DocsCorp has entered into an agreement with OpenText to offer its contentCrawler technology to eDOCS DM clients under the name OpenText Image Crawler. OpenText Image Crawler will ensure all documents in eDOCS DM are 100% text-searchable, helping to reduce legal and compliance risks as well as productivity losses.

More than 20% of documents in a content repository are "invisible" to search technology. These documents often get profiled in content repositories as a result of ingestion of legacy or litigation documents, saving emails with attachments, mobile technology and employee workarounds, which bypass the OCR'ing process. Failure to produce documents on demand impacts the bottom line, workplace efficiency, regulatory compliance, productivity, and exposes a business to unnecessary risks.

OpenText Image Crawler is an integrated analysis, processing and reporting framework designed to enable OpenText eDOCS DM administrators to search and query the database libraries for image-based documents.

It can then convert these documents to text-based PDF documents, profiling the resulting documents back into OpenText eDOCS DM with minimal intervention. Once profiled, the OpenText eDOCS DM index server will index these image documents, which had previously been invisible to text searching.

OpenText Image Crawler integrates with OpenText eDOCS, MS SharePoint, and MS Windows file systems.
