NetDocuments OCR Enables Advanced Document and Image Management

NetDocuments, a cloud-based document and email management (DMS) platform for law firms and corporate legal and compliance departments, has announced an integration with DocsCorp, a provider of productivity tools and services for document management professionals.

NetDocuments Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is an OCR and image compression technology delivered as a secured cloud-to-cloud service without requiring any on-premises software to be installed. The technology is powered by DocsCorp’s patented contentCrawler, a cloud-based content analysis technology, maintaining NetDocuments compliance standards and service-level standards.

NetDocuments OCR, available to customers in July, 2018, will monitor all incoming images and image-based PDFs and automatically convert to searchable PDF and full-text index all the content.

Although contentCrawler has been available for many years as an on-premises solution for document management solutions including NetDocuments, NetDocuments OCR provides an exclusive service to customers by delivering on the company’s mantra to be “Cloud First, Cloud Only,” said NetDocuments’ SVP of products and partners Leonard Johnson.  The offering is part of the company’s compute fabric strategy, encouraging the industry to migrate client and server technologies to the cloud and remove the burdens historically placed on the customer to maintain the installation and testing of software upgrades and compatibility challenges so often associated with legacy DM technologies, Johnson said.
