The Business Problem – finding what you need!
You may be working in an organisation that is suffering from information overload handling thousands or even millions of electronic and physical
documents on an annual basis. If so, then you may be like many of our clients and other organisations who have the same problem which is how do you
find what you need at any point in time…sure you can search your own files but what about your colleagues or even the files of someone who has left
the organisation?
There is then the storage problem – quite literally thousands if not millions of electronic and physical documents are saved and archived each year,
either to meet a regulatory requirement or simply through standard best practice procedures. This equates to millions of pounds being spent by
companies not only on archiving documents, but also in cost associated with retrieval of documents from archiving centres to respond to queries.
Alpha Zero helps companies reduce their storage and archiving costs by offering "Pathway". Pathway with integrated OCR searches current or archived
files concurrently. Pathway can be adapted specifically to your company's needs with the option of adding different components, providing you with a
complete information management system. Not only is the speed in which Pathway retrieves documents impressive, it also automatically provides a brief
summary of each document to make it easier to locate the documents most relevant to you. Pathway is easily installed and its modular structure
provides a scalable and flexible solution which can be overlayed whatever an organisation's technical infrastructure.
