EMC announces Captiva 6

EMC announced this morning that they were releasing the latest upgrade to the Captiva [1] product. The new release boasts SOA support, giving you the ability to expose Captiva document capture functionality as web services. They have also improved the end user interface, building it with dockable palettes that give the user or administrator the ability to customize the user interface and add or remove pieces, depending on required functionality.

What's more, the administrative console also got a makeover giving administrators access to a variety of information and reports in a dashboard view. Administrators will also like the ability to install the client piece remotely without having to send an IT staffer out to the field. On the back end, EMC has provided faster processing speed, making it possible to process high volumes of documents faster and more efficiently.

Sean Baird, who works in Captiva product management, says the changes have been designed to help customers deploy and manage the scanning function, regardless of how spread out in the organization, the scanning function may be. Baird says that EMC recognizes that scanning is not the main business of any company, but a means to capture and use information. These new features enable organizations to do that more efficiently.
