Case Study: Becker & Poliakoff achieves automated, single-step OCR and full text-searchability with DocsCorp's contentCrawler

ContentCrawler Changed Becker & Poliakoff's OCR workflow from Four Steps to One

Becker & Poliakoff, a multi‑practice commercial law firm, faced a costly, cumbersome four‑step OCR workflow—scan into the system, open in pdfDocs, add an OCR text layer, then profile into the DMS—which was time‑consuming, error‑prone and left many files non‑searchable. To address the risk of non‑compliance and inefficiency, the firm engaged DocsCorp and implemented contentCrawler.

DocsCorp deployed contentCrawler as an automated end‑to‑end OCR framework running in Active Monitoring and Backlog modes, converting legacy and newly profiled files into text‑searchable PDFs 24/7 with no staff intervention. The solution consolidated the four‑step process into a single workflow, can process about 17,000 pages per day on a 4‑core machine, handled hundreds of thousands of legacy documents, reduced OCR time and costs, replaced hardware/software needs, and made all documents searchable and compliant.
