Unisys has introduced the Unisys InfoImage Connector developed by the company in collaboration with Microsoft, for Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007.

This will enable Unisys customers to connect Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 and Unisys InfoImage document imaging and workflow services. Unisys InfoImage is presently used by financial services firms, government agencies, and other organisations to process high volumes of loans, claims and tax forms in digital form.

Jeff Parker, president of independent analyst firm Directions on Microsoft said, ‘Many of the world’s largest institutions already rely on the Unisys InfoImage platform to process and manage millions of transactional documents every day. The new Unisys InfoImage SharePoint connector makes it easier for information workers in these institutions to access and use content captured in an InfoImage repository using the familiar Microsoft Office user interface.’ X

The InfoImage Connector for Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 allows enterprise users to effectively repurpose content and manage records across both service suites, regardless of  where the content was created. Paul Barber, director of ECM Program, Unisys said, ‘Organisations are dealing with critical issues around document proliferation, management, storage, and operations efficiency. By combining the strengths of Unisys and Microsoft, we are able to effectively address our clients’ two largest sets of documents and processes, transaction content and collaborative content.’
