Where Find Scan/Document Management Info?
Wondered if there’s a group somewhere that discusses systems for document management aka document imaging, image capture, scannning, etc. (MS groups are sparse on this topic, except brief mention here or there). Need a neutral group, not a software or scanner-hardware group, and not white papers–there are lots of these “how to” but no place to ask questions and discuss latest things like what’s the best software, and where can I get a high speed, reasonably priced scanner.

Would seem this is simple, but turns out there are many issues, standards, decisions…and prices are all over the board for things like scanners ($99 to $20,000) and software ($99 to $millions).
