Optimize Business Processes and Enable Distributed Working Environments
Melding with Hybrid Work
The hybrid workplace is here to stay. According to Keypoint Intelligence’s 2022 Future of Office Survey,
74% of workers plan on working remotely at least part time. But with a new way of working comes newproblems, including issues with scanning.
Kodak Alaris offers an outstanding lineup of distributed capture technology to help businesses connect
workers, information, and business processes in a hybrid work setting. In fact, Kodak Alaris took home
Keypoint Intelligence’s first-ever BLI 2021-2022 PaceSetter Award in Distributed Capture.
Kodak Alaris’s distributed capture technology includes:
Alaris Info Input Solution is web-based document capture, recognition, indexing, data validation, androuting software. The solution is perfect for automating business processes that start at the scannerand for facilitating a secure and reliable distributed scanning environment.
Alaris INfuse Smart Connected Scanning Solution is a unique combination of hardware (Alaris INfuse AXscanners) and software (Alaris INfuse Management Software) that enables MSPs, ISVs, and integrators
to deploy a distributed scanning ecosystem alongside their business process solutions. Alaris INfuse AXscanners offer PC-less scanning and enables workers to kick off workflows with the touch of a button.
The device even informs workers if scanned images were properly indexed and routed properly at thepoint of capture, so workers can catch and address any mistakes right away.
Alaris Asset Management Software enables businesses to manage their fleet of Kodak Alaris scanners
through a single solution.
S3000 RESTful API directly connects S3000 series scanners with web applications and enhance the userexperience.
EasySetup simplifies device configuration tasks by enabling users to configure devices by scanning asingle QR code. ISVs, integrators, and MSPs can set up end users, configure devices, and manage entire
fleets of the vendor’s scanners remotely through the Alaris INfuse Management software.
Secure-Boot Solution ensures that only trusted firmware can be loaded on supported devices, which
prevents adversaries from taking control of the device using unauthentic firmware.

Accelerate Business Processes with Scan Workflow Automation
Kodak Alaris offers some of the most impressive scanning solutions that Keypoint Intelligence has
seen, enabling businesses to distribute automated document scanning and workflow capabilities to thepoint of capture, wherever that may be—imperative for keeping your head above water in the hybrid
workplace era.
Alaris Smart Touch is a scan utility bundled with all Kodak Alaris scanners that offers basic workflow
automation. Smart Touch enables users to create customized scanning profiles to streamline andstandardize frequently recurring tasks, eliminating mistakes that can create big problems downstream
and freeing workers from mundane scanning tasks so they can focus on higher-level tasks.

indexing processes. Other standout features include quality control tools to reduce mistakes during

Stellar Performance
Highly Reliable
Scanners from Kodak Alaris can reliably scan just about any document you throw at them. We haverun millions of sheets of paper through dozens of scanners from Kodak Alaris and, in that entire
time, we counted five jams—that is a jam rate of less than one-millionth of a percent.

Outstanding Image Quality and Pinpoint Accuracy
All scanners from Kodak Alaris tested by Keypoint Intelligence earned an Excellent or Very Goodrating in Image Quality. Each device leverages Perfect Page technology, which automatically applies
the optimal image enhancement settings to each scanned document. That way, users don’t have tospend a lot of time an energy cleaning up or rescanning documents because of poor image quality.
Kodak Alaris is also the first scanner manufacturer to successfully complete the Keypoint Intelligence
FADGI (Federal Agencies Digitization Guidelines Initiative) Test Program, which determines if ascanner can consistently create scanned images with a 3-Star FADGI rating over a month of usage.
As “scan to process” becomes more and more popular of a use case for scanning, the ability toextract information reliably and accurately from documents will become more important. Scanners
from Kodak Alaris are routinely among the most accurate in their respective classes when it comes toexecuting OCR, which means they can be relied upon to correctly read and extract information fromall documents and send it to where it is needed next.

Marvelous Media Handling
Scanners from Kodak Alaris can capture just about any document you throw at it. Every device that
Keypoint Intelligence has tested has earned an Excellent or Very Good rating for media handling(notable features include intelligent document protection, staple detection, and ultrasonic doublefeed detection).

Impressive Compression
Businesses are increasingly reliant on the cloud to manage content and power business processes.
Scanners from Kodak Alaris leverage an outstanding compression algorithm, reducing storage costs
and accelerating transmission time without eating up a lot of bandwidth. Scanners from Kodak Alaris
are among the best performers in Keypoint Intelligence’s file-size testing.
