Legal documents
Businesses interested in document management imaging software are often put off by the apparent lack of confidence when using electronic images as evidence in court, especially when the original paper documents have been destroyed. Canon has responded to this by producing a manual to enable implementers of ScanFile, to develop "best practice" guidelines and improve confidence in the legal integrity of generated electronic images. "Canon's ScanFile imaging software seeks to reduce the need to maintain paper-based files by creating electronic copies which can be archived saving on time, office space and ultimately cost", says Abby Denton, marketing executive, Canon. "Together with the ScanFile Compliance Documentation for Legal Admissibility businesses will have more faith in the legal legitimacy of Canon's document management software." System standards covered by the manual include document storage considerations, access levels, image processes, compression techniques and environmental issues. The manual comes complete with a signed certificate of compliance from an independent body and a full copy of the BSI-DISC PD0008: 1999 booklet. The total cost of the manual is £150 (RRP exc. VAT) Canon ScanFile image software is specifically designed to help businesses manage high volumes of paper-based storage and offers a "paperless" solution to law firms, financial institutions, libraries and local authorities to name but a few.
