Options considered

Description |
|
| Set up to organize sub folders for big structure. (Doc types and catgories)
|
Data Sync (Student rosters?) | Can put a CSV on a network folder, and every day it can update Laserfiche (student ID, first, last, DoB.) | No data sync – student information gets created when first scanning. | CSV Data Syncs
|
Bulk Scanning | Goes into an incoming folder (holding pen). Can set up a blank barcode inbetween kids, or a fancy barcode that is tied to a kid already. Build a template, will automatically handle it going forward.
| Create a QR code to “seperate” between students. Can also have a blank placeholder if doing the big banker boxes type. Then can manually enter in information (to assign all of the items)
| Can just bulk scan into one folder “pre yellow folder” which is like a dumping ground without categorizing each student record. As you categorize items, you can set permissions so some can see student records but not SPED student records etc.
|
PDF Splitting | Can split up big PDFs based on student ID or page count. Can look up based on a CSV student ID, first /last name.
| Can do the big PDF splitting, even on split number of pages per kid. Build a template.
| Sent to yellow folder for splitting, but it has to be split by same page count. Needs to be split before uploading as it only reads the ID # of the first page. |
Hardware Costs | Software is hardware agnostic, but can recommend or give quotes for a high speed scanner. Could be an additional line item. | Included in the cost, if needing a bulk scanner (generally a Fijitsu, double sider on the fly, 100-500 feeders). | No hardware costs attached. Can use whatever scanning hardware we have (or could purchase out). |
Work Flow Processing? | Yes Can use templates or build. Can self build or call them for help $$.
| Yes has it, but is an additional cost (not included in the current costs plan) Does not use a license to then submit forms - just uses a liscense on the approval / denial / retrival of the form answers | No, just a replacement for banker boxes. |
Account Authorization/Authentication? | Can use AD, can use local laserfiche accounts. Can use MFA. | Google SSO |
|
Papercut Integration |
| Have the capability but not recommended basically. |
|
Scan a File from a Shared Folder / Print Directly (upload to?) | Use a shared folder. Can also have a virtual printer of “LaserFiche” with print driver | Uses a network share | Can create a virtual printer directly to Yellowfolder.
|
Licensing Model | Cost for Read/Write and create forms Cost for Read only users (cannot update any metadata for forms, but can submit forms / be apart of the approval on forms) Teachers would need a “read only” account (participant) for submitting forms such as field trip requests. Doesn’t recommend sharing accounts due to risks of no change log of who really changed something. | Concurrent licensing model. Can specify read only (concurrent) users Can specify read/write concurrent users | Based on active student enrollment per month. |
Pros and cons | Splitting PDFs seems doable. Pay by read write accounts and read only accounts | Concurrent licensing model can be cost effective compared to others Resonable Cost | Cloud only storage PS integration for students / Can “print” to yellow folder directly Unlimited admin user access (pay by active kids) Seemed simple to use
PDF splitting by page count and sending to yellowfolder Scan entire folder together into pre-yellow folder |
Estimated cost | Large | Medium $14k year 1 $10k a year going forward |
|
Training Plan | Set up the big project, such as back scanning. Configure the system. Implementation training and then 2 end user trainings per year. Training is local by Proven. | Scanning: Train the trainer Remote 2 hour training blocks, 6-8 hours all in | Unlimited Training, even year 2 etc. Virtual Training.
|
On Demand Video Training | Yes has a library on the support site | Has end user training videos once logged in. | (see above) - training plan |
Does it have HR Storage / permissions? | Yes | Yes | Yes, can set up permissions per folder. |
Finance Storage / permissions? | Yes | Yes | Yes, can set up permissions per folder. |
