Studies indicate it takes approximately 90 seconds to type manually the
information from one business card into an electronic contact manager.
Because it is a tedious chore, business cards containing highly valuable
contact information remain inaccessible and disorganized, buried at the
bottom of briefcases and desk drawers. scanR solves this problem by
enabling easy electronic capture, viewing, organization and sharing of
business contact information using a device which people already carry with
them -- a camera phone or digital camera.
"The scanR Business Card service is the world's most accurate business
card scanner, yet it works with just your camera or camera phone," said
Andrew Laszlo, President and Co-Founder of scanR. "Combining high accuracy
and low cost, scanR is an excellent fit for salesforce.com customers, whose
success is dependent on accurately capturing and managing contact
information and sales leads."
"For salesforce.com customers seeking to harness the value of contact
information, scanR for AppExchange is an ideal solution," said Matt
Holleran, vice president, AppExchange partners, salesforce.com. "With
scanR, salesforce.com customers can easily capture contact information from
business cards without having to type the information manually. Once
captured, the information is then seamlessly synchronized and organized
within Salesforce."
scanR for AppExchange is one of more than 300 applications created by
salesforce.com, its customers and partners that are now available on the
salesforce.com AppExchange, the world's first on-demand application
platform. AppExchange provides unprecedented ease of customization and
