Enterprise Document Management System
Today capturing, storing and transmitting information plays a crucial role in an efficient business
Knowledge stored on paper is tomorrow's intellectual property. How an organisation chooses to store and make this information available is crucial to its future success.
Electronic document management is the preferred method for many organisations who wish to reduce their paper archives, save office space, increase staff productivity, reduce retrieval time, have secure storage, improve customer service and keep management control.

Indexing Documents
The scanned documents are stored in an automatic indexing queue to save the time on the indexing process. Indexing can be performed during scanning or after completion of the whole process. Both indexing and retrieval have been optimized with careful attention to ease of use and to operator preferences. Un-necessary keystrokes and mouse clicks have been eliminated leading to the fastest possible storage and retrieval of documents.
Features:
- Optional automatic generation of document number indexing
- One mandatory and up to 16 optional fields indexing
- Automatic Capture Barcode information and import into the database
- Performs whole document or Zone OCR for quick indexing
- Automatic Full Text OCR in background or Overnight without any user interface
- Reduces manual data entry by copy and paste function from scanned image
- Select predefined or pre-typed index information from drop down menu list
Finding Documents
It is imperative that documents and files can be searched and accessed easily from the document management system. LazyWorks uses a wide range of search terms and algorithms to dig the required information from the databases.
Documents can be searched in different ways:
- Fast document retrieval from central or local databases
- Search for start of field, whole field or any part of field
- Searching during typing (predictive search)
- Performs predictive search
- Full OCR text search within a file or in the whole database
- Search for exact user defined word
- Search by date, time or login information
After the retrieval process, users can take advantage of the powerful built-in additional functions for efficient document and Information management:
Import/Export (included) - one or many documents can be imported. Each imported document is indexed into the system via the index area.
LazyOCRThis option allows end users to create a text file of the scanned image (OCR scanning, full text search). Optical Character Recognition is used to create the text file, this can be used on a batch of scanned documents or on an individual image. In addition to this, the OCR function enables the end user to draw a box or "zone" around a line of text on the screen. The OCR zone then converts the image into the text characters which significantly reduces the manual data entry process to 95%.
LazyConvertThis function will install "like a printer". The design is for a user to "print" electronically to a file, instead of output to a printer onto hard copy paper. For example if you were working in a text file, and you wanted to place an "un-editable" copy of the file into LazyWorks, you could use the LazyConvert function. This would generate an electronic file (a raster or tiff file) that would be the same as if you had printed the file and then scanned the file back into LazyWorks. LazyConvert eliminates the need to print out paper documents and store them in paper files, this module also significantly reduces the printing and collating cost therefore adding to the benefits of a paperless office.
LazySearch IntegrationThis functionality allows the end user to have a direct interface with another Windows application and the document management system. The purpose of this would be to "search" LazyWorks while operating inside another application. For example, if you were in an accounting application, and you wanted to see the scanned image of the invoice number you see in your accounting screen, you could use LazySearch Integration module to use that invoice number to automatically launch LazyWorks and search, then display that invoice image, from the invoice number displayed in your accounting program. Once installed and configured, a simple press of a function key (F7) would instantly perform this valuable function.
