Canon launches eCopy v5 with enhanced digital workflow

Canon Australia today announced the new release of its scanning and workflow solution, eCopy v5. The latest version from Nuance takes full advantage of Canon’s imageRUNNER ADVANCE multifunction printers (MFPs) by giving users the flexibility to automate repeatable business activities by extracting the important information contained on paper and processing it electronically through the appropriate back-end system.

“Canon Australia has a long standing relationship with eCopy, selling it successfully for over 9 years.  Version 5 enables businesses to greatly reduce the cost of capturing and managing paper by offering the ability to tackle paper forms processing directly from the MFP.  Its other strength is its vast array of connectors and extenders which enable information to be integrated to business applications, simplifying the scanning process making it easier, faster and more valuable,” said Luke Maddison, Senior Product Manager- Software, Canon Australia.
