Why waste your precious time looking for documents?
Don't take our word, Independent experts confirm it. Office-workers spend between 30 and 40% of their time doing non-productive document related tasks (Gartner Group survey); 80% of managers and directors of SMEs spend at least an hour each day looking for documents (YouGov survey); Managers spend up to 25% of their time searching for information (Accenture survey). How can we help?

DocuStor Cloud Storage
Get to your documents from anywhere in the world that you happen to be working, and at the same time be secure in the knowledge that no-one else can, unless they have been authorised to access them. DocuStor offers a user-friendly interface to upload and index documents for later retrieval, either scanned in-house, outsourced to our bureau, or a mixture of both – you are in the driving seat. Search by metadata (document title) – up to six headings – or content within document (requires optical charater recognition - OCR).
Automated Document Processing
There is a trade-off between the cost of up-front effort put into creating multiple indexes for ease of retrieval and the cost of the time saved. There is no point in expending 100 person-hours per month creating searchable metadata, if low frequency of retrieval results in a saving of just one person-hour. Automate the process of capturing data from documents, then the whole cost-benefit equation is shifted. We have developed high-productivity solutions using a number of techniques including:
-
OMR (Optical Mark Recognition)
-
Zone OCR
-
Dynamic OCR
-
Full-page OCR
-
Bar-code reading
-
Open database integration
Using the powerful RegEx (regular expression) syntax, we can, in many cases bring order to disorder and automatically extract data which is not always in the same place.
