1 DATASHEET Make every document retrievable and searchable Improve access to businesscritical information Reduce non-compliance and non-discovery risk Increase efficiency with automated workflows Maximize the value of investment in DMS and search technology Integration with DMS Integration with MS Windows file systems THE RISKS ARE GREAT Access to information in the digital age is crucial. Businesses have invested heavily in Content Repositories such as Document Management Systems as well as in search technology to ensure they have instant access to business-critical documents. Despite this investment, 20% of documents in Content Repositories may be nonsearchable and therefore invisible to search technology. SOURCE OF NON-SEARCHABLE CONTENT Scanned images saved as TIFF or image PDF s with TIFF or image-based PDF attachments Electronic faxes saved as TIFF or PDF Legacy image, PDF or documents from business acquisitions or litigation file ingestion Failure to locate a business-critical document can undermine efficiency and productivity as well as put your organization s reputation and financial well-being at risk when it cannot comply with discovery requests. THE SOURCES ARE MANY Image-based files such as faxes, image PDFs and scanned documents often get profiled in the DMS, or saved to a MS Windows folder through a variety of workflow loopholes; attachments, legacy documents, mobile technology, documents ingested from acquisitions and imported litigation files. These documents are invisible to your search technology. RISKS OF NON-SEARCHABLE CONTENT Non-discovery of critical documents for a case, project, matter Failure to comply with Court orders to produce documents Productivity loss searching for missing documents Investment in DMS and search technologies not being maximized User confidence in the DMS system is lost when content is not found THE SOLUTION IS SIMPLE contentcrawler give document management professionals confidence that their content is 100% searchable. contentcrawler has uncovered a range of documents, including PDFs that had previously not been searchable within our DMS. The solution has greatly enhanced our ability to find documents quickly with the use of our DMS search functionality. Mark Turner: Lubbock Fine - Managing Partner We use contentcrawler to ensure that newly profiled and legacy PDFs are fully text-searchable. DocsCorp has worked closely with us and has been very responsive to our requests for program enhancements. Jeff Hutchinson: Mendes & Mount, LLP - Director of Information Technology RETRIEVABLE AND SEARCHABLE contentcrawler is a framework for searching Content Repositories such as Windows folders, an entire DMS database or a subset of documents based on specific queries. contentcrawler identifies non-searchable content, converts it to a text-searchable PDF using DocsCorp OCR technology and saves it back into the Content Repository. For Document Management Systems, documents identified as being image documents are saved as either New Versions, Attachments, New Renditions or Related Documents (depends on DMS). A text layer is added to the document to facilitate search.
