Image compression software developer Accusoft has launched Cloud Scan, an online service to scan documents directly to cloud storage services.
Cloud Scan is designed for users to digitize paper documents and archive them in cloud storage for free. Scanner and printer manufacturers also can access Cloud Scan's technology to create custom scan and storage services for their customers.
Cloud Scan uses technology from storage firm EMC and derives its functionality from the application of Acusoft's ImageGear SDK (software development kit) and EMC's Captiva Cloud toolkit.
