Ascent Ricochet is a browser based capture utility that lets ordinary business users easily submit images and electronic documents to Ascent Capture workflows.

Everyone knows how to use a Web browser and an office copier. Now, Ascent Ricochet, the latest browser-based extension of Ascent Capture, enables any worker who deals with business critical information to employ these simple tools to initiate production document workflow for the important document packages they help create.

Empowers Content Experts
No one knows more about a document than the people who created it or who work closely with the information it contains. Thus, they are the best qualified to index it for later retrieval and processing. Ascent Ricochet empowers these content experts to initiate this workflow faster and more accurately than ever before.

As Simple as Surfing the Web. As Familiar as Using a Copier.
On the user side, Ascent Ricochet is a Java application that presents itself to the user through a familiar Web browser interface. Installation is a simple, one-time download. A desktop icon launches it.

Using it is just as easy. Simply walk your document to the nearest networked copier, select your name from the list in the copier display, place the document in the feeder and press a single button. When you return to your desk, launch Ascent Ricochet and it will display icons of the document pages you just scanned. Then select a document package type from the pull-down list and fill in the associated index fields that appear. Zoom the icons to confirm image quality, rotate them or select some or all for inclusion in your document package. Need to attach an e-doc -- say a spreadsheet -- to your package? No problem. Ascent Ricochet supports electronic attachments.

Click send and that's it. The user doesn't need to know anything about the terminology or procedures of production document capture. Instead, technology behind the scenes recognises the document type, automatically creates additional indexing information and releases the document to the proper workflow within the organisation. Within minutes, any authorised person may access or modify the document.
