Auto-Import Station for DM Dokumenten Management GmbH

DM Dokumenten Management GmbH is a provider of complete document management solutions. One of its clients is Wüstenrot-Gruppe — an Austria-based company providing financial and real-estate services. For this client DM developed and installed a system for mass capture of various documents. This system was based on ABBYY FormReader 6.0 Enterprise Edition which is a distributed software for document capture which consists of stations of different types. Some stations are responsible for scanning, others for OCR, verification, data validation, system management, and release.

As its input front-end, the system uses industrial scanners that are not directly compatible with ABBYY FormReader 6.0 Enterprise Edition Scanning Station. This way, the images are captured using the software bundled with the scanners, and stored as multi-page TIFF files. After that they must be automatically imported. Although ABBYY FormReader 6.0 Enterprise Edition Scanning Station has the import-from-folder feature, its functionality did not satisfy the system's requirements.

In search of the solution, DM contacted ATAPY Software. Due to its profound knowledge of ABBYY products, ATAPY was able to write a new component of the system named Auto-Import Station (AIS). AIS replaces the Scanning Station and, as far as the rest of the system is concerned, imitates its behavior. The solution was successfully installed to Wüstenrot and demonstrated impressive performance.

More information about ABBYY FormReader 6.0 Enterprise Edition and DM Dokumenten Management's experience in this particular installation is available here.
