RecCapture

RecCapture, "Painless Electronic Document Management (EDM) Software"...


Overview

RecCapture is Electronic Document Management (EDM) without any of the headaches, pain, difficulties, high IT involvement and huge expense of traditional EDM systems.

RecCapture automatically captures, analyzes, indexes and versions every electronic document your staff create and receive (including emails) without involving additional work for the majority of your staff.

RecCapture includes both a sophisticated security system and a 'thin-client' search and inquiry tool that doesn't need to be installed on the desktop (the IT staff are already cheering) and one that provides instant secure access to any stored document. It is also a system where no one has the ability to delete or modify key documents.

RecCapture consists of 5 fully integrated and proven components:

  • The back-end database engine is a special version of our our enterprise EDM solution called RecFind-Corporate.
  • The RecFind File Capture Filter continually scans all directories and sub directories you specify it to capture, index and store all new and changes electronic documents.
  • The Rules Module works with the File Capture Filter to decide what to do with each and every electronic document you capture.
  • The Button that we insert into the toolbar of Word, Excel, Outlook and WordPerfect and GroupWise and Notes is called the RecFind-Button.
  • The web based 'thin-client' search and inquiry tool is called RecQuery-TC.

We have repackaged these robust, feature rich, scalable and proven products into a new solution we call RecCapture.

Benefits

Existing Customers...
The good news for existing customers is that RecCapture plugs directly into RecFind-Corporate 5.0.0B and uses RecQuery-TC 5.0.0B as its client. Existing customers already 'own' 95% of this application (because all the required RecCapture code was built into 5.0.0B before release) so all you have to do is add one new component, the new RecCapture Rules module.
 
Desktop Maintenance Free
As RecCapture is installed at the server, it means that is a desktop maintenance-free solution for all IT Managers. Save thousands on desktop maintenance and save hundreds of man-hours that would have been spent 'fixing' the users' local software installations.
 
Easy to Use
RecCapture requires very little training - you can train your staff within an hour in how to use it.
 
Low Cost
Compared to traditional EDM systems RecCapture does not incur a huge expense. And as it will be not used by all staff, minimum training will be required.

Features

Rules Module
Because electronic documents are essentially unstructured (as opposed to emails which are highly structured) the RecCapture Rules module is a very different animal to the GEM Rules module. It plugs into the current 5.0.0B RecFind File Filter and significantly extends its functionality. Not only does it allow you to interrogate electronic documents on every attribute, it also allows you to imbed strings (delimited by control characters) or values (e.g., a file folder number or a document profile number or an employee number) in electronic documents and then match on them. It of course also allows you to intelligently examine all or any of the text of the electronic document (e.g. look for "Employment Contract" in the first 200 characters of the document).
File Capture Filter
The RecFind File Capture Filter continually scans all directories and sub directories you specify it to capture, index and store all new and changes electronic documents.
 
Thin Client Search Tool
The web based 'thin-client' search and inquiry tool in RecCapture is called RecQuery-TC. RecQuery-TC is a totally thin-client (browser resident) inquiry product used to access the RecFind-Corporate relational database over a LAN, WAN or the Internet, Intranet or Extranet.
 
Because it runs within a browser (Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape) RecQuery-TC provides instant, secure access to your corporate data from anywhere in the world. Never be without those important papers again.
 
Search, display, print and copy (Save As) all objects within the RecFind-Corporate database including Metadata, paper records, electronic documents, images and WorkFlow records.
Database Engine
The back-end database engine is a special version of our our enterprise EDM solution called RecFind-Corporate. RecFind-Corporate stores and indexes electronic documents of any type. There are also no limits on the number of documents that can be stored (other than hardware limits). It also includes the functionality for automatic versioning, retention, archiving, security and workflow (yes, is also includes a fully integrated workflow engine should you need it) plus standard and ad hoc reporting. You can of course, also archive off 'old' electronic documents to second level storage when the file server starts to complain.
 
Electronic Document Capture
The Button that we insert into the toolbar of Word, Excel, Outlook and WordPerfect and GroupWise and Notes is called the RecFind-Button. The Button allows the user to save a new electronic document into RecFind-Corporate with a few more mouse clicks. Ideally, the employee saves just the first version; all future version will be automatically captured and indexed by the File Filter. However, the system works even if the employee forgets to save the first version because if you haven't told RecCapture how to classify, index and save a document the Rules Module will do it for you. The employee can also use the Button to Check-out existing versions if required.
