Introduction
Document scanning is an essential component of modern businesses and organizations. While TWAIN-based scanning has been a staple for many years, the advent of IoT Smart Connected Scanning solutions, such as those offered by CAPSYS Technologies and CAPSYS CAPTURE ONLINE, introduces a new level of simplicity, efficiency, and integration to the document scanning process. Let's dive into a comparison of these two approaches:
TWAIN-Based Scanning
- Setup and Configuration: TWAIN scanners require IT installation and configuration of driver software and an application on individual computers. This process can be time-consuming and may vary across different scanner models.
- Device Connectivity: TWAIN scanners need to be physically connected to a computer via USB or network connection, limiting flexibility in terms of device placement and accessibility.
- Software Integration: TWAIN scanning relies on applications integrating with the scanner driver. Integrating these drivers across various applications can lead to compatibility issues and require additional development efforts.
Workflow Automation: Workflow automation in TWAIN scanning often relies on third-party software or custom scripts, which can be complex and may require technical expertise to set up.
Collaboration and Accessibility: Sharing scanned documents across teams may involve manual processes, such as email attachments or file transfers.
Ongoing Maintenance and Support: TWAIN scanning solutions require a PC with an operating system, anti-malware, and anti-virus software and need to be properly maintained by updating and patching over the life cycle of the deployment(s).
