Re: software for electronic student/business records?

Hi Terry,
About 18 months ago, we engaged Advanced Imagine Systems to scan all of our=
old transcripts. They house them in a searchable, off-site database and w=
e can easily log on, search, and print or email what we need at any time. =
Our registrar has been very happy with it. We haven't made a move to house=
other records at this time, but I wouldn't have qualms about doing so base=
d on our initial experience.

Subject: software for electronic student/business records?

Please forgive the cross-post...

We would like to scan old paper records related to student information
(applications, reports, transcripts, alumni/ae activities...) and
business services (invoices, payments,...) to create a well-organized,
searchable system(s) of electronic information.

Does any of you have first-hand knowledge of a commercial system that
automates scanning and also provides a relatively simple interface for
searching and retrieving documents after they've been scanned?

(Just FYI, we do not wish to develop a custom database.)

Thanks in advance!
