OCR, the DNA of ECM

There was a time when paper was the final destination of information. At best, paper was scanned as an image, which means that a picture of the original document was stored somewhere, often locally, with as sole identifier a file name imagined by someone with their own views on archiving. Optical Character Recognition revolutionized the way we think about paper. What if that precious text could be retrieved?

For years, I.R.I.S. has pursued that objective by pioneering the way in text recognition technologies. Today its contemporary OCR techniques allow for documents of all origin to be retrieved in formats like PDF, RTF, Word, Excel® and many more, ready to be searched, edited, archived, retrieved, and shared through modern channels such as mobile devices and the Cloud.

Today OCR remains the recurring theme throughout an I.R.I.S. portfolio so diverse that anyone can enjoy the benefits of modern document management, from the private user who wants to avoid boring sessions of retyping, to the largest corporations that realized how the core of efficient, fast and top-of-the-range Electronic Content Management.
