Data Capture refers to the gathering and retaining of information for future use. Practically all businesses use data capture in some form. In its simplest form, it might mean recording accounting transactions in a ledger pad. In more complex environments, it might mean capturing new customer information from a web application and then pushing that information into a database system used to process orders through the warehouse.

Red Eagle Consulting works with clients to identify and implement technology that adds efficiency to their data capture processes. We have worked with clients accross many industries with differring needs and levels of expertise. Original data may be obtained from many different sources, including things such as paper communication, web interfaces, customer services interfaces, and barcodes.

Kofax Solutions
Key From Image	Presenting an image of a document on the screen for the data entry operator allows the operator to complete more documents in less time. With features such as zoom to zone, database lookup, and validation scripts, Ascent Capture is a robust tool for creating excellent key-from-image data capture solutions.
Fixed Forms	Zonal OCR is very effective for data capture from fixed forms where data is always presented in the same location on the document. Again, Ascent Capture is an excellent tool for fixed form solutions. By combining zonal OCR with other Ascent features such as database lookup and barcode reading, additional efficiency is brought to the zonal OCR solution.
Semi-Structured and Unstructured Documents	Semi-structured and unstructured documents provide information in an unpredictable format. Examples include a letter from a customer and an invoice from a vendor. Advanced Forms products from Kofax provide the tools to create strong solutions that use classification and rules-based capture technology to identify documents and find the required information.
Web-based Solutions
Web Page Input	Web-based interfaces allow for rapid deployment of solutions to internal users and can be used to easily capture data directly from your external customers. With our experienced development staff, Red Eagle customizes web interface solutions to meet unique requirements.
Web-based Document Management	Web access to document management systems allows secure access to your document management repository from the web. This allows you to capture and share documents and associated data that once would have been stored in dispersed locations or shipped in to a central location for scanning.
Barcode Solutions
3-D Barcodes	3-D barcodes can contain much more data than more traditional barcodes. Solutions that utilize 3-D barcodes can store data in the barcode as forms are created for later capture with a solution that reads the barcode.
Traditional Barcodes	There are several popular traditional bar codes that store limited information, such as an employee number or a tracking number. Solutions utilizing traditional barcodes add efficiency to your data capture in processes such as time tracking or association of documents back to existing records.
