Tips for Evaluating Scanning Solutions Before You Buy: A White Paper For Purchasing A Scanning Solution For Your Digital Copier or Scanner

scanning thumbnail Total cost of ownership (TCO) attempts to quantify the costs associated with a specific product implementation over the lifecycle of the product. This type of analysis is essential to financial decision makers who must take a long-term view of IT spending above and beyond the initial acquisition costs. Office copiers and scanners must now be looked at in the same way.

  • The goal is to answer questions such as:
    “How much will it cost us to use this technology over the next five years (or the term of the copier lease)?”
  • “How much can our organization save by implementing
    Vendor A’s solution compared to Vendor B’s?”

On any IT project, initial acquisition costs typically represent only a small percentage of the total cost of ownership. Much more significant are the “hidden costs” associated with a particular solution.

It must be simple and easy to use—very easy to use. Our solutions work with standard digital copiers and office scanners, and provide a simple touch-screen interface that makes scanning as easy as copying.
