OVERLAND PARK, Kan., June 12 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Brooke Franchise Corporation, a subsidiary of Brooke Corporation (NASDAQ:BXXX), announced that it selected iRondo Imaging Station by Inlite Research, Inc. to process all faxed and scanned documents received at the company's processing center on the Phillipsburg, Kansas campus. The iRondo Imaging Station software repairs damaged or irregular document images and reads the barcode on document cover sheets so they are electronically filed for easy retrieval using the web-based Brooke Management System. "Finding an imaging solution like iRondo was important to us because our franchisees require consistent image quality in order to properly serve their customers," said Max Dibble, Brooke processing center's IT manager. "We must provide consistent quality even though we currently process up to 100,000 electronic images every business day." Franchisees typically fax a copy of all customer applications and other customer correspondence to Brooke's processing center with a fax cover sheet generated by the Brooke Management System. Faxes are received at the processing center from franchisees through a bank of 24 dedicated fax lines that are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Additionally, all correspondence from insurance companies is sent to the Phillipsburg campus, then sorted and scanned by the processing center. As a result, the processing center handles a large number of faxed images of customer correspondence and scanned images of company correspondence. The iRondo Imaging Station is part of an innovative and efficient paperless system that automatically processes and files all faxed and scanned images, without manual intervention, for retrieval by franchisees using the Brooke Management System. Gene Manheim, President of Inlite Research said, "We are very proud of our partnership with Brooke. This application is a great illustration of how our technology can have significant impact on relatively high volume imaging operations." About Inlite Research, Inc. ...
