Kodak Alaris' i3000 and i4000 Series Scanners Win Better Buys for Business Editor's Choice Award

ROCHESTER, NY--(Marketwired -  June 11, 2014) - Kodak Alaris announced today that it has won  the Better Buys for Business (BBB) Editor's Choice Award for the KODAK i3000 and  i4000 Series Scanners. The award-winning line of scanners delivers outstanding  speed and image processing-improving the way information is captured, extracted  and managed-enabling organizations to maintain compliance and enhance customer  experiences.

Each year, BBB independently evaluates new office solutions for performance  and value in a number of categories, awarding the top products with the Editor's  Choice Award. For the second consecutive year, BBB has named the latest Kodak  Alaris scanners as winners, citing their generous document feeders, Perfect Page  functionality for enhanced image quality, Intelligent Document Protection  feature to defend against damaged documents and lost data, robust duty cycles,  and one-touch workflows as powerful differentiators.

"Kodak Alaris continues to demonstrate a deep understanding of the needs of  the market," noted Melissa Pardo-Bunte, editor for Better Buys for Business.  "The i3000 and i4000 Series Scanners provide users with the ability to configure  solutions that align perfectly with the specific application being addressed.  The latest features deliver the highest level of performance and value for a  number of industries including healthcare, insurance, finance, telecom and  education."

Government agencies are also reaping the benefits of deploying these  scanners. For example, a state motor vehicle bureau is using a fleet of i4600  and i3400 Scanners as part of an integrated solution that captures, stores and  manages the data associated with over 1.4 million motor vehicles, including  driving histories for more than 900,000 licensed motor vehicle operators.  Retrieving documents for customers used to take at least a week. Now the same  task can be performed almost instantly. At the heart of the solution are Kodak  Alaris' scanners, which are easy to use, require minimal training and allow  employees to deliver faster turnaround times, which leads to a better customer  experience.

In assessing the new family of scanners, the panel from BBB noted that "Kodak  Alaris has consistently provided scanners with outstanding features, and the  models in the i3000 Series are no exception. Their strong speed, 250-sheet  feeder, bundled software, and Kodak Alaris' new Intelligent Document Protection  feature make these scanners great buys for an office with a lot of scanning  needs."

In  addition to excellent speed and flexible paper handling, they offer the usual  strong Kodak Alaris imaging features."

"Customer response to the i3000 and i4000 Scanner Series has been  overwhelmingly positive, and having an independent organization such as BBB  recognize our efforts with this award further validates that we are addressing  the needs of our customers and developing the solutions that they need to be  successful," said Dolores Kruchten, President, Kodak Alaris' Document Imaging  division.
