Invu establishes alliance with Objectif Lune to launch new content automation technology

Invu now offers Invu Content Automation, after establishing alliance with Objectif Lune. PlanetPress Suite will be added to Invu’s product portfolio, providing customers with direct access to trans-promotional and transactional applications.

Trans-promotional activity is proven to enhance customer growth, retention and service levels, and every document sent to a customer is an opportunity for new business. The new offering, Invu Content Automation, will provides an easy way for businesses to create or enrich variable content documents of any type from Invu’s document management repository. Invu Content Automation also accelerates distribution, speeds up payment processes and even reduces postal costs.

Invu Content Automation will allow customers to import existing business documents created with any Windows application and to interpret their content intelligently for repurposing and enrichment. Data can be mapped onto a template document, and efficiencies are increased with workflow by routing documents for printing, emailing or indexing and archiving into Invu.

Invu's new capture technology now available

Invu has joined forces with ABBYY, a data and document capture specialist, to expand the functionality of its Invu for Business product offering.

The new function called Invu Capture is based on FlexiCapture 9.0 ABBYY's newest data and document capture solution. It allows businesses to scan and capture information from paper as it enters the premises, accurately reading any type of document in handwritten forms, bank statements, invoices and contracts in any language or currency.

Invu Capture streamlines many business-critical processes by automatically populating back office systems and electronic document repositories. Incorporating FlexiCapture's capabilities, it works independently in the background to ensure that other tasks are unaffected, and can be used anywhere from a single desktop to distributed multi-site enterprise environments.

Using Document Management to save money

The right IT can help small businesses go green and save money, writes Colin Gallick, CEO of Invu

The paperless office is a phrase which is bandied about as businesses increasingly focus on sustainability and carbon footprint. But reducing reliance on paperwork can seem like a daunting task at the outset.

It is, however, well worth the small amount of effort it takes to cut down on paper filing, and not only because of the environmental impact - the cost is actually much higher than one might think. According to a YouGov survey, UK SMEs collectively waste £42 million each day trying to locate information, and an SME will spend an average of £11,000 each year dealing with the effects of traditional filing.

How do you reduce costs by 80%?

Established in 1989, Floyd Automatic Tooling Ltd is a family run business, supplying the turned parts manufacturing industry with consumable tooling.

The heavy burden of having to keep documentation on file for seven years was taking its toll on the amount of office space available. A mezzanine was dedicated to filing and information retrieved was increasingly slow. This costly exercise could only escalate as the volume of paper documents rose.

In addition, the prospect of HMRC audit loomed large. Floyd Automatic is required to retain input materials paperwork for its European suppliers and it must also be in a position to make these readily available to HMRC. With resources critical, this situation was simply not tenable.

Speed and ease of information retrieval were driving factors behind the decision to choose Invu as their document management solution.

Terry Smith, IT Manager explained
"An 80% saving in printer toner, paper and postage is a tremendous cost
saving for a company of our size."
