Scanning Tips – Document Prep

Wednesday, April 13th, 2011

new-scannerAt OfficeDrop, we know a lot about efficiently processing and scanning documents. But digitization can be a bit of a hassle, and a lot of people tend to blame their scanners when things go wrong.

But it’s not usually the hardware that is at fault! One of the major causes of scanner malfunctions is poor document preparation. Things like staples, mis-feads, and torn paper can really slow down your scanning process.

Chris Riley has a great list of document prep tips over on the AIIM blog. He calls it “Scanner Rage,” but we call it a great synopsis of how to make your scanning more efficient and higher quality.

Check out his tips for more efficient scanning!

Wednesday, March 9th, 2011

Josh Zerkel, Professional Organizer and owner of Custom Living Solutions, has recently posted a great piece on getting control of your receipts.

We think that OfficeDrop’s paperless solution can help with his 2nd step – sorting, which can be done in our online folders and by using our labels. Finding a home is easy when you have a digital filing system and you can use either our mail in scanning service to get paper into your account or our ScanDrop scanning software (including the Mac version) to get digital. Tracking, step 4, is easy when we make your paper text searchable!

Scan to Evernote

ScanDrop – Scan Directly to Evernote

We are really impressed and excited at the traction we continue to get with our ScanDrop scanner software! When we get asked “why should I use ScanDrop to scan to Evernote” we like to remind people of the following advantages of ScanDrop’s Evernote connection – mainly that you can make important Evernote metatag decisions when you have the most content, right at the time of scanning:

  1. You can pick the Evernote notebook that you want to scan into right from ScanDrop
  2. Pick your Evernote tags prior to upload, while
  3. Easy file naming makes finding the document even easier after you’ve uploaded it
  4. Rockstar PDF and OCR – ScanDrop uses Evernote’s industry leading conversion and optical character recognition software, not the outdated software that comes with your scanner. If your documents are living in the cloud, why use old school software to make them searchable?
  5. Dead simple PDF editing tools like drag and drop page re-ordering and simple delete, rotation, etc

We really think ScanDrop is the fastest way to get your paper into Evernote. Get the Scan to Evernote software! And remember, you can also Scan to Google Docs with ScanDrop! And Mac users, visit our ScanDrop Mac page to get the Mac scanner software.

Managing Distributed Teams with Enterprise 2.0

Monday, November 8th, 2010

fiercecontentmanagementI recently came across an article on Enterprise 2.0 and “the disconnected knowledge worker” by Ron Miller of Fierce Content Management. Ron’s thesis is that new collaboration tools can help keep distributed workforces in close contact, promote team building and enhance efficiency.

I 100% agree!

OfficeDrop’s team is in several time zones and we use a variety of tools to manage our company. We even use enterprise 2.0 tools to manage our scanning center – even though it is not distributed, we have a couple of shifts of workers and need to make sure each shift has all the information they need to successfully complete projects for our clients.

We also use our own tool to manage relationships with our investment group, bookkeeper and lawyer. Cloud content management + distributed scanning and online cloud document storage really help keep us on the same page. When we scan a document into OfficeDrop’s online storage (or email it to the cloud), we pick specific folders that we have shared with our service providers, like our accountant. At the end of the month, she knows to look in those folders for supporting documents that help her close our books.
