Montreal, Canada – Objectif Lune, a worldwide leader in the development and commercialization of VDP and workflow automation solutions, today announced the release of PlanetPress Capture, a new technology integrating signature capture to its workflow suite of products.
 
PlanetPress Capture is the combination of two proven technologies: the first one being PlanetPress Suite, Objectif Lune's flagship solution; the second is Anoto Digital Pen and Paper technology.
 
Although the digital pen & paper technology has been around for many years, the innovation resides in what PlanetPress Capture allows in terms of production, automation and workflow and in the fact that users benefit from the well-known flexibility and ease of use of PlanetPress Suite.
 
As opposed to other solutions, PlanetPress Suite users can add the Anoto dot pattern in specific zones, where a signature is required. There is no need to print patterns on the entire page. Applying patterns to specific areas, documents can be printed at engine speed, eliminating delays and issues typically associated with this technology. Pattern zones can also be applied to existing business forms using the document design tool of the Suite.
 
Once a document is signed, the information is recorded in the pen. Once the pen is docked in its cradle, the information is sent to PlanetPress Suite which can then trigger any document output process; printing, email or fax distribution. A digital version of the document can also be indexed and archived in any electronic document management (EDM) system with no need for scanning or further manipulation, hence the document becomes readily available.
 
"Objectif Lune has been working on this technology for several months now", says Didier Gombert, CEO of the company. "We have always prided ourselves on developing solutions that would help organizations streamline their document flow and optimize their productivity. In the case of signature capture, we immediately saw the benefits. We wanted to create a technology that would really differentiate itself from what is currently available on the market. PlanetPress Capture really bridges the gap between signature capture and document output management."
 
Document handling often slows down processing, especially when you are dependent on a signature to initiate other actions, such as the creation of an invoice. With PlanetPress Capture and Anoto digital pens, you can automate a series of business processes, eliminating delays and improving productivity, right at point of signature.
