Challenges
The major issues include:
o Software & Hardware compatibility
o Implementation of System
o Human Resource
o Maintenance Costs
Sharing information not when it arrives, but when it is needed.
Being able to retrieve relevant information from a variety of unstructured sources
and thereby adding value to the task at hand.
Re-prints of documents

Current Scenario

Most of the documents are in paper based format especially the one received from
outside the organization, so the physical file has to be accessed for retrieval of
information and processing. For sharing of information between departments the file has
to leave the premises, which is timing consuming and insecure process. If some
information is needed the physical document has to be accessed. Immediate viewing
and re-prints are not available. Moreover, it requires storage space for keeping records.

Our Objectives

Providing a comprehensive solution for your organization to convert paper based

information into digital format and publishing the contents into an Electronic Document
Management System for search, retrieval and print etc..

 ZyIMAGE Product Benefits

Our proposed solution is based on the award

winning ZyLAB Free-Text Retrieval
Technology. The software runs on Windows
NT/2000 Server Architecture and provides
search capabilities through its own ZyFIND
engine or through standard Web Browser,
when in combination with Web-server
License. ZyLAB automatic indexing process
accepts over 250 file formats including TIF,
PDF, DWG, DOC, PPT, XLS etc., and in
over 19 languages including ARABIC.

ZyLAB, unlike all other Document Management Systems, is built around 3-basic
fundamentals:

1. Effortless Indexing (English and Arabic)

2. Free-Text Search on the whole Document, (besides ODBC Connectivity)
3. Search & Find the exact location of the TEXT and NOT JUST THE
WHOLE IMAGE as with any Document Management System

Details of each of the basic fundamentals are as follows:

1. Effortless Indexing

The quality of any archive is determined by the quality of the index. More the
information contained in an index, greater would be the accuracy and speed of
search. However, creating a structured database index is both time-consuming
and most of the time cumbersome, due to varying kinds of documents. A
database index normally holds less than 1% of image contained information,
thereby necessitating multiple field creations and structuring. End result, over
70% of cost and time is spent in Indexing through Manual Data Entry.

ZyLAB’s innovative indexing technology releases the strain and stress attached
to Indexing. ZyLAB indexes through automatic OCR (running under Windows
NT/2000 service).

Needless to add, in an environment where an ODBC data is being generated by
another system, ZyLAB can drag-in the required Fields from the Database
and enable search in combination with FREE-TEXT.

2. Free Text Search

Once the above indexing operation is completed, within seconds the documents
are ready to be searched. Depending on the choice, search can be performed
through Client Server Software (ZyFIND) or a Standard Web Browser (Internet
Explorer/ Netscape Navigator).

Search Word is typed-

in, based on what one is
looking for in the
document and can be
combined with powerful
Boolean Operations and
ODBC look-up table to
find the exact document
anytime, anywhere,
consistently. The
search speed is
achieved at an
incredible speed of 25
seconds per 20 GB
data.

3. Search & Find the exact location of the TEXT
The power of any
Document Management
Solution is judged by its
ability to locate the
concerned document in
the fastest possible time.
ZyLAB has changed
this parameter, by its
ability to not only
locate the document,
but also indicate where
in the document it
found the match.
ZyLAB is the one and
only software capable of
performing this function
and all this at an
incredible speed.

Keeping in view your traditional paper based documents we can implement a

customized solution which is efficient, reliable and cost effective.

Records Retrieval
Any employee with network access and security, can search, query and
retrieve any document and its associated documents.
Wild Search helps in retrieving documents other than the indexed format.
Your associated departments can retrieve the information through the web.
Once retrieved the document can be e-mailed, faxed or printed to any local
printer subject to the rights defined for each user.
