Case Study: Zurich City Archive improves record search efficiency with Acodis

Zurich City Archive digitizes 33,000 index cards with Acodis

The Zurich City Archive faced the challenge of making over 33,000 physical youth welfare index cards from 1920-1980 digitally searchable, as manually locating specific case files was a time-consuming, multi-step process. To solve this, they partnered with Acodis to utilize its Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) service for automated OCR and data extraction.

Acodis implemented a solution that processed scanned documents, extracted the required metadata, and prepared it for integration into the archive's database. This allowed the Zurich City Archive to save significant time and resources while dramatically increasing search efficiency; case files and their details can now be located within seconds.
