Toshiba Announces New Solutions For Streamlining Imaging Processes

Toshiba America Business Solutions Inc. (TABS) recently announced the availability of Drivve | Image Toshiba Edition and Drivve | DM. Drivve | Image is a flexible, customizable suite of tools for capturing and processing document images and the information they contain. Various features, or modules, can be configured into scan profiles for an entire organization, specific departments, and even individual users. The solution suite supports two-way communication with an organization's information infrastructure based on Toshiba e-BRIDGE Open Platform technology.

"What makes this solution suite so exceptional is the flexibility and functionality that it delivers," said Joseph Contreras, director, Product and Solutions Marketing, TABS. "It results in both time and cost-savings for the entire business in one comprehensive offering that is simple to install and deploy. Its ease of use and integration directly into the control panel of the Toshiba MFP greatly improves the overall user experience."

Drivve | Image Toshiba Edition modules include:

• Scanner Power Tools (SPT): The core feature of the solutions suite, SPT connects the Toshiba e-BRIDGE MFP to the network, enabling administrators to automate complex tasks with simple scan profiles. Includes: image correction and enhancement, Bates Stamping, automatic document separation using barcodes, blank-page deletion/separation, file format conversion, browse network folders for scanning/printing, automate indexing and intelligent filename generation, and more.
• Universal Database Connector (for SPT): This connector uses ODBC technology to plug directly into 98 percent of all databases, enabling the user to pull existing information and apply it to the task at hand. Efficiency is gained by eliminating the need for users to input redundant information, thus reducing human error.
• Exchange | Fax Connector: This solution is designed to allow users to connect seamlessly with Microsoft Exchange and provides standardized integration with a host of popular fax servers.
• Barcode Module (for SPT): This solution enables the MFP to instantly read and understand 1D and 2D barcodes so documents can be routed and processed immediately and appropriately.
• OCR Module (for SPT): OCR converts TIFF scans to searchable PDFs that can be encrypted to ensure confidentiality. It also can auto-rotate imperfectly scanned documents, and Drivve | Image Zonal OCR can process information within defined sections of a scanned document.
• SharePoint Connector: This connector helps seamlessly integrate Toshiba MFPs with a company's SharePoint system.
