The Latest in Office Technology

Business card scanners are the next best thing to sliced bread for the travelling business person. You just arent anybody today if you dont have a business card. Everywhere you go, there are cards for doctors, lawyers, plumbers, hairdressers, massage therapists. You arent in business unless you have a card that you can hand out to potential clients. And never mind trade shows. Everyone hands out business cards at those events. You could end up with a briefcase full of the things.
After a while, you accumulate quite a few cards and run out of space to store them. Now what. Get a business card scanner, thats what. A small, handheld business card scanner will capture the data and images off a business card by scanning and digitalizing and transmitting the information over a USB cable into the contacts organizer on your laptop or PC. No external power source is necessary. And no more briefcases or drawers cluttered with loose cards. All the scanned data will be at your fingertips and able to be shared with your team members right away. Marketing and networking efforts are streamlined, and your boss will be pleased with the low cost. Business card scanners can be shared, so no need to purchase one for each employee. Their small size and portability make them ideal for business trips.
Innovative Optical Character Recognition technology allows business card scanners to capture the data from business cards and download it to your computer. This capture is not limited to business cards, either. If yours is the type of business that requires personal information from its clients, you can scan drivers licenses, medical insurance cards and passports and other forms of personal identification from your business card scanner into your system in a matter of seconds. A little business card scanner can make a big contribution towards achieving a paperless office environment.
Business card scanners have a few side features as well. Some scanners allow you to print mailing labels from your contacts manager once the data has been scanned into your system. If your scanner comes with the appropriate software, you have the capability. Some systems also feature a data backup system that protects your valuable contact information data from damage. Another attractive feature allows you to synchronize the data in your business card scanner with your personal data assistant and mobile phone devices in addition to your computer network. What a fabulous innovation.
