Digital Transformation has been a hot trend for past few years. How is Kodak Alaris helping businesses on their path to Digital Transformation?

Kodak Alaris is a leading provider of information capture solutions that simplify business processes. We exist to help the world make sense of information with smart, connected solutions powered by decades of image science innovation. Our award-winning range of scanners, software, and services are available worldwide, and through our network of channel partners.

Earlier this year, Keypoint Intelligence – Buyers Lab, the world’s leading independent evaluator of document imaging hardware, software, and services, announced Kodak Alaris as the winner of its coveted ‘Scanner Line of the Year Award’. Given once a year, this award recognizes the vendor whose product line is deemed best overall based on its rigorous lab evaluations. “From small desktop devices all the way up to high-volume production units, Kodak Alaris scanners provide businesses with everything they need to optimize processes where paper documents are fed into digital workflows or repositories,” said Lee Davis, Associate Director of Software/Scanners at Keypoint Intelligence. Kodak Alaris has won Scanner Line of the Year five out of the last six years.

Has there been any kind of shift in the demand for scanners since the pandemic for organizations and individuals?

Yes. Moving business-critical data between home-based workers and back-end systems for processing can be a challenge, especially when workers are remote. Businesses need to enable remote workers for success by providing a way to deal virtually with data, either on paper or digital documents. The data needs to be captured correctly the first time and information must be sent to back-end systems as quickly as possible. All this needs to be done securely.

Mail and other business-critical documents need to be processed and distributed. Production and departmental scanners from Kodak Alaris are ideal for quickly and accurately processing important documents and digitally sending them to remote workers.

What’s new for Kodak Alaris in the product lineup? Are there any recent innovations you want to highlight or upcoming launches?

In June, Kodak Alaris launched a secure scanning solution that protects sensitive data and gives channel partners new avenues for growth. The new INfuse Expansion Modules include six software add-ons and support for a third-party card-reader accessory, which allows users to scan documents more securely and efficiently than before. Partners such as ISVs and Systems Integrators can now customize their core INfuse offering by adding one or more of these modules to their solutions. The INfuse Solution integrates into other applications allowing users to complete tasks more accurately and faster than ever before. Tasks previously completed in days are now measured in minutes or hours.

Kodak Alaris has also expanded its document capture portfolio with the launch of a line of low-volume production scanners and a refresh of its web-based capture software.

The award-winning Kodak S2085f and S3000 Series are fast and powerful while offering network connectivity and an outstanding user experience. New models include the 85 pages per minute (ppm) Kodak S2085f Scanner (A4 paper size) and the 100 ppm Kodak S3100f Scanner (A3 paper size). Both of these models are equipped with integrated flatbeds to easily capture information from business cards to books, and more. Also, new to the Kodak Alaris portfolio are the 60 ppm Kodak S3060 Scanner, the 100 ppm Kodak S3100 Scanner, and the 120 ppm Kodak S3120 Scanners, which are all A3 scanners.
