Notable Solutions, Inc. (NSi), a leading developer of distributed content capture and workflow solutions, has earned five out of five stars in a new review of its AutoStore document capture platform from Buyers Laboratory, Inc. (BLI). Buyers Lab is a leading independent office-equipment testing lab and business consumer advocate.

Report: "Significant Productivity and Security Benefits"
AutoStore is a server-based application which orchestrates the capture and secure delivery of paper and electronic documents into business applications. According to the report: "NSi AutoStore 5 is a scalable document capture and routing solution that can deliver significant productivity and security benefits across a broad range of industries, including finance, legal, education, healthcare, government, manufacturing and construction."

"In BLI's in-depth evaluation, NSi AutoStore 5 proved to be one of the most impressive document capture and routing solutions we've seen to date," said Jamie Bsales, senior product editor, Solutions, at BLI. "The range of MFPs and scanners it supports is unmatched, and the solution includes connectors to more than two dozen popular back-end software platforms out of the box."

"Broadest Hardware Compatibility That BLI Has Seen"
BLI performed extensive lab testing of AutoStore with a variety of current and even outdated models of MFPs and was particularly impressed with AutoStore's compatibility and ease of use with all of them. According to the report: "NSi AutoStore has the broadest hardware compatibility that BLI has seen from any solution in any category offering integration with more than 500 TWAIN-compliant scanner and MFP models from nine leading makers, including Fujitsu, HP, Kodak, Konica Minolta, Kyocera Mita, Sharp, Xerox, Ricoh, Savin, Lanier and Gestetner.

"What's particularly impressive is that it offers touch-screen integration even with many older models, such as the eight-year-old Ricoh Aficio 1022 (now discontinued), that don't offer a convenient software platform to developers, such as the Embedded Software Architecture (ESA) of newer Ricoh MFPs. With competing third-party scan capture solutions, a costly add-on kiosk is required to support older MFPs."

Extensive and Free Integration with Document Management and Process Automation Software
BLI was also impressed with AutoStore's back-end connectivity: "AutoStore comes with 32 connectors to back-end applications free of charge, which is more than other scan-capture solutions BLI has evaluated."

"BLI has been independently testing office products for nearly 50 years and we're very proud to have received such a strong review across all categories of the report," says Mike Morper, vice president of marketing at NSi. "We've worked particularly hard to ensure support for the widest range of devices and an end-user interface that's intuitive and familiar within the context of each device. The report clearly recognizes our success in this regard."
