Scan Router Pro vs Canon e Copy

It's great to hear what Ricoh can do (one server can serve 16 units, etc.) but we are already supposed to know that. I would love to have someone reiterate what we can use when selling against eCopy. How does our solution vary from Canon's when only dealing with a one unit install? What about two units? How about our free software vs. their free software? What scenario might our free software accomodate but Canon have to add an upgrade to accomodate?

Using Scan Router (Lite or Pro), it does not get any easier than pressing the Scanner Function Key, then selecting your destination and start.

Three key strokes to send a document! Don't think any other MFP can do it more simply.

With eCopy there may be a log-on, then you have to scan your document, because they make you preview it, then you open up a mail client to select your recipients ... too many key strokes.

This is interesting information, I was just got into a large situation where CANON w/ e-copy is the inncumbent. They love it. However all I have heard from end users is how volatile e-copy is. It seems that the perception of not how it does but the end result of the actions is what people are biting off on. In the end, I think that it comes down to how well we can position in. I know i need to work on that end..

What I am trying to get at though, it seems that scanning is all well and good, but is only reaching from end office work. Are there any solutions now, where we can scan and have them land in a companys ERP. From a little research I find that KYOCERA MITA is about to launch that. Anyone know about other competitors or where we stand?

What is ERP? Is it Enterprise Repository??

Looks like something else to learn about...it never ends.

Hello,

There is a utility called ccScan. Just google it. It is a simple Windows based app that allows users to scan directly to Salesforce, Google, Box, Google Drive, Sharepoint and other cloud repositories. And here's the kicker..it's only 180 a year per PC and installs in 5 minutes. No major ecopy server based complicated issues.
