Today education organizations continue to struggle with the productivity challenges associated with creating, sharing and working with paper and electronic documents. No matter the size of the institution, manual document processes represent the greatest barrier to enhanced operational efficiency and improved productivity. The connectivity and ease of information sharing enabled by the Internet offers both opportunities and challenges when it comes to the document lifecycle. Many have found that the ability to create and share documents electronically doesn't necessarily translate into increased productivity, since serious issues of working with documents still need to be overcome. In spite of this level of electronic sophistication few would believe that they have achieved the goals of a true "paperless office."

The most significant barrier to implementing seamless document lifecycles is the lack of a single, universal standard for creating, editing, sharing and storing documents. Instead there are numerous document creation applications that lock paper and digital information into proprietary formats that cannot be used without the original document's source application. Recreating the information by hand isn't the answer. This manual process is frustrating, tedious and costly. Using Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to transform paper and digital information into a useable format is a proven way to minimize the cost associated with repurposing information locked on paper and digital documents.
