Bidvest Group company, Minolta South Africa, has introduced SendMe, a new Electronics for Imaging (EFI)-powered scan-to solution that offers access to a streamlined digital workflow by quickly and easily transforming paper documents into electronic files for instantaneous delivery or simplified storage.
Minolta Integrated Systems Information Exchange (MiSix) product manager, Mohammed Vachiat, says SendMe leverages complex technology to make document distribution simple and affordable by allowing users to share information at Internet speed while minimising fax and phone costs.
"With SendMe users can easily transform paper documents into digital files and send them anywhere in the world in a matter of seconds," he says.
SendMe is an electronic workstation that is strategically placed near a multifunctional device, and allows users to simply scan a document and edit, fax, print or archive it on-the-spot.
Documents can be sent to any number of e-mail addresses, fax machines, fax servers or printers. They can also be stored on a FTP site, desktop or flash card. Sophisticated document management systems can further improve efficiency by using SendMe as a portal to these applications.
Vachiat says SendMe connects to virtually any TWAIN-compliant scanner or printer and expands the functionality of an existing printer or scanner, increasing office productivity with minimal investment. "Documents can be converted into one of many industry-related file formats - PDF, TIFF, JPG, PNG - and stored or delivered with the touch of a button," he says.
Unlike fax technology, these files maintain the integrity of documents without diminishing their quality. SendMe conveniently integrates with standard e-mail applications, such as Microsoft Exchange and Microsoft Outlook, using LDAP support to quickly upload companies` mail lists and address books.
