Scan 40 pages a minute for less than $2,000 SANTA CLARA, Calif.,
May 12 /PRNewswire/ -- Fujitsu, FileMaker, Inc. and Acordex today
announced the integration of Acordex DocKeep Pro with FileMaker Pro
10, a new imaging database solution for small businesses that
revolutionizes high-speed professional scanning on the Macintosh
computer with high-speed Fujitsu fi-6130 and fi-6140 document
scanners. Acordex's DocKeep Pro manages the scanning process of the
Fujitsu scanner, providing direct control of the scanner's
capabilities, without an intermediate software layer. DocKeep Pro
users can start a new document or open an existing document and
then add, replace, delete or insert pages. DocKeep Pro integrates
with FileMaker Pro 10 using FileMaker scripts provided free by
Acordex, creating a true programmable imaging system. Low entry
price and higher scanning speeds for small to medium size
businesses Complete systems, including FileMaker Pro 10, DocKeep
Pro and the Fujitsu fi-6130 scanner, start at less than $2,000 and
scan 40 pages per minute. Higher scanning speeds and adding dozens
of users extends the power of this total solution while keeping
total costs well under $10,000. Small to medium sized businesses
that have needed the power of a professional imaging system, but
could not afford the high cost, now have the solution they can
afford. Fujitsu fi-6130 and fi-6140 document scanners are ideal for
digitizing large quantities of documents including contracts,
accounting documents, personnel, medical or shipping invoices and
public documents. Features such as the Automatic Document Feeder,
Automatic Blank Page Removal, Double Feed Detection and competitive
speeds provide long-term productivity. Additionally, DocKeep
instantly attaches these documents to FileMaker Pro 10 data records
at full speed. FileMaker Pro is the world's leading easy-to-use
database software that securely shares information with Windows and
Mac users--through your network, over the web, and in popular
formats such as PDF. FileMaker Pro 10, with a sleek new interface,
also provides a rich set of ready-to-use built-in starter solutions
so that business users can be instantly productive. Customizing,
creating and sharing easy-to-use software solutions are quick and
easy with FileMaker's powerful integration with DocKeep Pro.
"Because of their comprehensive line of reliable scanners, Fujitsu
has always been the scanner of choice for Acordex," said Ken Rohr,
president, Acordex. "Our software has been driving Fujitsu scanners
on Macintosh computers since 1989. We have concentrated on high-end
imaging solutions in the past, but Fujitsu's new scanners have
opened up production level performance for less than half the price
of just a year or two ago! Pairing this new hardware power with
FileMaker is a natural. FileMaker's scripting tools make it very
easy to create a customized, professional document scanning
solution." "Fujitsu products have been running on the Macintosh
platform for a number of years, used primarily for ad hoc and
transactional scanning," said Doug Rudolph, vice president of
product management and business development, Fujitsu Computer
Products of America. "Through our partnership with Acordex and
FileMaker, we're able to explore the development and deployment of
compelling business solutions with much higher performance." "While
you could always insert images into a FileMaker Pro field," said
Ryan Rosenberg, vice president, marketing and services, FileMaker,
"DocKeep Pro substantially extends our imaging capabilities to
efficiently manage very large quantities of document images. Users
in such vertical markets as health care, transportation, supply,
government and many others will really benefit from this
combination of Acordex, Fujitsu and FileMaker technology working
together." About Fujitsu Ltd. Fujitsu is a leading provider of
