputAccel(R), Captiva's award-winning document capture software, organizations can create an enterprise-level capture solution by distributing tasks across physical sites - regardless of their geographic locations - by providing remote users the ability to send images and index information without installing scan client applications, thereby minimizing deployment, support and maintenance costs.

"Companies with multiple locations, remote agents or offsite employees can reduce costs with eScan by assigning labor-intensive tasks, such as document scanning, to locations where it is most economically sensible, and establish the secure transmission of the electronic information to a central location for processing," said Jim Vickers, Captiva's Chief Marketing Officer. "eScan was developed in response to customer requests to further streamline the capture and submission of documents and other information in the field. With eScan, companies can reduce postage, shipping and other costs, and decrease document processing cycle times. We're excited about the market potential of this remote capture application."

Industry analysts confirm that demand for distributed capture is expected to grow in the years ahead. "As more companies become dispersed with regional offices and remote employees, as well as through merger activities, distributed capture will become more essential in ensuring information is captured closer to customer interaction and at its point of origin," said Andy Warzecha, Senior Vice President and Service Director at META Group. "The ability to capture documents remotely and deliver them into a central repository saves time, reduces errors, eliminates shipping costs and increases efficiency. These benefits are driving IT investment in this realm and solutions that can deliver value in this arena should gain significant increasing traction in the market."

According to a recent InfoTrends study, half of the organizations surveyed said they used some sort of decentralized scanning in departmental or workgroup environments, but it's likely that only a small fraction of these have implemented true distributed capture. According to the study, 26% of respondents said they planned to move to a more decentralized approach to reduce operational costs and improve efficiencies.
