ELO can be integrated as a central corporate repository into all different kinds of business applications. Thus, ELO can process information and documents from e.g. an ERP system, an AS/400 mainframe computer and other sources.
Captured according to requirements, ELO can then automatically index documents or print data streams and initiate another process, e.g. through a workflow, where applicable. The ELO Cold and ELO XML modules ensure that data from central business applications can be automatically imported, keyworded and archived.
The use of barcode recognition is practical whenever paper documents have to circulate between various company or customer departments. As a rule, a unique barcode is generated in connection with a lead business application (e.g. ERP system) and applied to the document. If the barcode on a document is scanned subsequently, ELO Barcode will recognise it by itself and assign it to the right process.
