Ascent Ricochet is one of 15 products to be named Best of AIIM 2002 by Transform Magazine.

Ascent Ricochet is a browser based capture utility that lets ordinary business users submit images and electronic documents to Ascent Capture workflows. It taps the full power of Ascent Capture while shielding users from the complexity that makes Ascent the most popular choice for the most sophisticated, high-volume document and data capture environments.

Distributed capture solutions requiring investment in scanners, capture software and specially trained staff at each office where capture will occur are an effective solution where substantial document volumes must be captured at each site. However when volumes are small Ascent Ricochet may be the best choice. It enables the knowledge worker to initiate workflow using their desktop Web browser and the nearest digital copier or multifunction peripheral (MFP).

Ricochet amplifies the benefits of distributed capture: workflow can be initiated in minutes versus hours (or days for centrally scanned documents), and pre-indexing by the content expert, rather than a scanning specialist, results in more accurate classification of mission critical documents.

Organisations can enjoy the benefits of distributed capture without the cost and hassle of desktop software installations from CD at each site, and without purchasing additional software products for the designated offices. Your central administrator supplies a Web address where users can go to download the product.
