It's good to digitise documents. It's better to integrate them into your workflows.

Many organisations aim to go paperless (or at least paper light) to make life easier for their people and cut down on routine office tasks. But without the right technology, the process of digitising physical documents and routing them to the right destinations can increase the admin burden, instead of reducing it.

Even if done efficiently, digitising your files is only half the story. To gain real business benefit, you need to integrate them into your business processes to support digital transformation and workflow automation.


 

Intelligent digitisation, simplified workflow integration

If you use Konica Minolta bizhub MFPs, you can add smart apps and software to your devices that make scanning and digitisation a breeze, and automate integration of digital files into your processes. Our apps and software can:
 

  • Recognise document types (or read barcodes) to automatically route digitised documents to the right destination — such as an individual, a team, a system or application
  • Name digital documents according to their content — for example, file names for invoices can be automatically assigned based on the name of the invoice issuer and the invoice number
  • Automatically apply metadata to save time
  • Extract data using optical character recognition (OCR) technology to create editable files
  • Convert hard-copy documents to a range of digital formats, including Word, Excel, PDF, JPEG and XML — allowing further data manipulation in other apps and systems
  • Require a user login for secure document capture
  •  Allow after-hours scheduling of batch jobs to leave bandwidth free during the working day
 

Our apps can be operated from the bizhub control panel; or can receive documents via a watch folder or from a device or other source, such as shared folders or cloud storage solutions.

1. What is document digitisation?

Document digitisation is the process of creating an electronic version of a paper file for storage, archiving, or incorporation into a digital process or workflow. Depending on the digitisation software, the digital format can be anything from a simple or searchable scan to an editable document (created using OCR) in a format such as Word, Excel, editable PDF or XML) that can be edited or processed by a person or system.

2. How do you digitise documents?

Konica Minolta offers a number of routes to document digitisation. Our bizhub MFPs incorporate document scanning functionality, which you can build on by adding smart apps and software, such as:

  • Document Navigator — offers intelligent document capture, processing and delivery at the touch of a button, and the ability to capture data from various sources.
  • Dispatcher Phoenix — automates large-scale document image processing and routing via workflows that you can customise to meet business needs.
  • Kofax eCopy ShareScan — enables instant capture, distribution and management of paper-based information. It connects Konica Minolta bizhub systems to enterprise apps so that users can scan at the device and route the digital output to various destinations, systems and applications.

3. What are the key benefits of digitising documents?

Key benefits include:

  • Efficient electronic storage and archiving, simplifying document management search and retrieval; and allowing physical space to be repurposed
  • Conversion of paper documents into editable format, so you can make better use of the content
  • Support for digital transformation and automation, by enabling integration of documents into electronic processes and workflows
