Kodak's Newest, Fastest Production-Level Scanner Deemed Best in Category
ROCHESTER, N.Y., March 28, 2007- For the third consecutive year, Eastman
Kodak Company's Document Imaging business captured honors at FOSE 2007, the
government's largest gathering of information technology professionals. The
KODAK i1860 Scanner, the newest member of Kodak's market-leading production
portfolio, garnered a GCN Best of FOSE award in the scanner category.
The FOSE awards program recognizes the most innovative and
well-designed new products used in government IT..
"The federal government spends more than $75 billion annually on
information technology, so industry pays close attention. This made choosing
this year's Best of FOSE products very difficult," said Wyatt Kash, editor
in chief of GCN. "The editors looked for product innovation particularly
suited to the public sector, and we were not disappointed. Participating
companies showcased new ways for government to operate more efficiently,
safeguard our country, and move our national agenda forward".
All about maximizing productivity, the KODAK i1860 Scanner is
the fastest production scanner offered by Kodak. Capturing images at up to
200 pages per minute, it offers a variety of ergonomic features including a
user height-adjustable base to maximize productivity while either sitting or
standing. An intuitive color touch-screen display simplifies on-the-fly
performance by putting a variety of controls at the operator's fingertips
and the scanner has the capability of pre-scan or post-scan printing.
"The speed and the exceptional ergonomic capabilities of the
KODAK i1860 Scanner-including compliance with Section 508 for accessibility
under the Americans with Disabilities Act-and capabilities of KODAK Capture
Software, Version 6.10 were key to the judges' selection," said Don McMahan,
Vice President Sales, US & Canada Region, Document Imaging, Graphic
Communications Group. "These key features, and unparalleled KODAK Service
and Support, enable government agencies to provide better service and
quicker turnaround for information requests in facing the enormous volumes
of paper agencies deal with daily. We are delighted with the award and
appreciate the ongoing support FOSE provides to federal government
agencies.".
The judges also cited the KODAK i1860 Scanner's Energy Star
compliance and the scanner's "sleek design" in its selection..
Award winners were chosen by GCN Lab staff and the technology
editors of GCN and Washington Technology for outstanding technology
advancement and innovation. More than 100 high tech companies submitted new
products in the competition. Sixteen companies received honors for 17
products from across a wide range of technology categories..
The KODAK i1860 Scanner became available through the company's
