Things to do before you buy a document capture device

How to buy the right Document Capture Scanning Device (and avoid costly mistakes)

Many organisations invest in document capture technology expecting efficiency gains, only to create new bottlenecks. The problem is rarely budget or brand — it’s choosing devices without understanding how documents actually arrive and how scanning supports real business processes.
