Consolidation of Key Components Yields Comprehensive, Streamlined Item Processing Solution

ImagePoint, Bluepoint’s image-based item processing solution, allows financial institutions to take full advantage of Check 21 legislation through sophisticated incoming and outgoing central image exchange. Due to the integration of several major components from Bluepoint’s existing product line with the highly advanced functionalities from the ImagePoint product, the release of ImagePoint version 3.5 yields a streamlined Item Processing solution with greater technological strength and functional depth. Significant features included in this comprehensive version release are:

• Sort Pattern Studio - virtually sorts items to destination endpoints using a sophisticated sort pattern utility. Provides the ability to execute simple RT-based routing up to complicated least cost routing, based on multiple factors. Eliminates the need for paper item processing and the large sorters required for this task.
• Workflow Manager - streamlines processing and automatic workflow management with new workflows, configurable to a financial institution’s environment. Simplifies the task of monitoring and managing the flow of information through the system.
• FedReturn & Receipt - sends mixed return image cash letters to the Federal Reserve by interfacing to FedReturn and accepting return image cash letters. Multiple file output formats now include the latest SOP 4.8 posting format, improving compatibility with most core processing systems.
• SmartClient support for Microsoft Windows - combines the reach of the Internet with the power of local computing hardware allowing financial institutions to operate in an SaaS environment. Smart clients may be deployed and updated in real time over the network from a centralized server.
• File Processing - improves image exchange file processing speed by over 50%. This feature also includes numerous item level enhancements such as TIFF tag validation and repair, missing image detection and MICR/OCR mismatch detection. A broad range of file and item level processing validation criteria may be enabled, allowing financial institutions to proactively monitor and correct image exchange files that may have been received with errors, ensuring proper file integrity for all exchange partners.

As the first Bluepoint release of ImagePoint since the company acquired the product’s creator, Avalon International, this version marks a milestone for the company and its customers by providing an integrated product line focused on innovation. ImagePoint version 3.5 maintains the flexibility and modularity of a comprehensive item processing solution, while advancing the technology it was built upon. The ImagePoint solution is a highly efficient and cost effective complement to Bluepoint’s RDC Check 21 capture solutions. Together they deliver a true, end-to-end, Check 21 image-based item capture and payment processing solution for small and large financial institutions.
