Case Study: UCLA improves document access and compliance with Ripcord digitization

Ease of Access to Disparate Building Records

The University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) faced a challenge in managing its vast and disparate collection of historical building records, maintenance documents, and Ph.D. thesis reports stored in physical boxes. UCLA’s facilities management department sought a more efficient way to share this valuable repository and ensure compliance with long-term retention policies. They partnered with Ripcord for a digitization solution using the Ripcord Canopy platform.

Ripcord scanned, classified, and extracted text from the documents, making the entire collection available in a cloud-based, searchable index. This solution from Ripcord significantly increased efficiency for UCLA by providing swift access to critical maintenance records, ensured compliance with document retention policies, and improved overall operational efficiency for the facilities management team.
