WINSTON-SALEM, N.C., and ROCHESTER, N.Y , August 24 - Silas Technologies, Inc. and Eastman Kodak Company today announced the addition of Silas Reveille for KODAK Capture Software within the new 6.7 release of KODAK Capture Software. Silas Reveille provides proactive, real-time application monitoring and metrics reporting specifically for the KODAK Capture Software environment. With Silas Reveille, managers and supervisors can evaluate process productivity, pinpoint problem areas within the capture environment and analyze capture metrics at an operator, department or enterprise level.

“Enterprise content management” (ECM**) based processes are now business-critical just like core customer service, supply chain, or customer fulfillment processes,” said Brian DeWyer, CTO of Silas Technologies. “ This requires a solution that can rapidly understand the health and productivity of the overall ECM environment. By implementing Silas Reveille, Kodak’s customers can know that the services delivered through their KODAK Capture Software are available and responsive to customer demands, in particular allowing them to optimize the document capture portion of their ECM environment.”

Improving Productivity with Silas Reveille for Content Management

Silas Reveille for Content Management is an ECM application monitoring solution that proactively isolates and triages problems that affect the quality of ECM application services such as capture, workflow, and object storage. Silas Reveille uniquely monitors both business-critical and supporting ECM infrastructure applications through a single, easy-to-use product with actionable, browser-based dashboards.

“The ability to measure, in real time, actual productivity and throughput creates obvious competitive advantages,” said Robert Bijster, worldwide portfolio business manager Document Imaging Software Products, Eastman Kodak Company, “Silas Reveille helps our customers proactively identify technology, personnel or business process issues that could compromise service levels, enabling managers to resolve those issues immediately and improve the productivity of their scanning operations.”

Silas Reveille is the only product that monitors ECM applications from an end-to-end operational view, installs in hours and can result in a positive financial impact within days. Silas Reveille provides records management, operations and IT executives with real-time information and metrics that help ensure ECM systems are running at optimum levels.

"Doculabs consulting clients are struggling to address the need for increased return on their content management investments," said James Watson, Chief Executive Officer at technology consulting firm Doculabs Inc., (www.doculabs.com), an independent consulting firm. "Process monitoring for capture operations is one area where a more visible and discrete set of metrics can help an organization identify inefficiencies and take action."

Silas Reveille Delivers Improved ROI for KODAK Capture Software Customers

Silas Reveille generates information that can be used for in-depth analysis, reporting and historical trends concerning the health of ECM applications and the resources that support them.

“Throughput is a critical measure for determining ROI,” said Tim Vaughan, worldwide product marketing manager, Eastman Kodak Company. “The operational metrics provided by Silas Reveille will be of tremendous benefit to businesses who have implemented KODAK Production Scanners into their content management processes. The combination of this exceptional software with Kodak's scanners is another example of how Kodak is providing customers with the advanced technologies to grow their businesses.”
