Scan Optics Chooses Brainware Distiller to Help Process Millions of Pages Daily

ASHBURN, Va., March 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Brainware, Inc., the leading provider of intelligent data capture and enterprise search solutions, announced that it has entered into a multi-year OEM agreement with Scan Optics Limited, a global manufacturer of high-speed, high-volume document management and scanning solutions. As part of the agreement, Scan-Optics is embedding the Brainware Distiller data capture solution into its offerings.

Scan-Optics provides solutions for some of the world's largest business process outsourcers (BPOs) and scanning bureaus, with millions of pages managed on a daily basis. Brainware Distiller's content-based classification technology will allow Scan Optics to accurately sort documents without templates, keywords, zones, barcodes or other forms-based techniques. Once classified, Brainware Distiller extracts relevant indexing information as well as any specific fields of data and line-item detail that are required to process the document. From there, the solution can validate business information before posting the document in content management or enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems. The end-to-end offering can serve as a scan and capture platform for the processing of invoices, remittance statements, orders or other transactional documents.

"With its powerful classification, auto-indexing and extraction capabilities, the Brainware Distiller solution enhances our Digital Mailroom offerings," said Peter Moralee, Managing Director of Scan-Optics Limited. "What sets the technology apart from the others that we have evaluated is the validation and ability to extract line-item details. This allows us to expand beyond the mailroom into business operations such as ones in accounts payable, accounts receivable and order processing."

"In order to meet our aggressive sales goals, we recognized the need to work with the leading solution providers in other channels," said Colin Kaye, Senior Vice President of Strategic Alliances at Brainware. "Scan-Optics accessed all the capture solutions available to them and immediately recognized how Brainware Distiller allows the organization to provide a higher level of service to its customers and generates more value for its end users."

Scan-Optics Limited, established in the United Kingdom in 1973, is a wholly owned subsidiary of North American-based Scan Optics LLC.
