**_Owen Balloch,EMEA Marketing Manager, Kodak Alaris Information Management, explains why a successful digital transformation strategy demands an ecosystem of solutions working together to produce optimal results._**

It’s been well documented that organisations see digital transformation as key to gaining a competitive business advantage. In a recently published white paper, IDC reports that digitising, automating and optimising document workflows offers compelling benefits including, on average, a 35 per cent reduction in costs, 42 per cent reduction in paper documents, and 52 per cent reduction in errors [\[i\]](#_edn1).

The amount of data flowing into and out of organisations continues to grow exponentially, so much so that volume is now measured in zettabytes – a trillion gigabytes, and transforming this data chaos into critical information to drive efficiency,is very much a business-critical priority.

Manual processes present an unnecessary hurdle to creating [transparency and efficiency](https://www.financedigest.com/factoring-in-fail-safes-five-practical-steps-for-more-efficient-transparent-reporting.html "Factoring in fail-safes: five practical steps for more efficient, transparent reporting") for organisations. Any paper-based process for customer onboarding, to process a loan request, file an insurance claim, or open an account for example, must be digitised to facilitate [sharing and reduce](https://www.financedigest.com/frances-dassault-systemes-shares-slump-on-reduced-licence-target.html "France’s Dassault Systemes shares slump on reduced licence target") risk.

[Digital transformation](https://www.financedigest.com/the-future-of-fintech-forging-ahead-with-digital-transformation.html "The future of fintech: Forging ahead with digital transformation") starts with information capture – however the scale and complexity of data today requires an integrated approach, to help organisations not only capture, but to process, store and share all of this information. Anne Valaitis, Senior Consultant at InfoTrends said that the Alaris IN2 Ecosystem, a powerful combination of best-in-class scanners, software, services and partnerships, is a [packaged answer to the demands](https://www.financedigest.com/demand-for-temperature-controlled-pharma-packaging-solutions-to-reach-over-us-9-bn-by-2030-fmi-projects-a-decline-till-q2-2020-amid-covid-19-pandemic.html "Demand for Temperature Controlled Pharma Packaging Solutions to Reach over US$ 9 Bn by 2030; FMI Projects a Decline till Q2 2020 Amid COVID-19 Pandemic") of information and content.

The IN2 Ecosystem has been designed to take the complexity out of information capture, to simplify and improve the way people work.It helps organisations extract information from documents to increase productivity, enhance customer experiences and ultimately drive [revenue growth](https://www.financedigest.com/blood-bag-tube-sealer-market-to-witness-excellent-revenue-growth-overview-emerging-trends-and-forecast-by-2028.html "Blood Bag Tube Sealer Market to Witness Excellent Revenue Growth, Overview, Emerging Trends and Forecast by 2028"). It delivers the Right Fit with seamless integration into customer environments, the Right Experience that simplifies information capture, and the Right Results that deliver superior business value and [higher return](https://www.financedigest.com/boohoo-warns-on-outlook-blaming-higher-returns-and-pandemic-costs.html "Boohoo warns on outlook, blaming higher returns and pandemic costs") on investment.

“Working with their heritage and history of image science, and further placing a greater emphasis on an ecosystem that includes strong partnerships, Kodak Alaris’ goal with the IN2 solution is to [focus in key areas](https://www.financedigest.com/three-areas-of-focus-for-financial-service-cisos-in-2022.html "Three areas of focus for Financial Service CISOs in 2022") that can benefit most from a combination of capture hardware, software and services delivered by strategic partners,” Valaitis stated.

Kodak Alaris is delivering on the promise of [digital transformation](https://www.financedigest.com/apis-are-powering-the-acceleration-in-digital-transformation.html "APIs are powering the acceleration in digital transformation") for businesses and governments around the world, with the launch of a range of new scanners, complementary software solutions and services.

The new S2000 Series includes two USB-connected models (Alaris S2050 and S2070) and two network/wireless models (Alaris S2060w and S2080w) which [deliver rated](https://www.financedigest.com/britain-lifts-rates-by-most-since-1995-latest-to-deliver-aggressive-hikes.html "Britain lifts rates by most since 1995, latest to deliver aggressive hikes") speeds between 50 and 80 pages per minute (ppm). This new scanner series has been [designed to increase productivity](https://www.financedigest.com/product-design-verification-and-validation-solution-market-2021-present-scenario-and-growth-prospects-2025.html "Product Design Verification And Validation Solution Market 2021 | Present Scenario and Growth Prospects 2025") by automating much of the work traditionally done by people and host computers. Embedded Image Processing within the scanner delivers crisp, clear images without requiring a high-powered (or expensive) host PC. Breakthrough Active Feed [Technology aligns the leading edge of paper to avoid](https://www.financedigest.com/coca-cola-digital-ad-campaigns-use-seenthis-streaming-technology-to-avoid-excessive-carbon-footprint.html "Coca-Cola Digital Ad Campaigns Use SeenThis Streaming Technology to Avoid Excessive Carbon Footprint") multi-feeds and misfeeds, and Controlled Output Stacking places paper neatly in the output tray. Users benefit from spending less [time preparing documents for scanning and dealing](https://www.financedigest.com/italys-cdp-and-partners-ask-tim-for-more-time-for-network-deal.html "Italy’s CDP and partners ask TIM for more time for network deal") with messy output stacks.

