Ronald Melamed, owner of DAS commented: “Using TIS’ eFLOW, an average of 22,000 documents are processed per day. The main advantages of eFLOW in this project are its ability to substantially reduce the manual capture requirements over the full range of forms and other documents being processed and to be able to deal with the wide range in quality of the images. eFLOW therefore not only reduces editing costs, but also improves the accuracy of the metadata. In addition, the statistics produced by eFLOW are useful in generating meaningful production reports.”
Jonathan Scott, the CEO of Raven Imaging remarks that, “eFLOW is the only document recognition system that has been capable of meeting the requirements of this very demanding project. Its high intelligence levels provide it with the flexibility to interpret most of the array of images we have encountered. Our experience of eFLOW, and the support we have received from TIS and DAS in its implementation makes it our document recognition system of choice.”
Mr. Gelb, Executive VP of TIS concluded: “This win further establishes our presence in South Africa and once more validates eFLOW’s technological superiority. We are happy to meet the strict requirements of this high volume project that brings together strong players and present an extended offering that may serve other projects in the future”.
