Reduces Setup Time and Expense

On the surface, automated forms processing appears to be a perfect solution to manual data entry. Dig a little deeper, and the cost of setup, deployment and on-going maintenance stops you in your tracks. Ascent Xtrata™ provides affordable forms processing technology that you can set up in hours, not days. Gone is the need to draw boxes, manually set background dropout or registration.

Ascent Xtrata can even let you bypass most manual template design, registration and classification for new forms. Use its Unattended Mode to scan multiple structured forms and it will automate most aspects of adding a new form to the system. Ascent Xtrata doesn't require a production scanner for template design or distributed scanning.

Diminishes Template Maintenance

How many times has someone made a "few quick copies" of a form until the new batch arrives from the printer? And how often have those forms failed, along with the forms from the new print run? Or maybe the forms begin to fail because of normal scanner wear and tear. Subtle changes such as these typically require template adjustments. Ascent Xtrata is designed to adjust to these changes with no manual intervention, keeping forms flowing smoothly with little or no template maintenance. It can resolve scaling and shift errors of +/- 2%.

Improve Accuracy

You invested in a forms processing system to automate manual processes. However, every time a form fails or extraction is off, a human must intervene and the process is no longer automatic. Not only does the manual intervention slow down the workflow, it opens an opportunity for errors. Ascent Xtrata reduces the number of forms and fields requiring manual management. Even better: it learns from mistakes and corrects them automatically on future documents.

Leverage the Power of Ascent

Ascent Xtrata is built on the industry-leading Ascent platform for information capture. Combine Ascent Xtrata with Ascent Capture and you have a powerful single-source solution for forms processing and document capture. Ascent's legendary ease-of-use, scalability and compatibility with a wide range of scanners and applications means you can tailor the system to meet your specific needs. You can use simple paper capture devices such as scanners, digital copiers and fax servers, and you can extend the system to capture forms and documents directly from remote offices.