Furthermore, three optional flatbed accessories can be integrated with the scanners for increased versatility and productivity. For example, the S2000 Series is designed to ‘dock’ on top of the new Alaris Passport Flatbed Accessory, offering a quick and easy solution for scanning passports, ID cards and other small, fragile documents.

A new [generation of software offers flexible and powerful](https://www.financedigest.com/rising-investments-in-renewable-power-generation-to-amplify-demand-of-substation-monitoring-system-market-fact-mr-report.html "Rising Investments in Renewable Power Generation to Amplify Demand of Substation Monitoring System Market: Fact.MR Report") batch capture. Alaris Capture Pro [Software v5.5 is a dedicated workstation-based information capture solution](https://www.financedigest.com/healthcare-software-solutions-to-ride-the-immunohematology-market.html "Healthcare Software Solutions to ride the Immunohematology Market") that ensures security and reliability without depending on internet connectivity for scanning and processing. It seamlessly delivers information to databases and applications, including Enterprise Content Management (ECM) systems and Microsoft SharePoint Online (Office 365). Capture Pro Software is also ideal for high-performance distributed scanning environments and has been optimised to work seamlessly with the new S2000 Series Scanners.

Alaris Info Input Solution and Info Input Express are web-based and mobile capture applications that are easy to implement and use for workers who regularly scan across departments and enterprises. Info Input Solution and Express enable effortless information capture from scanners, [smart devices](https://www.financedigest.com/smart-home-devices-market-is-expected-to-grow-at-a-healthy-cagr-of-over-18-during-the-study-forecast-period-2021-2031.html "Smart Home Devices Market is expected to grow at a healthy CAGR of over 18% during the study forecast period 2021-2031") (via mobile app), and digital files (including email) from one application. Info Input Express Limited Edition is bundled with every S2000 Series Scanner.

In addition to expert Repair and Maintenance Services to optimise uptime and [productivity and Professional Services to deliver in-depth](https://www.financedigest.com/dry-molasses-products-market-overview-in-depth-analysis-of-market-size-growth-industry-overview-2022-2029-2.html "Dry Molasses Products Market Overview In-depth Analysis of Market Size, Growth, Industry Overview 2022-2029") advice, subject matter expertise and value, the IN2 ecosystem now offers Managed Content Services (MCS) in select regions.

By developing an MCS partnership with Alaris, customers gain a team of [industry experts that help maximise the efficiency and power](https://www.financedigest.com/recent-research-high-power-industrial-burners-market-to-witness-steady-growth-at-4-1-cagr-by-2021-to-2031-persistence-market-research.html "Recent Research: High Power Industrial Burners Market To Witness Steady Growth At 4.1% CAGR By 2021 to 2031: Persistence Market Research") of their total capture environment. MCS helps organisations by providing a better understanding of total imaging costs, improving service level agreements (SLAs), and driving sustainable savings. For example, the UK operations of an international bank used Alaris Managed Content Services to re-engineer its [document](https://www.financedigest.com/document-management-software-market-to-expand-at-a-value-cagr-of-12-3.html "Document Management Software Market to expand at a value CAGR of 12.3%") management processes. As a result, they replaced outdated equipment, reduced the number of scanning workflow processes by 90 per cent, and dramatically reduced total cost of ownership, all while significantly increasing productivity.

[Digital transformation is critical](https://www.financedigest.com/critical-learnings-in-digital-transformation.html "Critical learnings in digital transformation ") within the finance sector where organisations are looking to differentiate themselves from competitors, optimise their business structure, manage risk, ensure compliance, and ultimately achieve profitable growth. Effective information [management is a key](https://www.financedigest.com/energy-management-system-market-2021-by-global-key-players-types-applications-countries-industry-size-and-forecast-to-2025.html "Energy Management System Market 2021 by Global Key Players, Types, Applications, Countries, Industry Size and Forecast to 2025") component in this journey.Organisations that successfully master [digital transformation](https://www.financedigest.com/evolution-not-revolution-digital-transformation-today.html "EVOLUTION, NOT REVOLUTION: Digital transformation today") recognise the importance of implementing an ecosystem of hardware, software and services that take the complexity out of information capture.
