Biscom Connector Lets Users Scan and Send Secure Document "Packages" From Office Copier

Connector Integrates Biscom FileMarshal With eCopy ShareScan OP

eCopy Paper Connection Forum -- Biscom today announced a new connector for its FileMarshal secure document delivery product that enables any eCopy ShareScan OP-enabled multifunction peripheral (MFP) to scan documents directly into FileMarshal secure "packages" and schedule them for delivery.

Once the document is scanned directly into a secure FileMarshal package, the user can then schedule delivery of the package to one or more recipients with access to the Internet. The user also can password protect the scanned document, schedule a delivery time, set an expiration time, and send an e-mail notification to the recipient to notify them of availability of the package. When the recipient receives the e-mail, the recipient is given instructions on how to securely obtain the document. A complete audit trail of the posting and access of the document is managed by FileMarshal, which the package sender, or an auditor, can view with an Internet browser.

"Our customers have been asking us for a way to send documents securely," said Phil Ly of TIC Software, a FileMarshal reseller. "We've found that FileMarshal gives our customers the benefits of secure document delivery with a complete audit trail. We're excited at the interest that FileMarshal has generated with our customers."

FileMarshal provides a complete solution for managing the delivery of secure documents, without the limitations of e-mail or FTP. FileMarshal is unburdened with the file size limitations that are typical of e-mail. It also offers greater security and tracking capabilities than either e-mail or FTP.

"Companies in industries such as financial services and healthcare are under pressure to provide an audit trail of their communications with outside parties in order to satisfy regulatory authorities," said Bill Ho, vice president of Internet Products at Biscom. "The FileMarshal Connector for eCopy ShareScan OP makes it easy for office workers to walk up to an MFP and send a document securely as easily as sending e-mail."

According to Edward Schmid, eCopy president and CEO, "By using eCopy's software developers kit, Biscom has provided their customers with the capability to use the ubiquitous office copier to incorporate paper documents into their secure document delivery system. Through the development of a single Connector, Biscom was able to eliminate the need for education, design and testing on multiple copier brands."

Partnered with eCopy for over ten years, Biscom currently offers the FAXCOM Connector for eCopy ShareScan OP, which affords office users with the same walk-up and use simplicity of a fax machine, while providing enterprises with sophisticated fax server capabilities at the back-end, such as least cost routing, archiving, pre-transmission approval and audit trails.
