Document Conversion and Outsourcing
OCR-IT Document Conversion Services Team uses the following methodology and project progress tracking for every Document Conversion task.
| Party | Stage | Task |
| Client | INITIATION | Issue the Order for Service, complete Service Agreement, discuss project progression. |
| Client | PREPARATION | Prepare documents for processing. Documents should be in PDF (without password protection or content extraction limitations), TIF, JPEG, BMP, PNG file format. Documents may be in sub-folder structure, or in a single folder. This original structure will be preserved for Delivery. |
| Client | SEND | Documents should be provided to OCR-IT for processing. Media options are: – FTP (OCR-IT will provide secure FTP location) – HDD (Recommended for large volumes over several GB) – Any other standard storage media, such as USB drive, flash card, DVD, etc. Sending options are: – FedEx – FTP – Local pickup (for urgent projects) |
| OCR-IT | SETUP | Documents are received and checked for transmission errors. Processing profile is created. Processing settings are confirmed to client. |
| OCR-IT | PROOF RUN | A small sample set is processed using created settings. Processed set is delivered to client for review. |
| Client | PROOF CHECK | Sample is reviewed and settings confirmed. Upon confirmation, OCR-IT locks down settings to be used for the entire volume. |
| OCR-IT | PRODUCTION | Entire volume goes into production with confirmed settings. Progress updates are provided every 48 hours to completion. |
| OCR-IT | QA | Upon completion, results are checked using following techniques: – Total count IN = total count OUT – File name IN = file name OUT – Random spot check to verify successful processing (searchability) and desired file format output (per settings) NOTE: Some projects may or may not include manual verification of text. |
| OCR-IT | DELIVERY | Entire result is sent to Client using same delivery method as in SEND stage, unless explicitly requested by Client to be something difference. |
| OCR-IT | BILLING | Invoice covering processing results is sent. Final processing report is also provided. |
| Client | ACEPTANCE | Client has 2 calendar weeks after receiving the DELIVERY to check results and communicate any questions or issues. After 2 weeks after client receives results, unless otherwise requested by Client, project is considered delivered and closed. |
This process can be customized and adjusted to customer-specific needs and requirements.
OCR-IT offers incremental deliveries for large projects, which provide our clients with processed documents in stages, based on mutually agreed upon schedule.
