Brother Introduces Desktop Scanning Solutions For SMBsBRIDGEWATER, N.J., March 3, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Brother International Corporation, a multi-billion dollar leader in technology for offices of all sizes, today announced medium-to-high volume desktop scanners directly aligned to key IT and business initiatives. These new and enhanced devices play an important role in the SMB document lifecycle, increasing efficiency for small and mid-size businesses (SMBs) in industries such as healthcare, retail, education, finance, legal and more. The scanners are part of a broader effort from Brother that help companies optimize the use of printers and scanners so they can reduce costs, increase productivity and realize improved workflow. An earlier example of this effort is the Brother "Don't Supersize. Optimize" initiative launched in October, which encourages SMBs to explore balanced technology deployments. The new scanners, along with award-winning printers and all-in-ones, make up a strong SMB product portfolio. Additionally, these devices can be combined with software and cloud solutions that empower mobility, enhance document security and support cost recovery efforts. Addressing the specific needs of SMB capture workflows, Brother today introduced desktop scanners focused on two distinct areas. First, the ADS-2000e and ADS-2500We, enhanced versions of the ADS-2000 and the ADS-2500W, package business-grade features to support an effective de-centralized document capture and management strategy for SMBs. Of note, the ADS-2500We builds upon the critically acclaimed ADS-2500W, previously awarded the Buyers Laboratory (BLI) Outstanding Achievement award in Innovation. With a color touchscreen display and wireless connectivity, the ADS-2500We includes features that support key enterprise IT initiatives:
The PDS models deliver superior image quality required for precise document handling. These solutions provide the best-in-class image quality and significantly improved OCR capabilities, transforming documents into usable data that can be integrated into workflow processes easily via expanded integration with the TWAIN driver. "SMBs count on Brother for reliable and innovative business solutions. These new desktop scanners with enhanced features and interoperability can help SMBs transform manual paper processes into easy and efficient electronic document workflows. Additionally, scanners allow customers to store data and communicate information that historically has been locked in hard-copy form," said Dan Waldinger, director of Marketing. The ADS scanners are available now and the PDS-series scanners will be available in April. To locate a reseller, visit the Brother Business Solutions Center.
