IPRO eCapture has a typical client/server architecture, in which the controller distributes the work to the cluster of fully automated workstations. With no user interaction, workstations automatically pick up work from the centralized console as needed, making eCapture a highly scalable solution in which you just add more workstations and point them to the controller to increase daily throughput. IPRO eCapture can support enough workstations to convert 75 to 100 GB/day of electronic files to images.

Intuitive The eCapture user interface is intuitive and easy to use. The centralized console gives you all the options to complete a project in one place, so the system is easy to maintain even with minimal staff. The QC application also has a very intuitive interface and gives you the power to do what’s needed to complete the jobs.

Powerful The superior architecture and design of IPRO eCapture give it unparalleled power. With all the tools readily at hand on the easy-to-use centralized console, the user drives the powerful e discovery engine. One user can oversee all production work with just one computer workstation.
