Microsoft’s SharePoint offerings have set the industry standard for ECM with platforms that are scalable, reliable, cost-effective and intuitive for users to learn and use. Industry analysts now estimate that more than 50% of business organizations use Microsoft SharePoint Office Server® (MOSS) 2007 or SharePoint Server® 2010 in some capacity for collaboration, web content management and document management.

While SharePoint provides excellent out-of-the-box document management functionality, including tight integration with Microsoft’s Office products, enhancements are needed to transform it into a true document imaging system. For example, a native SharePoint search query results listing will present all related documents, links and contextual content (similar to a Google search results listing). Document imaging systems rely on features such as the ability to succinctly search for and find individual documents (based on a combination of index values). Additionally, the ability to view multiple image formats (TIFF,PDF, faxes, etc.) using a universal viewer - without the need to open external viewers and applications, and the ability to annotate documents to facilitate collaboration and workflow is critical.

DocImage Search, Results & Viewer Webparts

ImageTech’s DocImage for SharePoint solution provides organizations the ability to rapidly transform their Microsoft SharePoint environments into a functional and user-friendly imaging system. ImageTech’s DocImage solution was developed to meet the need in the marketplace for a basic, functionally-rich storage-and-retrieval imaging solution for SharePoint—at a very affordable price point.

Zero-Footprint web browser image viewer with thumbnails & annotations

Completely integrated with SharePoint, the DocImage solution brings powerful zero-footprint imaging functionality to your browser and is the most cost-effective way to add document viewing and enhanced searching to a SharePoint system.

How DocImage Saves you Time & Money

Use DocImage web parts to search across SharePoint document libraries in any site in the site collection to pinpoint the document(s) you need before downloading or opening it.

Fast, In-Line Preview Tool. Allows you to preview documents using an in-line preview document viewer before downloading or opening item.

Work on Scanned and Faxed Images without leaving SharePoint. Use an integrated, zero-footprint web browser viewer (based on AJAX and JavaScript) to instantly open TIFF, PDF, PNG, Microsoft Office and other documents types (300+ formats) in SharePoint without having to download and view documents with proprietary viewers.

Easily edit documents and their properties. Add and edit document properties, perform quality assurance and approve documents as part of business workflows. Delete and rearrange pages within documents.

Collaborate and Communicate. Leave notes, comments and other graphical annotations on files to collaborate with others (without altering underlying document; annotations are stored in a separate SharePoint list). Special side-by-side view.

OPTIONAL ADD-ON - Nintex Workflow for SharePoint

Nintex extends Microsoft SharePoint to provide advanced workflow capabilities via an advanced graphical web based interface embedded within SharePoint.

As is usually the case with document imaging systems, significant benefits can be derived by implementing advanced workflow functionality to improve and automate business processes. SharePoint provides a robust workflow engine; however, the tools provided are limited and cumbersome to use. Nintex overcomes this short-coming by providing low-cost, functionally rich workflow tools to rapidly and easily build workflows to automate business processes and connect to external data and line of business applications. Nintex has deep integration with SharePoint and users can build native SharePoint workflows using a browser based client (no desktop software) with drag and drop functionality; workflows are drawn, not coded. Once deployed, Nintex Workflow provides visual workflow progress, real-time feedback on workflow activities and advanced workflow reporting.
