The North American document scanner market is defying the weak economy, thanks to scanning solutions that are more attractive than ever. According to a new industry report published by Moyse Technology Consulting, growth of strategically positioned desktop/workgroup and departmental scanners offset declines across almost every other segment. The technology remained relevant last year with more than a half million scanners shipped into corporate America in support of a wide variety of applications including distributed capture, electronic healthcare records initiatives, and SharePoint integration solutions.
"Old habits die hard, but none seem more futile than our attachment to paper, despite the unwieldy processes it creates," said Susan Moyse, principal of Moyse Technology Consulting. "Vendors are pushing the envelope on scanner price/performance to ensure document automation is an attractive solution for businesses. In today's economy, efficiency is king and scanning technology can help streamline document management in any company."
