Abstract

This IDC study assesses the market for document scanners among the most prominent global vendors and identifies their strengths and challenges. This assessment discusses both quantitative and qualitative characteristics that position vendors for success in this important market. This IDC study is based on a comprehensive framework to evaluate document scanners delivered within the context of an engagement.

"Essential document functionality, supported by additive software and solutions, should focus buyers on the precise tool for the job. Further consideration should be placed on scanner performance, reliability, and versatility," says Anne Valaitis, research manager, IDC's Imaging, Printing, and Document Solutions group.
