Case Study: Deloitte achieves scalable, automated searchable eDiscovery with ABBYY Recognition Server

Deloitte Extends the Capabilities of their eDiscovery Suite with the Help of ABBYY Recognition Server

Deloitte LLP’s UK Forensic practice—part of a global professional services network with about 1,400 forensic practitioners across 30+ countries—needed to process large volumes of image-only documents (scanned PDFs, JPGs, TIFFs, GIFs) as part of eDiscovery work. These files were unsearchable by their eDiscovery suite, making manual review slow, error-prone, and unable to cope with volume spikes of up to 1,000 documents per hour.

Deloitte implemented ABBYY Recognition Server, a centrally managed, scalable OCR service that integrates with back-end systems and automates conversion via watched folders. The server performs high-speed, multi-language (190 languages) OCR, returns searchable text to the eDiscovery suite, and greatly reduced manual effort while improving searchability and throughput for forensic investigations.
