Case Study: New Forest National Park Authority archives millions of documents with Nutrient Document Automation Server

New Forest National Park Authority archives 30,000 documents a day with Nutrient

The New Forest National Park Authority needed to digitally archive millions of aging paper documents, including planning applications and tree protection orders, to prevent data loss and meet public accessibility targets. Their existing system created numerous, inaccessible TIFF files, making document viewing difficult for the public. They turned to Nutrient, implementing its Document Automation Server to address these challenges.

Nutrient's solution automated the conversion of TIFF files into searchable PDFs using OCR and merged multiple pages into single, accessible documents. This allowed the Authority to process up to 30,000 files per day, aiming to archive one million documents monthly. The results included a fully searchable digital archive, significant time savings for applicants viewing files, and the successful preservation of documents dating back 40-50 years, all while meeting stringent government accessibility requirements.
