Software Solutions Improve document security Seamless software integration Therefore not only stores your documents securely, but it also gives you complete control over document access. Permission settings are easy to configure and highly customizable, helping to ensure that only authorized persons are given access to view and/or modify specific documents. Permission settings can be applied on multiple levels, starting at the document level, ranging to entire categories of documents or anywhere in between. It’s also possible to determine who has accessed a specific document, and administrators can track all documents accessed by a particular user. Security and accountability are further enhanced with its version control features, and every document is automatically assigned a digital signature. In addition, retention policies can be designed, allowing documents to be destroyed after a predetermined time, thereby strengthening your compliance strategy. ThereforeTM is designed to integrate and complement many of the software applications your organization currently uses. It can integrate with your company’s existing ERM or CRP system, including Microsoft SharePoint® and SAP NetWeaver®. Microsoft Office integration comes standard, and the optional ThereforeTM Universal Connector allows integration with many other Windows® applications. Scanning integration is also possible by using either a Canon imageRUNNER ADVANCE MFP to scan, index, and save documents directly from the device’s display, or a Canon DR Scanner for high-speed batch scanning. You can also integrate other third-party scanning solutions. Additionally, ThereforeTM seamlessly integrates with the most popular e-mail clients, including Microsoft Outlook® and IBM Lotus Notes, as well as Microsoft Exchange Server, to help satisfy your e-mail archiving and compliance needs.

Workflow Solutions Therefore Workflow TM Every organization has business-critical processes that are usually divided into individual tasks, distributed, and dependent on the timely performance of numerous colleagues. While the number of steps and employees involved can differ from one process to the next, the thing that remains constant is that if one link in that chain breaks, the whole process is affected. The key to keeping business-critical processes flowing smoothly lies in smart design, transparency, and accountability—enter ThereforeTM Workflow. Take a specific document, such as an employee’s expense report, for example. That document must pass through the appropriate internal channels before being rejected or approved. If even one person in the chain fails to take action, the whole process comes to a standstill and productivity suffers. Apply that same scenario to an even more critical business process and that standstill can have a much greater impact on your organization. Available with ThereforeTM Essentials Edition, Enterprise Edition, and ThereforeTM Online, Workflow gives you the ability to design and optimize your specific business processes, thus helping to eliminate inefficiencies and increase productivity. Each employee knows which task needs be to completed, the date it’s due, and who’s next in the process. Managers can monitor the progression of the workflow process, while administrators can keep a bird’seye view of the entire system to help prevent bottlenecks from occurring, thereby helping to ensure that work flows smoothly. Utilizing the ThereforeTM Solution Designer, you can digitally design your existing paper-based business processes, transforming them into electronic-based, fully transparent workflows. Documents and approvals are electronically routed to each individual involved in the process; the result is increased accuracy, transparency, and efficiency of your business processes. ThereforeTM Workflow Approval Typical Expense Report Workflow Supervisor requests specific documents associated with the expense report, such as receipts. Employee sends receipts to supervisor. If approved by Accounts Payable, the report is routed to the appropriate person to reimburse the employee for expenses. Employee is automatically notified via e-mail, thus completing the workflow. If supervisor approves the expense report, it’s then routed to the Accounts Payable department for review. Request documents Expense approved Expense approved/paid Accounts payable End Expense rejected Expense rejected Workflow begins when an employee submits an expense report. Start The electronic expense report is then routed to a supervisor for review. Review expense report (supervisor) If the expense report is rejected by the supervisor, it’s then sent directly to the appropriate person within Accounts Payable for immediate rejection. If approved by supervisor but then rejected by Accounts Payable, the report is sent to the appropriate person to process the rejection. 6 The employee is automatically notified via e-mail, thus completing the workflow.

Software Solutions ThereforeTM Online Cloud-based solution by subscription A highly attractive option for many businesses, ThereforeTM Online provides all the same robust functionality of the ThereforeTM Enterprise Edition, including the powerful Workflow capabilities. The key difference is where it’s hosted—in the cloud. Ideal for organizations that would rather not invest in their own IT infrastructure nor endure the perpetual costs of managing and maintaining one, ThereforeTM provides a convenient and affordable monthly or yearly subscriptionbased solution with ThereforeTM Online. Your organization’s documents can now be captured, indexed, searched, and stored anywhere with an Internet connection, allowing users to access their documents from virtually anywhere. The only difference between using ThereforeTM Online and the standard version is the location of your data. Instead of storing all information on your local network, your data is remotely stored and backed-up in the cloud by a hosting data center. Note: ThereforeTM Online will be made available to the market at a future date. 9
Behind the Name The name Therefore was chosen due to the word’s meaning and use in grammar and mathematics. The word, “therefore,” in grammatical terms, connects an instance or action and that action’s logical consequence. For example: “Our company needs to improve its methods of managing information; therefore, we consulted Canon for a solution.” In mathematics, the term, “therefore,” is used in a similar way by connecting a preceding equation with its implied result, using the mathematical symbol for “therefore,” represented by three dots in triangular form: For example: X+1=6 X=5 The developers of Therefore also liked that the word, “therefore,” and its symbol have universal recognition and so provided the opportunity to graphically illustrate this in the company’s logo. 1-800-OK-CANON www.usa.canon.com CANON and IMAGERUNNER are registered trademarks of Canon Inc. in the United States and may also be registered trademarks or trademarks in other countries.
