Case Study: Stibbe achieves searchable access to 28 million documents and GDPR compliance with DocsCorp's contentCrawler

How Stibbe used contentCrawler to index 28 million documents and emails for its enterprise search engine

Stibbe, an internationally-orientated Benelux law firm with over 375 lawyers, needed to ensure its enterprise search could find 100% of documents to meet GDPR data return, erase and portability requirements. Many of its files (scans, TIFFs, image-based PDFs) lacked a searchable text layer, so Stibbe turned to DocsCorp’s contentCrawler automated OCR solution to address non-searchable content without disrupting staff workflows.

DocsCorp configured contentCrawler as a set-and-forget solution that connects to file servers, email servers, the document management system and SharePoint to automatically convert image-based files into searchable PDFs for indexing. As a result, the enterprise search now indexes more than 28 million documents and emails, staff save time by avoiding manual OCR, and Stibbe can reliably meet GDPR search and data-handling requirements thanks to DocsCorp.
