Integrate ABBYY FineReader Server into the systems you already use
ABBYY FineReader Server Integration
You may already have ABBYY FineReader Server in place, but still use it mainly as a stand-alone OCR or hot-folder service. That leaves a lot of potential unused. Take full advantage of all the features this powerful enterprise document conversion server application has to offer.
FineReader Server provides an API that allows us to connect its OCR and document conversion capabilities directly to your existing business applications and document processes. Instead of users moving files manually between systems, we can make FineReader Server work as an integrated document-processing component in the background.
Where integration can improve your process
Your existing system may already manage customers, contracts, cases, orders, documents, or archive records. The missing step is often document conversion or OCR. Using the FineReader Server API, we can develop the connection between these systems so that documents are submitted for processing automatically and the completed result is returned to the right place. Typical examples include:
- sending scanned documents from your existing application directly to FineReader Server
- converting image-only PDFs into searchable PDFs before they are archived
- automatically returning processed documents to your DMS, archive, or line-of-business system
- adding OCR to an existing scanning or document upload process
- processing documents before they are stored in SharePoint
- replacing manual file transfers between FineReader Server and other business systems
Integration around your existing software
The objective is not to replace your current business application. We use FineReader Server as a document-processing engine and build the integration around the system you already have. This may involve:
- submitting documents through the FineReader Server API
- selecting the appropriate processing workflow
- monitoring processing in the background
- retrieving the completed document automatically
- passing the result back to the requesting application
- optimizing how FineReader Server is used within the existing process
For your users, the result can be much simpler: they continue working in the system they already know while OCR and document conversion happen behind the scenes.
We develop the integration for you
The work starts with a short consultation. You show us the existing process, where documents come from, what FineReader Server needs to do, and where the result should go. We then define the integration, prepare a commercial proposal, and begin development after the scope is agreed and the project is contracted.
Results can often be visible within a few days
For many straightforward FineReader Server integrations, 1–3 professional service days can already be enough to deliver a working integration or a clearly visible process improvement. The exact effort depends on the existing system, the required document flow, and the level of integration.
Make better use of the FineReader Server you already have
If FineReader Server currently operates beside your business systems rather than as part of them, integration can remove unnecessary manual steps and make the existing investment much more useful.
