Kodak Alaris Partners with ibml to Offer World's Fastest, Ultra-High-Volume, Intelligent Scanner

DUBAI, UAE, 26th Feb, 2020– Kodak Alaris is partnering with Imaging Business Machines, LLC (ibml) to deliver the next generation of ultra-high-volume scanners to the Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) market. With the recent launch of ibml FUSiON Scanners, and as ibml’s lead distribution partner in the region, Kodak Alaris is uniquely positioned to serve a market demanding smart solutions that deliver business process automation at higher speeds than ever before.

Gerry Kelliher, EMEA Managing Director, Kodak Alaris said, “Our partnership with ibml goes back nearly a decade and a half. The company’s world class solutions perfectly complement Kodak Alaris’ portfolio, allowing us to provide ultra-high-speed intelligent capture solutions to our customers. Our team has had great success delivering ibml solutions, where we are able to offer a range of maintenance options and professional services as part of an implementation. We are excited about the launch of the ibml Fusion series scanners, which will be a game-changer that speeds up digital transformation for enterprises in the region.”

The new ibml FUSiON Series ignites the fusion of disparate capture processes into one streamlined solution, using in-line intelligence at blazing fast throughput speeds up to 730 A4 pages per minute and 938 checks per minute. As the world’s fastest, intelligent, scalable document capture platform, ibml FUSiON accelerates customers’ mission-critical applications by extracting information from documents to digital processes, thus enabling digital transformation. 

In a survey by the Association for Intelligent Information Management (AIIM), 62 percent of organizations said they, “are committed to digital transformation.” Paper documents remain a large source of business input for organizations. Ever-increasing data volumes demand exponentially faster processing and ways to eliminate tedious and unnecessary pre-scan and post-scan labor, which eats 76 percent of total capture costs and majorly drains operational efficiency[1]. ibml’s FUSiON brings previously uncontrolled information under control.

“For nearly three decades, the world’s largest organizations in the most data-rich environments such as banking, government and BPOs have trusted ibml to overcome their core information management challenges,” said ibml President and CEO Martin Birch. “Using industry-leading intelligence and accelerated speeds, we extract actionable data, capture insights and expedite critical decision-making for our customers located in over 48 countries. With the ibml FUSiON, shifting to one infrastructure for all capture needs allows organizations to radically reduce real estate, labor and maintenance costs while pushing productivity forward. ibml FUSiON is poised to truly transform those industries with the most demanding document capture needs of today and tomorrow, empowering their digital transformation, while reducing costs.” 

ibml FUSiON Series sets new benchmarks for high-volume intelligent capture. Every part of the capture process is done smarter – from feeding to exception handling to automated sorting. With all this added intellect, employees are free to focus on other important tasks. The product has the fastest throughput in its class. It is 67 percent faster than its predecessor and allows customers to do mission-critical jobs in tight timelines and handle greater volume, driving better productivity and lowering costs. It features optimized usability and improved service accessibility with a sleek, ergonomic body design that’s engineered to last decades. Intuitive controls deliver a better operator experience—reducing training and increasing overall productivity.

“ibml FUSiON was developed with our customers, based on a deep understanding of their pain points with different devices they use for high-volume document capture,” said ibml Vice President of Engineering Pete Rudak. “We then applied the right technology and innovation to solve those problems, and the result is ibml FUSiON, a comprehensive solution that combines a sleek modern design with the fastest speed, the highest image quality and the intelligence everyone expects from ibml.”
