"CybeRecord developed ScanServer's remote billing and management system for two purposes -- to keep customers' rental payments current and to keep the scanners functioning properly," said James Lucas, the company's chairman and chief executive officer. "Each month, the central server automatically checks client scanners remotely to ascertain the number of images processed during the previous month. The system then generates invoices, computes sales commissions, and resets the scanners for the following month if rental payments are current. This program will no doubt encourage our customers' accounts payable departments to pay our bills on time, to keep the ScanServers operational. "In addition, the system speeds scanner diagnostics by allowing our customer service technicians to remotely access specific features and make sure the devices are functioning properly," he added. "The program also collects data on scanner usage patterns, which gives our marketing and sales departments cross-sectional views of industry segments, and helps the company focus attention on prime markets. Overall, it is an exceptionally powerful system that will streamline our operation tremendously."
