Capture
Before you can store images in a SharePoint Document Library, you have to capture the image.  This includes high speed document scanning, desktop scanning and fax Capture.

Document Imaging
Microsoft SharePoint Document Imaging software from KnowledgeLake enables users to easily organize, store, and access all unstructured business documents (paper, faxes, e-mails, computer reports, etc.) and business critical information.   As a tightly integrated component within the SharePoint, it allows users to search for documents by any index values which are created and maintained with the SharePoint site template. Users can even configure the search results by document type, date or any other column.

Document Management
Document Management enables companies to control documents from their creation through to long-term archiving. Document management includes functions such as:

• Check in/Check out for checking stored information for consistency
• Version management to keep track of different versions of the same information with their revisions and renditions (same information in a different format)
• Search and navigation for finding information and its associated contexts
• Visualizing for showing information in structures like virtual files, folders, and overviews
