OREANDA-NEWS. October 17, 2012. Fujitsu, the market leader in document imaging scanners, today announced that its line of fi-series scanners is now compatible with the EMC® Captiva® Cloud Toolkit from EMC Corporation.

The EMC Captiva Cloud Toolkit is a software development kit (SDK) that leverages enterprise capture technology from EMC Captiva. The toolkit enables web applications to directly access Fujitsu fi-series document scanners without need for downloads or limiting the user to a single browser. By adding the EMC Captiva Cloud functionality to its scanners, Fujitsu helps customers ensure that web applications developed with the EMC Captiva Cloud toolkit will seamlessly drive scanning functionality directly with the fi-series scanners. With this technology, scanning can be easily integrated into existing web-based business applications, streamlining the capture and classification of paper documents as it would be done in context with the process workflow. The readiness of Fujitsu fi-series scanners to take advantage of these new applications will deliver significant business and user benefits.

“Fujitsu strives to stay on the cutting edge of technologies that make scanning easier for our partners, developers and customers,” said Scott Francis, vice president of marketing, Fujitsu Computer Products of America, Inc. “The Captiva Toolkit update is a testament to that mission, in that we are looking at the growing demand for cloud and web capture and simplifying the process by which developers can produce enhanced applications with easy user-friendly scanning for our customers.”

“Fujitsu’s fi-series scanners provide comprehensive features to meet changing customer needs. By incorporating EMC Captiva Cloud, Fujitsu is delivering technology that will respond to customers’ growing demand for image and document capture,” said Chris McLaughlin, vice president of channel alliances for the Information Intelligence Group division of EMC. “The combination of EMC technology and Fujitsu will yield applications that will increase business efficiency and ultimately reduce deployment and maintenance costs.”

The EMC Captiva Cloud technology is available on all fi-series scanners on the Fujitsu website via a driver update and will also begin shipping with scanners in the fall of 2012.
