contentCrawler is an integrated analysis, processing and reporting framework that intelligently assesses documents in a DMS for bulk processing. Users can bulk process documents in the DMS using either the OCR or Compression modules. Or, they can do both. For example, contentCrawler will convert all image-based documents in the DMS to text-searchable PDFs. The Compression module will then apply compression and downsampling to all PDFs, reducing them in file size. The automated end-to-end process can run 24/7 without any staff intervention, emailing periodic notifications of processing statistics and error reporting to the IT Administrator. Staff no longer have to worry about OCR or compression as a process or workflow.
