Companies representing their interests in this sector can be divided into several groups: software developers. This category can be safely attributed to the developers and electronic document management systems implementers, developers need to allocate a separate optical character recognition systems (OCR) software vendors dedicated "iron." All companies that sell specialized bond and book scanners, data storage, server hardware directly interested in the informatization of society as soon as possible endemic and transition to electronic document management, System Integrators. Large companies are solving a wide range of IT needs from consulting to implementation of specific document management systems. Most often the main perpetrators of major state budget projects related to electronic document. Large foreign companies that have extensive experience working with documents and ready to implement the advanced world experience working with documents in Russian, a vivid example of how companies – Xerox. Smaller companies, often from printing, records management, archiving, willing to learn new parallel business line.
Those small companies who successfully survive all the growth and development of the disease, could become a serious competitor monsters, after all, the emergence of new market never passes without the involvement of many organizations, creating a competitive environment. It can therefore be considered "aces" in this sphere of activity is not only large companies with world renown, but also recently appeared organization, which managed to achieve some success in the field of scanning and capture streaming through the use of advanced technology, quality equipment, careful selection of software. What could be the service? Wholesale or retail? Many assume that the service scanning and capture perfectly replicated en masse and can spread like services and photo studios imaging centers. However, life is complicated. To equip a small scanning center is necessary to buy expensive equipment sufficient for several tens of thousands of dollars. Retail customers can not give a turn to present a scanning center pays off.
Therefore, service scan – it is always "wholesale" service where the client must be scanned into the system and make hundreds of thousands of documents for a limited period of time. Stream I large number of documents in various information systems required and will require a design approach, one of the main features of which is the originality of each project. Unfortunately, there is no obtained by "one size fits comb" all projects to scan the question of creating large scanning centers that perform universal services is premature. Necessary to distinguish between one-time projects for writing array accumulated over several decades and the current document scanning and input received documentation, such as corporate e-mail or contracts. For the first type of scan to attract beneficial external companies for the current input – to create their own sites scan. Often, organizations have realized a massive input by an outside company, the current input and outsource.
