ImageNow Overview

UMass Amherst IT maintains an imaging application available to all UMass Amherst departments (faculty and staff). The imaging system uses ImageNow from Perceptive Software. ImageNow has been used on campus since 2005, with the number of users growing significantly each year.

ImageNow is a reliable solution for any document management needs. It works by capturing documents electronically and storing them on a central server. Once they have been captured, they are inspected for quality and indexed with document keys, so they can be easily searched and retrieved. In addition to the electronic storage capabilities, ImageNow offers a powerful workflow component that can be used to process documents electronically. Workflow can be set up to map any paper process, no matter how simple or complex, making business routines more streamlined, more accurate, and faster.
