## 1.4 IBM Content Navigator 

## 1.5 IBM Datacap 

IBM Content Navigator is a ready-to-use, standards-based user interface for content management solutions, including collaborative document management, production imaging, case management, and report management solutions. More importantly, IBM Content Navigator is a flexible and powerful user platform for building custom ECM applications by using open, web-based standards. 

IBM Content Navigator provides a unified interface for the following IBM ECM products and other products: 

GLYPH<SM590000> IBM Content Manager 

GLYPH<SM590000> IBM FileNet Content Manager 

GLYPH<SM590000> IBM Case Manager 

GLYPH<SM590000> IBM Content Manager OnDemand 

GLYPH<SM590000> IBM Enterprise Records 

GLYPH<SM590000> Third-party repositories through the open Content Management Interoperability Services (CMIS). 

For our ECM solution build, we use IBM Content Navigator as the primary user interface within a desktop browser, and through a mobile app. 

IBM Datacap extracts information from document images for use in ECM solutions and line-of-business applications. These document images can be created through scanning, mobile capture, or other means. IBM Datacap is the universal capture portal that captures, classifies, recognizes, validates, verifies, and exports data and document images quickly, accurately, and cost effectively. 

In our “paperless” world, many organizations are producing more paper documents, and they need to find a way to manage these papers efficiently and capture their data for usage. The management of paper can become costly, time-consuming, and a risk to the organization, because physical documents are often misplaced, misfiled, and damaged. 

Furthermore, the physical documents can contain information that must be entered manually into other line-of-business applications. For example, invoices into a customer relationship management (CRM) system, or claims in a case management solution. By implementing IBM Datacap, organizations reduce their paper management costs in several ways: 

GLYPH<SM590000> Users have immediate access to a digital copy of the document. 

GLYPH<SM590000> Multiple users can access the same document simultaneously.
