Scanning Solution Allows Users More Direct Control of Documents Throughout
Entire Lifecycle
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- Ricoh Corporation, the leading
provider of digital office equipment announced today that it will showcase
an integrated, secure document scanning solution at the RSA(R) Conference
2007 (Booth #1037) with Adobe Systems Incorporated in the Moscone Center,
San Francisco, CA. Thwarting unauthorized access to confidential documents
processed through Ricoh Aficio(R) multifunction products (MFPs), the
solution combines Ricoh ScanRouter(TM) EX Professional software with
Adobe(R) LiveCycle(R) Policy Server software to deliver a secured
paper-to-digital document solution.
"Adobe and Ricoh are able to provide a comprehensive, secure document
routing system that puts the authorized user in control," said Jeff
Whatcott, vice president of product marketing, Enterprise and Developer
Business Unit at Adobe. "Security has consistently been highlighted as one
of Information Technology's most important priorities. Businesses can now
put their minds at ease when confidential documents are shared across the
enterprise, as well as with external third parties."
Building upon its global alliance announced in May 2006, Ricoh and
Adobe are offering users the ability to manage risk at the
point-of-capture. Paper documents are scanned at the Ricoh MFP where the
security policy is applied. To ensure the information remains safe, the
security policy remains with the document through its lifetime, whether it
is transferred inside or outside the corporate firewall. These secure
documents are then delivered to internal user and third-party email
inboxes, folders or FTP locations via Ricoh's ScanRouter EX Professional.
Further benefits of the Ricoh-Adobe integrated solution are gained from
the availability of the Adobe PDF Scan Library, which operates in
conjunction with the LiveCycle Policy Server. Paired with Ricoh's
ScanRouter EX Professional solution, the Adobe PDF Scan Library enables
Ricoh's ScanRouter to generate searchable, more secure and compact PDF
files from scanned paper documents. In essence, this integration of Adobe
technologies with Ricoh solutions will allow users to create and manage
intelligent documents with enterprise applications and various business
processes.
"Today's Chief Information Officers (CIOs) are tasked with protecting
data and ensuring enterprise rights management (ERM) best practices," said
Hede Nonaka, senior vice president, Document Solutions & Services Division
(DSS), Ricoh Corporation. "Together, Ricoh and Adobe are helping CIOs
better protect information and support the compliance of regulated
content."
