Nuance’s PaperPort 14 continues to provide scanning and document management capabilities on the desktop and enterprise computing environment, but now includes the ability to connect to cloud services like Microsoft Live SkyDrive or Box.net. The company has even produced its own cloud service, called PaperPort Anywhere, and integrated it into this new release. At first glance, it may seem like a gimmicky attempt to jump on a trend, but at least come of this capability is a useful extension of the PaperPort software package.

Nuance claims that 71 percent of its customers use cloud storage of some kind, and 43 percent use more than one such service. As a system for managing scanned documents and converting documents to different formats, PaperPort 14 works with cloud services in order to manage files wherever users will put them. “Everyone is moving to the cloud, but we’re not doing cloud storage for the sake of joining in,” says Bill Taylor, director of engineering for Nuance’s Document Imaging Division. “Now people have documents all over the web, and we want to be right there with them.”
