Are you inundated with company brochures, product catalogues, or vendor price lists that you hardly have time to read let alone file away? The next time these documents are read they will probably be out of date and of little value to you. Imagine having up to date information readily available to you directly from your personal workstation. With the right IDM solution you can be certain that you will always have access to the latest and most relevant information. For sales reps who spend a lot of time on the road with heavy catalogues and binders, IDM allows them to store the information on a single CD ROM. To have this in digital format makes it easy to retrieve accurate information for customers and distribute digital documents via e-mail or fax.

The number one asset to most companies is the people it employs. Recruiting the right person for the job and for the company is therefore more crucial now than it ever has been. Successful companies are always on the lookout for new people even if positions are not immediately available. Instead of going through piles of filed away resumes wouldn't it make more sense to have all resumes and cover letters scanned into digital format and indexed according to qualifications or educational background? With the right IDM application this is easy to do. Searching your digital people-bank for a person with the required profile will facilitate the recruiting process.

Suppose now you could get rid of generic hardcopy resumes all together. With customized forms referring to specific jobs posted on your web-site this is possible. Potential candidates would select the job most interested in, fill in the personalized form and send it via the internet directly to your PC. You would be able to collect and store the most relevant information from your applicants and retrieve intelligence within seconds.

Do you think your brokers or insurance agents would be happier and more efficient if they no longer had to carry briefcases full of forms everywhere they went? What if we could also eliminate the need to fill in the general client information? This would save time, reduce errors, greatly improve customer satisfaction and give you a definite advantage over the competition. Well ScanTech has made this possible. On a single CD ROM we can store all your forms into which the brokers can import customer information directly from their contact management database and fill in the variable fields from their notebooks. With a portable printer they can then print out the form for the client's signature.

These forms along with other client information (faxes, memos, photographs) can be scanned, stored, and retrieved directly from your desktop. This eliminates precious time spent searching through filing cabinets and frees up valuable office space that's currently occupied by vast rows of filing cabinets.

Would Engineering support production and procurement more effectively by putting their drawings, parts lists, specifications and change orders in a central database? Here are a few ways you can dramatically improve efficiency within the organization:
- Replace other expensive, unreliable or inefficient storage and distribution methods: paper, floppies, file cabinets, etc. CD's can store 650MB of data or 15,000 scanned images or 450 floppies.
- Attach related project data to a drawing and then mail your AutoCAD files on CD to fellow workers or clients. They won't need any other software to search, view, copy, print or plot files. Just a CD ROM drive.
- Go into the field with complete project data on CD, using a notebook PC with CD ROM
- Give everyone on your LAN access to all archived projects.
