Kodak Alaris extends partnership with NVSSoft

Nov. 30, 2014 - PRLog -- Dubai, UAE - The information management challenges faced by organisations today are daunting as people seek to cope with the seemingly mutually exclusive demands to provide high quality customer service quickly yet at lower cost.  Add to this the desire to choose technology that is straightforward to implement and easy to use and the challenges only increase.

To address this, Kodak Alaris today announced that following Gitex it has signed an agreement to extend its existing partnership with NVSSoft to provide best-in-class intelligent information management, capture and document solutions primarily for the healthcare and government sectors. It demonstrates that Gitex truly is the place where the IT industry can meet to create new business opportunities to better serve customers in the region.

Martin Birch, Kodak Alaris’ EAMER managing director for document Imaging, says, ”The combination of Kodak Alaris technologies and NVSSoft software provides our customers with comprehensive market driven solutions covering applications such as digital medical records, CRM and eForms. They improve and streamline business processes, maximise efficiency and improve performance.”

Building on a successful relationship that dates back a decade, the two companies will combine NVSSoft’s software with Kodak Alaris’ comprehensive professional services and capture technology including the network-ready Kodak ScanStation 700 Series.  This easy to use, walk up device has a 9.7 inch touch screen and requires no dedicated PC. It integrates network connectivity and imaging functionality to make scanning effortless in a shared environment across multiple department or office locations.

The new commercial arrangement will initially focus on two fully integrated offerings from NVSSoft and Kodak Alaris:

o   PractiScan – a network-ready scanning solution which simplifies document sharing at point of sale or customer service situations.  It is ideal for use by government, financial institutions and telecommunication operators. For example, a NVSSoft eForms solution could be installed on a Kodak ScanStation to enable customer applications from branch offices to be managed quickly by scanning passport or ID information locally, attaching it to the eForm and sending the whole application over the network to headquarters for final approval or processing.

o   MedLogic eHIM - an electronic health information management solution which offers hospitals and medical institutions a comprehensive electronic medical records solution. This covers patient file management, tasks, integrated digital dictation, billing and coding, real-time access to patient charts as well as medical report generator functionality.

Self evidently, hospitals shifting away from paper to digital records improve patient care, reduce operational costs, increase staff productivity as well as avoid the damage, loss or security issues inherent with moving patient paperwork around their local health systems.  Working together, NVSSoft and Kodak Alaris will deploy innovative scanning and software – based on Medlogic eHIM – to meet the needs of even the most demanding of medical environments.

Mhd. Samer Al Siouty, NVSSoft’s CEO, says, “Customers want an end-to end solution with a trusted partner who can really deliver for them. Given our 20 years track record working in the document imaging industry, plus a much closer working relationship with Kodak Alaris which we’re announcing today, it’s good news for everyone: us, Kodak Alaris and, of course, the customers we jointly serve.”
