• Image Optimization for the Distributed Enterprise
   • Prepares Images to Deliver Superior Accuracy: Cleaner images
     produce cleaner data. NovoImage+ removes background noise, refines
     character edges and automatically adjusts contrast to improve
     recognition.
   • Standardizes Quality: A device-agnostic solution, NovoImage+ can
     apply the same rigorous standards to images captured by a wide variety
     of peripherals.
   • Puts the User in Control: Rather than relying solely on device-specific
     presets, users can adjust default settings to optimize output for different
     image sources or document types.
   • Boosts Productivity: Improved images yielding greater accuracy
     accelerate workflow by alleviating the need for human intervention to
     correct errors, plus fewer false positives will result on data to be verified.
   • Reduces File Size: NovoImage+ can reduce document image file size
     for more rapid file transfer, more economical storage and more efficient
     archiving.
   • Automates Pre-Processing: Automated file and batch processing
     frees up workers for other tasks.

                                                                                      9

Faster, more accurate, easier — and global
   • No pre-sorting or pre-analysis of pages required
   • 60X faster than OCR-based solutions — only uses OCR for
     classification if document types are visually identical
   • Automatic image enhancement is built in for faster and more accurate
     document recognition and classification
   • Quick and easy to set up, learn and use — just point and click to train
     NovoDocufier to recognize document types — no need to define
     complex rules; no technical specialists needed
   • No need for multiple solutions to manage various languages —
     NovoDynamics’ industry-leading global OCR technology
     recognizes Middle Eastern, Asian, Cyrillic and Roman alphabets —
     we will embed languages upon request
