MOSS: Document Imaging and Capturing Solution
If you are looking for a document capturing solution with SharePoint, check KnowledgeLake. Normally following are the phases involved in bulk document capturing:
1) Batch Preparation [Human Process]
2) Scanning [Human + Computer Process]
3) Metadata Entry [Human + Computer Process]
4) Metadata Verification [Human + Computer Process]
5) Putting the documents back as they were before batch preparation [Human Process]
These phases are mostly done in a distributed environment. Where set of people handle only one activity, just like a factory environment. The solution must have the capability of handling distributed processes.
