Buyers Laboratory Inc. (BLI), the world’s leading independent evaluator of document imaging products and solutions, has announced its Summer 2010 “Pick” winners honoring outstanding document imaging software solutions. BLI’s prestigious “Pick” awards acknowledge the top-performing document imaging solutions evaluated in BLI's lab during the previous six months. Desktop Capture Solution from OKI Printing Solutions has been named Outstanding Desktop Document Management Solution by the editors at BLI.
“Document imaging solutions are proving to be the lifeblood of the industry,” noted BLI Managing Editor Daria Hoffman. “From the capture solutions that digitize and route hardcopies to the management software that helps customers retrieve files to the assessment and print management tools that enable a dealer to deliver managed print services, these solutions help resellers engage and retain customers in an environment where hardware alone has been a tough sell.”
Desktop Capture Solution Streamlines Capture and Management
Desktop Capture Solution is a desktop document management application that offers seamless, dynamic integration with Microsoft SharePoint and DocuWare document management systems. The solution combines Nuance PaperPort Professional 12—which delivers class-leading OCR, capture and management features—with unique-to-OKI drivers that add custom icons to the interface for drag-and-drop delivery to SharePoint or DocuWare.
“Desktop Capture Solution delivers all the features the vast majority of workgroups and departments require of a document management package,” noted Jamie Bsales, senior product editor for solutions at BLI. “And it’s also one of the most affordable document capture/management solutions BLI has found that offers true SharePoint integration.”
In BLI’s lab-based tests, Desktop Capture Solution scored high marks in the key areas of Feature Set, Value, Ease of Setup, Ease of Use and Software Integration.
“We are very pleased and excited that our Desktop Capture Solution was selected by Buyers Laboratory for Outstanding Desktop Document Management Solution. Together with our partners Nuance and PGI Technologies, we have built a solution that helps businesses seamlessly convert paper to electronic documents with the ability to route them directly into document management systems,” said Carl Taylor, director of marketing, OKI Data Americas. “We knew the Desktop Capture Solution was a great offering as it increases workflow efficiency, employee productivity and reduces the cost of current business processes, but it's an honor to have the experts agree. Partners are a key component in producing business innovation and we acknowledge this award with our partners. Collectively this solution demonstrates our continued commitment to provide the best products and solutions to our customers.”

Twice a year with its “Pick” awards, BLI gives special recognition to the hardware and software products that provided the most outstanding performances in BLI’s unique evaluations. For MFPs, printers, scanners, wide-format devices and digital duplicators, BLI’s awards stand alone in that they are based on a rigorous battery of lab tests that includes an extensive durability test, which uniquely qualifies BLI to assess reliability, which is a critical factor for buyers and IT directors.
Software solutions undergo an in-depth hands-on review that focuses on key attributes for a solution’s target market and compares how well the product stacks up against leading competitors. Pick winners rise above the competition in key areas such as value, feature set, ease of use, ease of administration, hardware compatibility, software integration, security and support.
Software solutions earn an overall rating based on a five-star scale, and “Pick” contenders are culled from those that earn the highest ratings. Consequently, a BLI “Pick” is a hard-earned award that buyers and IT directors can trust to better guide them in their acquisition decisions.
