Challenge and Solution

An overview of the Scheuch Group’s initial situation and our approach to solving it.

Challenge Solution

Over the years, Scheuch GmbH has amassed a paper archive of several thousand binders. Physical archives need a lot of space and it requires a lot of time and effort to find specific documents via conventional searches. The company wanted to make all information available to all locations worldwide.

Using high-performance scanners, the documents were scanned in colour at the Österreichische Post location in Haid and saved in PDF format. To allow for searches not only by document name, but also for text searches inside specific documents, all documents were recorded using OCR recognition technology. As a final step, all documents were indexed following the client's specifications.

The first wave of archive digitisation started in January 2015, when large amounts of binders were scanned within just a few months. After the successful project launch, another part of the archive was digitised in 2016. In the autumn of 2019, Scheuch Gruppe entrusted Österreichische Post with the digitisation of another archive for location-independent access.
