Both in-house and at client sites, RIS saw problems crop up when using scanners from two well-known manufacturers. “With both brands, we’d see scanners that weren’t able to handle a broad mix of documents,” Haynie recalls. “Many scan settings required constant adjustment, we had to do a lot of presorting and prep, and certain document sizes and weights caused jamming and misfeeds.” RIS prides itself on being very picky about image quality; they review every image that leaves their service bureau operation. Random QC is not for them. So these issues were frustrating and time-consuming.
To put an end to dissatisfaction, the Haynies explored other scanning options and took advantage of a free evaluation of a Kodak i4850 Scanner. Within a few days, they were sold. “We ordered an i4250 Scanner even before the trial period ended,” says Haynie.
What makes scanners from Kodak Alaris different and better? Here’s a summary of Haynie’s observations and real-life experience –
Multiple document sizes and thicknesses are not a problem
Image quality that’s better than the original
Color drop out excellence
Almost no image settings need adjustment
Prep time slashed
“We’ve found, over time, that a client may love our information management solution but if the scanners included give them trouble, they tend to think less of the entire system, and that reflects on us,” Haynie says. “We’d simply rather have a scanner from Kodak Alaris in the field when we sell a system. They put us in a better light and match the quality that we deliver for customer services and in integrating Digitech and OpenText Software into our solutions.”
“In my opinion, you could take any other manufacturer’s scanner and put it into a solution and I don’t think you’d see the same quality results as with a scanner from Kodak Alaris,” Haynie states. “They simply save time, deliver the best images – even from challenging documents, and keep on performing day after day, no matter what the volume.”
