Fujitsu Introduces New Cloud Services Support to Its ScanSnap Scanner Line; Launches Official iPad/iPhone ScanSnap App

SUNNYVALE, Calif., Oct. 24, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Fujitsu, the market leader in document imaging scanners, today announced new capabilities for sending scanned paperwork to the Apple® iPad and iPhone, in addition to new functionality allowing users to upload scanned documents to a wide range of cloud-based services using its ScanSnap S1500, S1500M, S1300 and S1100.

With the launch of its first official app for both the iPad and iPhone -- "ScanSnap Connect" -- consumers have a convenient way to send and store their scans to their mobile device, and organizations have a flexible solution to assist with collaboration between colleagues and business partners.

Furthermore, ScanSnap now enables users to scan documents directly to Salesforce Chatter™ and SugarSync, in addition to the scanner's cloud services support for Evernote and Google Docs™, giving users even more flexibility to store, share and access their paperwork. Whether it is scanning contracts, receipts, bills, invoices, or business cards on the road or using a PC in one place and a Mac in another, consumers have the necessary tools to be even more productive and paperless virtually anywhere.

"Today, everything is mobile, connected, interactive and immediate, which is helping shape consumer behavior and drive cloud computing," said Michael Sidejas, product marketing manager, Fujitsu Computer Products of America, Inc. "We've taken pride in our ability to quickly evolve ScanSnap's capabilities and add new features that no other document management company offers today to provide consumers and business professionals the most productive, versatile scanning experience."

New Solutions for a Paperless Lifestyle

The ScanSnap S1500, S1500M, S1300 and S1100 are all capable of supporting the new enhancements and current users can update their existing software using the built-in online update feature accessible from the ScanSnap icon help menu that resides in the task tray or dock. Detailed instructions can also be found here: http://scanners.fcpa.fujitsu.com/ss_enhancements/.

Additionally, ScanSnap Connect can be downloaded to the iPhone or iPad through the iTunes App Store. Once updated, new "Scan-to" icons will appear on the Quick Menu providing operators additional flexibility in where to send their digital documents. Below is additional information on the services presently supported by ScanSnap S1500, S1500M, S1300 and S1100:

• Scan to Mobile: The new free app, ScanSnap Connect, is now available from the iTunes App Store for iPad and iPhone running iOS 4.2.1 or later. With Scan to Mobile on your Mac® or PC and ScanSnap Connect on your iPhone or iPad, you can now send scanned content directly to your mobile device using your WiFi connection.
• Scan to Salesforce Chatter: Scan various customer-related documents with ScanSnap and save the image data to the powerful online collaboration tool Salesforce Chatter. This function, when combined with CardMinder business card software for Windows, enables users to efficiently collect and share digitized paperwork across an enterprise.
• Scan to SugarSync: Stay connected with your documents wherever you go with SugarSync, one of today's premier online cloud storage services. Through file syncing, this service can backup scanned documents as you save them to your PC or Mac for convenient data archiving.
• Scan to Evernote: Evernote is your "external brain." Anything you put there will be synchronized and accessible to you from any supported computer or mobile device making it even easier to find your scanned paperwork.
• Scan to Google Docs: Google Docs makes sharing and collaboration of various digital documents easy, but when it comes to paper documents, getting that information from the desktop to Google Docs can be a hassle. With ScanSnap, you can add scan-to-Google Docs capability, so you can quickly and easily scan and upload all of your paper documents into Google Docs.
