by content 28.12.2021

1. What is digitizing documents with OCR?

Digitizing documents with OCR is a process adopting optical character recognition technology in converting hard copies (photos, scan, PDF, etc.) into soft copies (word files, etc.) to store on computers.

2. Why does document digitization attract businesses in Covid-19?

According to a nationwide survey of more than 10 thousand businesses by Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry (VCCI), over 87% of them are suffering the negative effects of the Covid-19 pandemic profoundly or completely - a gloomy picture of Vietnam’s economy.

Covid-19 also leads to great challenges that businesses have to face in terms of standardizing their remote working processes, especially for managing data - the most valuable asset. Some difficulties of businesses when implementing these processes are:

? Limit access to information and data: Employees cannot search for and access hard copies of data at their offices, causing delays in data processing and decreasing business productivity.

? Risk with paper-based documents: When working from home, employees face higher risk of losing or ruining important documents. Moreover, data is not stored systematically, making it difficult and time-consuming to check or standardize data. 

? Financial burden for SMEs: Rent and facility expenses to store documents at offices account for a significant amount of cost. But they are rising and become a waste when employees do not work at offices during social distancing.

Driven by those challenges, using software to digitize documents with OCR technology has become one of the most outstanding solutions. It helps organizations and businesses to “boost productivity, reduce costs" during the pandemic with superior advantages: 

    ? Create a breakthrough in operational productivity: Digitizing data makes it more speedy, accurate and systematic to store, find, organize and share information through computers. This reduces risks such as mistakes made by manual entry, loss of documents, etc.

    ? Save more storage space: Businesses can clear office space, shrink storage size from a few tens of square meters to a few bytes on computers.

    ? Secure data maximally: OCR technology allows computers to directly extract customer information and store it on businesses' CRM without intermediaries, thereby ensuring security and privacy. Compared to the physical security method, this is the most secure way to store important data today.

    ? Optimize costs of management: Digitizing documents helps reduce costs of managing files, printing, rent and personnel expenses, etc., thus increasing profit.
