White Paper: The Value of ISIS to Hardware and Software Vendors: Raising the Competitive Advantage of the ISIS Standard - Technology Concepts and Business Considerations

The reliable interoperability provided by industry-standard interfaces helps software and hardware vendors drive sales, enhance the total customer experience, and reduce development costs. This white paper provides a brief overview of the Image and Scanner Interface Specification (ISIS) and of how document capture and imaging vendors can leverage the industry standard to bring more competitive applications and products quickly to market. The basis for the public domain standard ANSI/AIIM MS61-1996 Application Programming Interface (API) for Scanners in Document Imaging Systems and issued as ISO 14984, the ISIS interface is a modular and extensible interface for the acquisition, viewing, data format conversion, printing, and storage of document files and images.
