Visioneer OneTouch to the Cloud
Visioneer, the makers of both Visioneer scanners and Xeros small business scanners, announced today that they have integrated their scanners’ Visioneer OneTouch software with OfficeDrop’s cloud filing system and with our ScanDrop scanner software.
Click on the picture above to learn more about Visioneer Connect OneTouch to the Cloud and to download the updated software from Visioneer.
This is a big deal because it shows that major scanner equipment manufacturers are not only taking cloud storage seriously, the are taking OfficeDrop’s online filing system seriously.
As OfficeDrop continues to grow our cloud content management platform we are committed to working with other scanner manufacturers to make it seamless and simple to digitize to the cloud.
Here is a little bit from the press release announcing the Visioneer OneTouch to the Cloud:
According to Anne Valaitis an Associate Director at InfoTrends, “Businesses today are looking for devices and applications that help them conduct business more economically and effectively. This has fueled significant interest in the use of cloud computing. In fact, in a recent study by InfoTrends 68% of IT administrators reported they are currently using or considering cloud computing. By offering connectivity to the cloud, Visioneer is addressing customer demands for effortless usability.”
“No other scanner company offers as many cloud scanning options for such a broad range of scanners models. Every Visioneer and Xerox scanner supporting OneTouch 4.6 or greater is immediately enabled,” said John Capurso, vice president of marketing at Visioneer. “Visioneer CONNECT represents the most comprehensive set of cloud scanning solutions available to extend the usual terrestrial destinations to the leading cloud on-line services. As Visioneer releases more cloud links, you’ll find them at connect.visioneer.com.”
Visioneer CONNECT is the latest link development for Visioneer OneTouch. Your cloud credentials (username and password) can be preset through Visioneer OneTouch so every scan job is not interrupted with log-in details. Most cloud destinations even allow users to choose the folder of their choice and even specify an email address so that a notification email is automatically sent with a link to their file. By scanning images directly to the cloud, users can easily collaborate and share files while working in multiple locations.
Visioneer OneTouch is an award winning utility that simplifies scanning to one button. Everyone wants ease of use and convenience, however sometimes in order to obtain it, you have to sacrifice quality or functionality. Not true when it comes to the Visioneer OneTouch technology. Visioneer OneTouch provides the most elegant ease-of-use scanning experience without “dumbing down” the device.
OfficeDrop has been on a roll recently, being mentioned in a few great publications! Here are the highlights:
David Einstein, business and technology reporter for the San Francisco Chronicle, recommends OfficeDrop as a way to digitize paper documents for record keeping:
Q: I have hundreds of paper documents that I would like to digitize. I don’t need to be able to edit the documents. I’m just interested in record-keeping. Can you recommend a scanning service?
A: You have several options. You can take your documents to Staples and let them do the scanning at a rate of 25 cents per page. That works out to $125 for 500 pages. Or, you could send the documents to a company like OfficeDrop (officedrop.com)…

The final part of the New York Time’s three piece case study on OfficeDrop’s security/background checking policy came out on December 8th. This piece was also briefly featured on the Time’s home page!
The case study we published last week chronicled the efforts of OfficeDrop, a start-up that scans sensitive documents for its clients and therefore must ensure that employees are trustworthy.
The article recounted how Prasad Thammineni, OfficeDrop’s chief executive, struggled at first to find the right background-check company and then faced a daunting variety of checks to choose among…
Let’s hope that the rest of December is as good for press coverage as the first couple of weeks have been!
High Tech in the Hub has just named OfficeDrop as one of Boston’s Top 10 Cloud Computing Startups!
Congrats to GoodData for winning the 2009 AWS Start-up Challenge. OfficeDrop was a finalist in the 2008 AWS Start-up Challenge, and we found the exposure very helpful in the early launch of our service. We love learning how other companies are advancing the use of the cloud with their innovations. The winner and runner up this year are doing some pretty awesome things with the cloud:
The winner, GoodData, is a data visualization service that helps SaaS businesses learn more about their customer base. A very cool product that takes real advantage of the power of cloud computing – the ability to quickly crunch a large data set (and store it too!) and produce intense visualizations. Congratulations to the team there!
The runner up, Bizo, uses the cloud to do intense targeting for B2B companies. With Amazon’s cloud, Bizo can target B2B buyers precisely based on demographics, location and more. This type of computation requires serious computing power, so the cloud is the natural way to build a targeting company.
The journal of New England Technology, Mass High Tech, recently listed OfficeDrop as a “Startup to Follow.” These companies are selected by the publication’s readers. OfficeDrop is very excited that our document management service is included in this list!

Amazon just announced their annual web services Startup Challenge. The prizes include $50,000 in cash, $50,000 in AWS credits, mentoring sessions from AWS technical experts, and AWS Premium Support Gold for one year. OfficeDrop was a finalist in in this competition last year, and it helped us get some of our initial traction and press. We definitely recommend that other startups apply for this year’s competition. OfficeDrop has also had a fair amount of luck winning/making it to the finals in several other cloud computing awards, including winning MITX’s 2009 Cloud Computing Award and being announced as a winner of the 2009 AlwaysOn Global 250 in the category of cloud computing.
We are very excited to have been so successful in these competitions, and thought it might make sense to share some of our game plan for entering these competitions. Here are the steps we take when approching a competition that might be a good fit for OfficeDrop:
This process has worked out pretty well for us, but does require real commitment. However, given the press that we’ve received and the positive attention and feedback we’ve gotten from customers after we’ve won these awards we feel that the work was worth it! Here’s to your chances in the next competition that you enter!! Good Luck!
AO Global 250
We are pleased to announce that OfficeDrop has been selected as a Winner in the 2009 AlwayOn Global 250 under the category of “Cloud and Infrastructure.” The AlwaysOn Global 250 competition highlights the best in new technology and innovation, and this year’s competition placed special emphasis on companies that would build new industries, create new jobs and economic models.
From the AO 250 web site:
“With the 2009 AO 250, we sought to find the companies upon which new industries, jobs, and economies will be built. Yes, each company in its own way brings enhanced efficiencies (the gentler form of creative destruction). But more importantly, the companies represented in this list bring hope. No industry can produce jobs, wealth, and economic momentum like the technology industry. Both directly and indirectly what propels the global economy are new ideas and approaches. The AO 250 is the epicenter of the future.”
“We are honored to have been selected for this prestigious technology award. AlwaysOn has highlighted some amazing companies with this year’s award, including Box.net, Mint.com, Hubspot and QuantCast and we are very pleased to appear in their company,” said Prasad Thammineni.
