Invu forms partnership with ABBYY to launch new capture
technology
Invu has joined forces with ABBYY,
a data and document capture specialist, to expand the functionality
of its Invu for Business product offering.
The new function, called Invu
Capture, is based on FlexiCapture 9.0, ABBYY’s newest data and
document capture solution. It allows businesses to scan and capture
information from paper as it enters the premises, accurately
reading any type of document – including handwritten forms, bank
statements, invoices and contracts – in any language or currency.
Invu Capture streamlines many business-critical processes by
automatically populating back office systems and electronic
document repositories. Incorporating FlexiCapture’s capabilities,
it works independently in the background to ensure that other tasks
are unaffected, and can be used anywhere from a single desktop to
distributed multi-site enterprise environments.
Colin Gallick, Invu’s CEO,
commented: "We partnered with the best there is to create an
unparalleled solution that is precise and intelligent and, most
importantly, can integrate seamlessly with any back office system.
Put simply, Invu Capture, like all our products, saves businesses
time and money. Manual data input becomes a thing of the past,
allowing staff to focus on more important functions that add to the
bottom line."
"ABBYY FlexiCapture’s intelligent,
highly-accurate technology for automated extraction of key field
data from a variety of documents and Invu’s document management
technologies are truly complementary," noted Jupp Stoepetie, CEO of
ABBYY Europe and Director of ABBYY UK Ltd. "Invu offers a powerful
product while clearly addressing a significant need in the document
management space. Invu's easy-to-manage products help bring
document management solutions to a wide audience, and we are very
pleased that they chose ABBYY technology out of the many options
they were faced with."
Invu Capture forms part of Invu for
Business, a product portfolio of intelligent document, information
and process technologies that capture, manage and store
multiple-source content.

How do you reduce costs by 80%
Established in 1989, Floyd
Automatic Tooling Ltd is a family run business, supplying the
turned parts manufacturing industry with consumable tooling.
The heavy burden of having to keep documentation on file for seven
years was taking its toll on the amount of office space available.
A mezzanine was dedicated to filing and information retrieved was
increasingly slow. This costly exercise could only escalate as the
volume of paper documents rose.
In addition, the prospect of HMRC audit loomed large. Floyd
Automatic is required to retain input materials paperwork for its
European suppliers and it must also be in a position to make these
readily available to HMRC. With resources critical, this situation
was simply not tenable.
Speed and ease of information retrieval were driving factors behind
the decision to choose Invu as their document management
solution.
Terry Smith, IT Manager explained
"An 80% saving in printer toner, paper and postage is a tremendous
cost saving for a company of our size."

Invoice approval is a simple click of the mouse!
Cullum Detuners Ltd chose Invu for
Business to accelerate their invoice approval process using Invu
workflow across the world.
CDL designs, develops, manufactures and installs jet engine test
cell facilities and gas turbine acoustic enclosures for aircraft
carriers, oil rigs and submarines throughout the world.
The majority of manufacture takes place at their plant in
Derbyshire with some elements sub-contracted to companies in China,
America and the Czech Republic. Clients include Rolls Royce, Amec
and Alstom Power Inc.
Most of the work is project based, involving the management of many
complex, technical installations. Input is required from all parts
of the company, generating huge amounts of documentation. Tender
documents, project plans and design specications undergo change
control and are often revised during the course of a project.
They also integrate to their ERP system, Syteline, raising purchase
orders in Syteline to be automatically indexed into Invu. This
means that the procurement department raise purchase
orders in Syteline which are then automatically indexed into
Invu.
Tony Dow, IT Manager at Cullum Detuners Ltd explains "It has been a
big success. Invoice approval is now just a simple click of the
mouse, much quicker and easier than signing!"

weighty individual client files. Compounding the

reinforced by heavy regulatory obligations and scrutiny.
Against this background, the case for document and content
management is an obvious fit. But what issues will it solve or new
opportunities be opened up by adoption of this technology?
This whitepaper explores these whilst also taking a look at how to
avoid any pitfalls which might negatively impact your chargeability
if you decide that document management is right for your
practice.

Invu publish new whitepaper: Confused about SharePoint?
Invu have identified that there is
much confusion around the whole SharePoint issue, especially with
the much anticipated launch of SharePoint 2010 now just five
months away. There seems to be general awareness of its
capabilities but lack of clarity around the unique benefits it will
offer.
Is it an enterprise content
management tool? Is it a tool for automation? Is it a document
management system? Is it a vehicle for a company intranet? Is it an
application to solve content problems generally within
businesses?
The white paper demystifies SharePoint. Written by Stuart Evans,
Chief Technical Officer at Invu, it examines the different elements
within SharePoint and quantifies its capability to provide an
enterprise content management solution.
