In contrast to Centralized Document Capture that requires all documents to be scanned with hardware and software at one central location, Distributed or decentralized Document Capture software (or Software as a Service) is a welcome, cost‐effective alternative.
To date, Document Capture offerings in a Distributed model have been extremely limited. The distributed model impacts the traditional Centralized Capture licensing revenue generated by many major software makers. Those per‐click counts, seat and server licenses add up!
Distributed Capture systems allow companies to shift the usual capture costs outward to the point of document origin – eliminating shipping, software, maintenance, labor and other costs. With newly‐available Distributed Capture over the Web, companies can shift costs almost entirely outside of the organization, bringing even greater savings.
Most importantly, these savings can be achieved with Distributed Capture software/SaaS systems without sacrificing the capabilities of traditional software.
