All requests must be authorized by the MAIS Unit Liaison or an authorized signer for your unit. To learn who is authorized to sign access requests for your unit, enter your uniqname on the Unit Liaison/Alternate Signer Database.
Your ImageNow and WebNow Password
To access ImageNow and WebNow, you will enter your uniqname as your user name, while your ImageNow/WebNow password is your UMICH (Kerberos) password. If you don't have a UMICH password, it is easy to obtain. For assistance, contact the ITCS Accounts Office.
Getting Started With ImageNow
The ImageNow application enables you to scan printed documents and store them as electronic documents in a secure online environment. As an alternative, MAIS Document Imaging Services can scan your documents for you. After being scanned by you or by MAIS, the electronic version of these documents are available through WebNow, the viewing component of the U-M centralized imaging service.
If your unit is interested in document imaging services, complete the Request for Imaging Services Form. This form is a starting point for prospective users who want to obtain document imaging services and for current users who want to expand the scope of their imaging operations. It will help you define your imaging needs, and the information you provide will help MAIS develop an implementation plan and a schedule and cost estimate for the services you are requesting.
