The Perfect Solution for Vertical Markets
"The Strobe XP 300 is designed to provide a low cost duplex scanning solution for vertical markets such as healthcare, banking, insurance, legal and retail," said Murray L. Dennis, president & CEO of Visioneer. "It instantly turns paper documents into distributable digital files."

• Healthcare -- By scanning patient documents, insurance cards and driver's license at patient registration and creating a digital image accessible to the patient's authorized care providers, hospitals can reduce registration time, solve data inaccuracy problems and improve customer relationships.
• Banking -- The Check Clearing for the 21st Century Act (Check 21) allows banks to replace original paper checks with "substitute checks" that are scanned digital copies of the originals. The Act reduces the time, risks and costs associated with paper check processing and accelerates cash flow for retail merchants.
• Insurance/Legal -- From Sarbanes-Oxley to the PATRIOT act, records management has become an important part of doing business. A document scanner is therefore essential to first digitize paper records into electronic files that can be securely and accurately stored, transmitted and retrieved.
• Traveling Professionals -- Road warriors looking to maximize productivity can quickly capture the day's contracts, business cards, briefing papers, and expense receipts.
