PARASCRIPT: Does your organization have handwritten documents or unstructured forms that traditional OCR cannot process? In today’s increasingly complex business environment, more companies, government agencies and other organizations process higher volume of forms and documents with increased levels of complexity. The ultimate goal is to streamline document processing and move critical business information into business processes quicker and with greater accuracy.

OCR – Optical Character Recognition software converts printed characters or machine text into digital files and has been in use since the 1960s. ICR – Intelligent Character Recognition (ICR) is a step above OCR. Standard ICR is best known as having the ability to read constrained handprint – printed characters in a form, box or other document limitations. What is not widely known is that ICR systems have evolved to read unconstrained handprint (constrained fields are no longer necessary), and any other type of handwriting. Attempts have been made to redefine this type of technology, but practically speaking people generally refer to all handwriting recognition as ICR. Parascript is an established innovator in the OCR/ICR industry, and their Intelligent Document Processing technologies can extract data from any document image. Through a simple interface, businesses and government agencies can achieve a high level of straight-through-processing and dramatically reduce the need for manual data entry in existing document-based processes.

 

restorVault: With the cost of data storage soaring, compliance mandates looming and ransomware attacks rising exponentially, restorVault offers a solution that can address all three. Not only does restorVault provide superior protection, ultra-fast recovery and on-demand access–but it can reduce your on-premise and cloud storage costs up to 80%. That’s not all though, a variety of industries are turning to restorVault to address the following concerns:

• Trusted System Compliant: Any state agency in CA that destroys paper documents and records is required by law to have a Trusted System. If this has been at the top of your list of needs, this is just one of the benefits you can realize by implementing a solution like restorVault.
• Reducing Storage Costs: According to the IDC, more than 80% of data on primary and cloud storage is unstructured and 60% is copy data. Paying to store multiple copies of inactive data in the cloud is a completely unnecessary waste of money. restorVault can help lower your on-premise and cloud capacity needs by up to 80%.
• Impervious to Ransomware: Since object storage doesn’t have a file system to attack, restorVault’s Compliant Cloud Archive (CCA) and Secure Cloud Backup (SCB) data retention methods safeguard your unstructured data from the ever-evolving landscape of ransomware attacks.
• Data Integrity Assured: It’s not just ransomware protection, restorVault’s CCA and SCB provide long-term retention and WORM storage that cannot be altered in any way.
