With workflows, a group of people can be working on appeals and forward them all to one queue.
I’ve been using the Web version the past year due to moving to a laptop as my primary computer. No one can seem to figure out how to print into WebNow, even though the Capture option is still there. I still plan to figure that out on my own. When a user has the Perceptive Software License on their computer, they are able to print PDF documents directly into ImageNow (File, Print, ImageNow is an option along with PDF, printer, etc.). From my understanding, ImageNow licenses are not compatible with laptop computers (at least not with the one that I have). Therefore, if I have a PDF on my screen, in order to get it into ImageNow, I have to either email it to someone with a license, who can print directly to ImageNow, or print it out and have someone at a scanning station, scan it in and then link it to a student’s record.

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There are costs for any upgrade or additional functions."

"It is cheaper compared to head-to-head competitors."
"The license for Alfresco is expensive - not the maximum, but close. There are also extra costs once you start building integrations, as implementation seems to be very costly."
