Digitech Systems and Contex have announced a collaboration for the secure information management of large format scanned assets. New and existing Digitech Systems and Contex customers can use PaperVision.com, along with the recently released PaperVision Folder Monitor, to add cybersecurity to scanned images as they are captured from a Contex large format scanner or drawn from an existing digital archive.

PaperVision Folder Monitor automatically sweeps files into the PaperVision.com cloud content management service. This automated service instantly applies cybersecurity and information access settings, enabling companies to streamline and simplify data security, process automation and more.

For a limited time, customers who purchase a Contex HD Ultra X or IQ Quattro X large format scanner can receive a free license of Nextimage scanning software and two months access to the PaperVision.com Professional service, both free of charge. The introductory offer — a savings of more than $800 — runs from June 1 to Aug. 31, 2022.

"As more companies incorporate stricter IT security protocols for their scanned assets, the collaboration between Digitech Systems and Contex makes it easy for new and existing customers to implement a secure management solution into their scanning workflow," said Steve Blanken, general manager, Contex,

"Today's hybrid work is built on a cloud foundation and it's critical that businesses keep information secure when it is accessed remotely," said HK Bain, CEO, Digitech Systems. "With Contex scanners and PaperVision.com, information becomes securely accessible from any location, and data security is as simple as scan and save."

For collaborating in house, from remote locations or for working from home, companies can use PaperVision.com, along with Folder Monitor and a Contex large format scanner with Nextimage scanning software, for the secure information management of high-quality large format scanned assets. The combined solution makes it easy to secure and manage scanned documents. The intelligent service uses metadata — created from a variety of options including the file name, other file properties and even the folder structure where the document originated — to immediately protect the scanned records according to a company's established access rules and IT security protocols.

For the introductory offer, customers can choose between the Contex HD Ultra X or the IQ Quattro X large format scanners. The HD Ultra X is the market's most efficient and flexible large format scanner for technical experts, graphical professionals, archivists, reprographic shops and more. The powerhouse large format scanner captures every detail of maps, drawings, posters, newspapers or fine art at a record speed of 17.8 images per second (ips). The HD Ultra X is the latest generation in Contex's long history of CCD-based scanners and comes in 36-, 42- and 60-inch widths.

The IQ Quattro X is the fifth generation of Contex CIS scanners and is the essence of productivity. The scanner series focuses on high-quality results for everyday scanning projects and provides sharp, clear images on the most detailed documents. The IQ Quattro X, available in 36- and 44-inch widths, is recommended for high-quality scans or copies of large GIS maps, site plans, engineering drawings, blueprints, architectural renderings and many other technical documents.
