As many organisations have started to convert their hardcopy technical document archives into electronic form, it became apparent that the operational bottlenecks were not at the point of scan but rather in the process of quality controlling and naming the scanned information. 

To process a “typical” scanned file to a fully cleaned and indexed image ready for archiving, it is estimated that takes about 3 minutes.  To an organisation with an archive of 500,000 documents, this is a cumulative time of 25,000 man hours.  This means that this task would take one man more than 13 years to complete!  Indexing is not a difficult task but it is very labour intensive.  With Océ Indexer, the time spent processing scanned data in to an archive can be reduced by typically 80%.  Those organisations with Hollerith punched microfilm cards can enjoy a fully automatic process from the point of scanning to deposit in the archive!

Océ Indexer is an application designed for enhancing, indexing and entering technical documents into either an Océ Doc Exec Pro vault, a 3rd party document management system or computer operating system directory structure.

It has an easy to use, yet powerful user interface that improves the total process of document capture and indexing of scanned files. The rich feature set is fully configurable, allowing indexer to support almost any type of input device or destination system.
