The eCopy solution enables you to extend the capabilities of a digital
copier or scanner to be a bridge between paper and digital workflows,
seamlessly integrating with other critical business applications. With
eCopy, businesses can transform full-color or black & white paper
documents into electronic images that are easily shared and distributed
utilizing network and business applications.



And the technical writer employment test of the day is:

- Identify what the product does
- Identify the exact message
- Identify the unnecessary buzzwords (and suggest replacements)
- Rewrite the paragraph for clairty and conciseness

Personally, I cringe when I see "solution" and "utilizing."

The whole Help system I'm revising, reorganizing, and updating, hundreds of
topics, was written originally by a marketing person, much of it content
similar to this.
