ImageNow is a document management, imaging, and workflow software suite that's in use at about 900 campuses worldwide, according to Perceptive Software. The new version 6.2, released yesterday, includes the following enhancements:

  • Expanded support for Microsoft Office;
  • Support for document capture through WebNow;
  • Automatic form recognition;
  • Expanded output support, including the ability to bundle documents and send them to printers, e-mail clients, faxes, or files;
  • A new task-based workflow; and
  • Expanded support for automated integration with back-end systems.

It also offers general UI improvements and what Perceptive described as significant performance improvements in some areas, including workflow processing, with the ability to process 20 times more items per hour than the previous release; document capture at up to 10 times the speed of the previous release; and improved access to files on the network through new memory allocation algorithms.
