Digital document archiving
Optimize your business processes with digitally archived documents.
Over time important business documents, such as letters, contracts or project documentation, can reach significant volumes and take up precious and expensive storage space. Moreover manually searching for relevant data can consume untold amount of employees’ time. ABBYY Solution helps organizations to save on facility costs, reduce working hours and significantly speed up business processes by converting business documents into digital records that can be electronically archived, efficiently managed and easily accessed.
ABBYY solution automatically converts all correspondence, printed files, emails, office documents or fax letters and turning them into digital documents, such as MRC-compressed, searchable and indexed PDFs or PDF/A-files. Suitable for long-term archiving the files are small in size with high visual quality. They are easily readable on different electronic devices, easily accessible from remote locations and can be centrally archived in digital libraries, electronic archives or in Document Management Systems. This quick, “anywhere” access to digitally stored business documents (with defined access rights) can significantly speed up internal processes and increase the efficiency of any company.
Benefits of using digitized documents
Efficient document management
Digitised and indexed documents can be exported to a Document Management System and automatically stored in the relevant digital libraries, where their usage is tracked, documented and managed.
Easy re-use of printed text
Originally printed content can be edited and re-used in Microsoft® Word or Excel® when it is turned into editable text. Conversion of paper documents into editable formats saves work spent on re-typing and re-creating documents.
Finding the right document – quickly and easily
Documents containing suitable keywords in the text or appropriate information in the meta data can be detected by electronic search systems and displayed within seconds. There is no tiring manual search for relevant information through each individual page.
Access to documents – at any time from any place
Digital documents can be electronically retrieved from a central repository at any time and quickly distributed by e-mail, replacing physical copying or time-consuming forwarding of printed copies.
