COVID-19 Generates Massive Expansion of Work-From-Home Programs
Josh Bohls
As the novel coronavirus sweeps across the world disrupting events and workplaces, more and more employees will be forced to work remotely. This creates cascading issues for IT including (among many others) losing access to leased office copiers and scanners. Groups of employees who rely on the office document scanner to scan contracts, forms, expense reports, etc. will suddenly be forced to use a home scanner, go to a public facility (ex. FedEx Office), or worse - rely on a consumer-grade document scanning mobile app.
The majority of popular document scanning apps for iPhone and Android devices are reliant on advertising revenue and they do not invest in security or data protections. Last year one of these apps was pulled from the Google Play Store after it was revealed to contain malware. Read our Shadow IT White Paper on this topic. In short, these have no place in the enterprise.
Since the COVID-19 outbreak we have seen a surge of interest from companies seeking a secure document scanning app for remote employees. The CAPTOR secure content capture app is a perfect solution for remote employees using a mobile device to scan paper documents, balancing productivity with IT management and data protection.
CAPTOR is built for security, providing 100% corporate control over the scanned documents and other multimedia content (photos, videos, recorded audio). At no point will content be processed or stored on Inkscreen servers (review our privacy policy for details). CAPTOR is a managed app, designed to be configured and deployed by your company's EMM, such as MobileIron, BlackBerry UEM, or Microsoft InTune.
Over the last five years we have added a variety of configurable options to CAPTOR, including PDF versioning (PDF/A), watermarking, metadata manipulation, backup to a content management server or OneDrive, etc. We specialize in regulated industries and government and we can deliver on tough requirements.
If your company is looking for a secure content capture app to satisfy #WFH use cases, request a trial or contact us today.
