The Smart Document Capture System Athento Lands in Argentina with Lakaut SA

Yerbabuena Software, the maker of Athento and the Argentinian document management leader Lakaut SA announced the signing of a commercial partnership that will enable the distribution of innovative Intelligent Document Capture and Document Management Software in Argentina.

Lakaut SA becomes the first official distributor of Spanish software company in Argentina, adding to an extensive global partner network. The goal pursued by the agreement is to be closer to Argentine companies that require Document Capture Software and ECM software in general, so customers now have the direct attention of sales representatives in the South American country and also enjoy a backup technical team in their own country.

For Jose Luis de la Rosa, CEO of the Athento product manufacturer - "Although we already have our headquarters in America located in Silicon Valley, our partners are the way we maintain a close relationship with our customers," -. Athento already has customers in other countries in the region such as Colombia, Mexico, Peru and Chile, but - "The market in Argentina is fairly large and it requires a close collaborator to meet your needs, and Lakaut is a company with the experience and leadership required to bring Athento's intelligent document capture to this market"- says de la Rosa.

For Guillermo Cantini, President of Lakaut "Adding to our portfolio of services an innovative software such as Athento provides high value to our customers as we incorporate the digitization of documents, tools to label, classify or assign people and processes to documents intelligently and using semantic technology, achieving time efficiency in search and, at the same time, in each work circuit".

Yerbabuena Software is a company located in San Jose, the heart of Silicon Valley, formed by a wide range of ECM software experts and has carried out an intensive process of expansion since 2010. It currently has offices in Spain and Silicon Valley (California), plus important partnership agreements in different countries. The flag product Athento is responsible for managing business documents in world leaders such as BNP Paribas, the DGT of Spain, BBVA or Leroy Merlin.

Argentina's Lakaut is a document management service company focused on paper digitization, custody and technology services related to document management. It was the first company in this country to be certified as Service Company for Archive and Scanning (PSAD) by the AFIP, the actual IRS of Argentina. With a solid set of over 1,800 customers, Lakaut also has the support of having among its clients major multinationals such as IBM Argentina, Argentina Renault, Toyota Argentina or Procter & Gamble, among others.

¿Qué es Output Management?

Desde nuestro blog corporativo de gestión documental encuentro este post sobre qué es Output Management.
Si el ECM tiene distintas fases, el Output Management está centrado en la fase de deliver (entrega o distribución) y en la fase de compartir en que se encuentran las tecnologías en la empresa (trabajo colaborativo, web 2.0). El post de Verónica Meza me ha encantado, por su sencillez (es directo) y cantidad de información.
Quizás es la fase a la que menos se dedique nuestra empresa, pero no por ello la menos importante. Nosotros estamos inmersos en la captura y la gestión documental, pero al final acabamos entrando en todas las fases del software ECM, sobre todo en los proyectos más grandes como en DGT, BBVA o en otras grandes cuentas.

Document Management and Interoperability in Spain's DMV

We have recently published a public note on a big project in which Athento is at the core, and Yerbabuena is working with tech consulting firm Tecnocom (one of Spain's 5 largest).

The project has to do with managing over 150 million documents, integrating with the DMV's vertical portals and interoperating using different standards such as CMIS, Web Services etc.
At the bottom, a great Open Source ECM tool based on Java, Nuxeo.

The diagram explains the architecture wonderfully:

Document management in California

I arrived Friday @ 3AM, after a 27 hour trip to Tulare, California.
It went like this:
Málaga -> Madrid -> Philadelphia -> LA (all by plane) and from LA to Tulare by car.

On my arrival to US soil, the Philadelphia airport, I had to take this picture:

If you can tell from the pic, i'm covering the Oracle logo with a Yerbabuena Software business card ;-P

Everything looking good over here, i'm using the wireless at a Starbucks coffee. Big cars, big places.. hot weather.. California.

Monday I'll be heading to LA: meeting with the Spanish Embassy @ LA, will try to learn if they can help us doing business in Cali.
My family is great, they're all happy to see us.

Semantic web technologies on Nuxeo ECM

I was in a meeting today with the core Developers of our side in the Nuxeo 2010 project. For those of you that don't know, we are doing an R&D project with the Nuxeo company, funded by the EU.
The project is called Nuxeo 2010, should end at summer next year and we are working on semantic web and on the ubiquity of content (a rich client application to access Nuxeo from web devices, such as HTC or Nokia N97 mobile phones).

In the meeting of this evening, the guys presented us NTI (Nuxeo Thinks Itself), wich is the foundings of a real killer application that will let Nuxeo THINK.

Why would you want an ECM to think?

Well, to automate work and let it think for yourself or the people in your company.
For example, I want paper documents, like bills or receipts to be scanned (with a hardware device) and then automatically classified on a given folder, without someone doing this boring work.
Or I can drag & drop a document to Nuxeo, and the ECM will tell me: This document is usually used under "Workflow X" wich involves "Department Y" and "Client Z". Do you want to start the workflow? ( Y/N ).
Right now what we have is an ontology, and ways to relate documents between themselves through sets of rules determined by the organization using the system.

Take a look at the post, here at our blog:
http://blog.yerbabuena.es/2009/07/semantic-for-nuxeo-nti-demo.html
To read it in English, just use the Google Translate box at the center left of the page.

I'm leaving in some hours to visit California during August and the first week of September. It would be neat to present this applications that we have in progress to ECM consultants in sunny California...

We will be in Documadrid

We will be giving the first conference in the event Documadrid 09, the 21st of October in Madrid, in the "Meliá Galgos" Hotel.
Español: Documadrid 2009

This event will attract the most important companies related to document management in Spain, and customers etc.. with the interest in the latest technologies and products.
We are going to focus on Nuxeo, the applications that Yerbabuena is developing on top of it and in general about the innovation that Open Source is providing in the ECM and Document Management fields.

The organization, which also publishes the succesful "Revista de Gestión Documental" also cited recently our implementation of Nuxeo in one of the largest international education institutions in Spain, La Salle (over 600 centers, including top Universities).

We make a plugin that integrates Nuxeo and Thunderbird

Perhaps Thunderbird is your favourite software to handle emails. For sure Nuxeo is your favourite application to handle content, documents etc.
Both of them are open source, standards compliant, nice to work with... and now they are both integrated!
We just released a Beta plugin for Thunderbird that lets you save files into Nuxeo from Thunderbird, just by right-clicking on the attachment and selecting the workspace of Nuxeo where you want your document to be sent.

The video is in spanish, but it's pretty straight forward.

Please take a look!!
