Description

Columbia Basin College (CBC) has used WinImage/WinCOLD since August of 1997 to scan documents and import files that were previously printed on line printers attached to the HP 3000. Before WinCOLD was installed, the Business office printed daily reports of up to 200 pages and monthly reports of up to 1500 pages. With WinCOLD, those reports are now transferred electronically and indexed automatically by the system. Not only does this save paper, but it also eliminates many hours of work. Previously, extracting information from these reports meant that employees had to physically thumb through the reports to find specific information. Now this is accomplished by searching an index and retrieving the information in a matter of seconds. The employee can print just the pages that are needed. Human Resources use the same method for tracking all payroll records. In addition, HR uses the imaging features of WinImage to scan old payroll records. Whether accessing scanned images or retrieving downloaded reports, the same user is used. "At Columbia Basin College, we've saved both time and money with WinImage for Windows," reports Bill Saraceno, Vice President of Administration for Columbia Basin College. "It has proven to be a very dependable way to archive older records and has not only provided the college fiscal savings, it saves us precious space as well. We're enthusiastic about this system and the benefits it provides." The purchasing department of CBC scans all documents used in the Bid/Quote process. These images are indexed and stored in electronic format so that the next time the purchasing department needs to the same items, they can look at the prior process and save the time it takes to research that same information again. The financial aid office has been scanning documents related to student applications for financial aid. This eliminates searching through boxes of documents that are stored in a basement storage area.
