3 Background Information Enterprise-wide imaging solution needed due to:  Increasing need for document imaging across campus  Increasing number of departmental imaging systems  Opportunities to reduce costs by removing redundancies and taking advantage of economies of scale In June 2004 the University signed a contract with Perceptive Software Inc. for an enterprise-wide site license for the use of their imaging product called ImageNow and it’s Web-based companion, WebNow

4 Phased Implementation Completed Conversions  Moved existing departmental ImageNow system from the Office of Financial Aid (OFA) to Michigan Administrative Information Services (MAIS) and upgraded the hardware and software  Michigan Business Services began imaging the backlog of personnel files  Converted documents in the Highview Imaging System (Payroll, Benefits) Upcoming Conversions  Convert documents in the current (FileNET) imaging system (financial, accounts payable, and development documents) to ImageNow
