September, 2009 Ann Arbor, MI:  Freedom Imaging Systems (Freedom), a leading content and document management and solutions provider, is pleased to announce Optimum Plus Home Care, LLC. of Taylor, Michigan has selected and installed Freedom’s RICAR SMB suite for its document management solution. 

RICAR SMB (Record Image Capture and Retrieval for Small and Medium Businesses) is a specially designed turnkey document management software suite for small to medium sized businesses desiring an imaging/document management solution at a reduced cost.  Freedom completed its development and began marketing it in May of 2008.

The RICAR SMB is available in three industry specific solutions for medical, laboratory and business offices. Each solution includes six specific and predefined virtual file cabinets (VFC) for each industry. Optimum Plus purchased the medical solution that includes document management solutions for: Patient Medical Records, Explanation of Benefits, Accounts Receivables, Accounts Payables, Human Resources, Administrative and Miscellaneous.

Working with Kevin Miller, Optimum Plus’ Operations Manager, Freedom installed the RICAR SMB software package in September, 2009.  Optimum Plus is initially using Freedom’s RICAR SMB solution to capture and manage documents and images for archiving and retrieving patient medical records. Future implementations include payable/receivable and human resources and the other VFCs.

Optimum Plus is utilizing RICAR SMB’s feature that allows the organization to capture and index documents with a Bowe Bell and Howell Truper 3600 scanner. Freedom’s RICAR SMB will work with any network attached scanner, digital fax server or imported electronic files allowing businesses to reduce entry costs associated with utilizing a document management solution.

Freedom’s RICAR SMB suite is comprised of such products as:

• FreeScan software for capturing documents via scanner.
• FreeImport software for importing any non-scanned file types into the management system such as Word/PDF documents, Faxes, WMV and MP3 files.
