Why MFPs Matter to IT Part III: Transforming Business Processes

Tags:
groupware - workflow

Overview MFPs offer new technologies and capabilities that can help speed workflows and boost productivity in the office. Scanning is key to integrating MFPs into office workflows, and complex jobs are now as simple as pushing a few buttons on the user interface or clicking a couple choices via a desktop client. For those in IT, the issues that matter most are how much scanning capability can be accommodated without slowdowns on the network, how well the actual scanning functions perform to enable new levels of performance and reliability, and how to protect information and maintain the security of documents, based on specific users within the enterprise.
