At its heart, our Agile-based methodology is centered on a close collaborative approach to maximizing value for our customers.

Zia’s Agile Solution Methodology
Mobile workforce enablement is an increasing trend for Zia’s enterprise customers. Zia’s Fresh Docs ECM application is available for iPhone, iPad and Android platforms. The newly released Fresh Xpense application is a simple expense and receipt capture tool for the iPhone that integrates with Xpenser.com.
The focus of technology should always be on people. Zia enables our customers to gain tremendous competitive advantage by allowing their team to collaborate more effectively, respond more quickly to changes, and make better decisions. Adopters of Enterprise 2.0 solutions will find they have a more productive, engaged and informed team.
An ECM is a cultivation of knowledge -- one of the most valuable assets to any organization. A proper ECM system ensures content has integrity through proper version control, allows producers to easily create content and publish it to a variety of mediums, and it automates processes, streamlining the review, approval and distribution of content across an organization. Zia's ECM offerings provide all of these benefits, and more, in a manner tailored to the client's business needs.

Who Should Use Fresh Capture?
• Departments that perform non-batch scanning (typically up to 10 or 20 documents at a time)
– For example: HR, Accounting, Public Works, and Clerk Departments
• Individuals looking to save on paper storage cost by moving to electronic doc storage
• Excellent as a quality control application to manage scan quality and metadata assignment.
– For example: If you scan your paper docs and assign metadata, you perform a Quality Control review prior to “releasing” to Alfresco.
• What it should not be used for:
– Zonal scanning solutions (pick a location on a scan document, scan and OCR
For example: It does not scan an invoice number from a document in a standard location.
– If you process large amounts (100 or 200) of the same types of documents, you will not want to use Fresh Capture
