Will the Xerox AltaLink C8100 series work?
Yes. Going by Xerox's own pages, it can capture today with eSCL (AirScan), a network connection, scan to email, scan to cloud and a TWAIN driver.
Xerox's color A3 copier family (C8130 to C8170, 30 to 70 pages per minute); the C8155 is an example model.
Easiest path to one place
Scan over your network, no driver
This model speaks eSCL (AirScan), so a computer, phone or service on the same network can pull pages straight from it. Nothing to install on each desk.
How it can capture
eSCL / AirScan
YesDriverless network scanning. Apple calls it AirScan, part of AirPrint, and Mopria Scan uses it too. Nothing to install on the computer.
Yes. Supports mobile scanning with Mopria Scan and Apple AirPrint.[1]
TWAIN Direct
Check with usThe newer, driverless TWAIN. Apps reach the scanner over the network with nothing to install.

Network or Wi-Fi
YesConnects to your network on its own, so it does not have to stay plugged into one computer.

Scan to email
YesPress a button on the device and the pages arrive in an inbox.
Yes. Scan to email is built in.[1]
Scan to cloud
YesThe device, or the maker's own software or service, sends pages to cloud storage.

TWAIN driver (classic)
