Understanding Transform Scan CenterUnderstanding Transform ScanCenterTransform Scan CenterTransform Scan Center is a scan-to-archive solution for a wide variety of documents. Transform ScanCenter captures images and forwards them to Transform Content Center. When used together with aTransform Content Center, it offers an efficient and effective alternative to long-term paper documentarchive.You configure this operation by creating one or more Functional Profiles which dictate howTransform Scan Center behaves when a batch of documents are scanned. You can create multipleFunctional Profiles to quickly select how a batch of scanned documents is processed.The scan-to-archive process consists of the following steps:1. Scan: either by using a physical document scanner or accessing TIF (Tagged Image Format)images from a local or network file location2. Read: using Optical Mark Recognition (OMR) that can read characters or barcodes3. Group: associating scanned pages into documents4. Index: selecting an archive document type and entering index data for retrieval searches5. Export: passing to the archive systemCustom Export OptionTransform Scan Center also offers a custom export option that allows the results of Transform ScanCenter to be exported to something other than a Bottomline Technologies archive system. The customexport option is defined per Functional Profile, and therefore a single Transform Scan Centerinstallation can support a combination of scan-to-archive Functional Profiles and custom exportFunctional Profiles.A Functional Profile defined for custom export can function like the scan-to-archive process describedabove, or it can perform an optional Classify step instead of the Index step.
