VircoSoft Corporation's vFiler™ Capture and Index Application brings sophisticated device-independant batch imaging workflow and optical character recognition (OCR) to KnowledgeTree Enterprise Edition. vFiler supports full page, bar code and forms-based OCR.

Forms recognition is one of vFiler's strengths and the product provides means to identify and categorize different documents according to the form type. vFiler also provides ODBC look-up capabilities, allowing for the querying of 3rd-party datasources during the imaging workflow.

vFiler processes documents that are placed into a designated local or network folder and, dependent on the administrator defined workflow, may OCR the full content of a document, scan a bar code or process the document as a form.

Document workflows may include lookups against external data sources, such as business accounting databases or CRM systems, allowing additional metadata to be added to the document or to determine the OCR'ed contents validity.

vFiler’s ability to recognize different document types is a powerful feature that is used across many applications; this is particularly useful in Accounts Payable departments, where hundreds of vendor invoices, bulk uploaded to the capture folder, are immediately and accurately stored in KnowledgeTree.

The application also allows workflow designers to publish documents to user-defined local Windows folders, bringing two major benefits: backups, for redundancy; and support for future document migration, using folder and file names as index variables.

vFiler releases documents to the KnowledgeTree repository along with the metadata generated during the process workflow. Upon being released in to KnowledgeTree, the document may trigger an internal KnowledgeTree workflow or notifications email. The auto-population of KnowledgeTree metadata fields ensures that the document is available within KnowledgeTree's full-text search engine.

vFiler integrates with KnowledgeTree using KnowledgeTree's powerful Hot Folders Service (DWI).
