Corporate Archives
Transform Enterprise Archives into Enterprise Assets
Preserving and accessing a corporation's archives poses new business and technical challenges. Internal customers demand more information on ever shrinking timelines, prime sources deteriorate, and the cost of maintaining paper records continues to climb. Librarians are expected to assure the highest quality preservation, easiest access to the company's content, while decreasing the expenses associated with records management. Olive Software offers powerful solutions that help librarians digitize information and provide online access to content stored on microfilm, microfiche, paper, or digital documents.

Automate document digitization and segmentation into reusable components
Olive automates the digitization process, from scanning paper or microfilm, through OCR, and indexing the archive to make it searchable at a very granular level. We have vast experience in overcoming common problems associated with digitizing old documents. Our solutions address skewing, noise, fading, yellowing, scratches, dense text, ink problems, and multiple fonts.
Olive adds significant value to content using its proprietary segmentation process. This process breaks documents into logical components, such as articles, charts, tables, and graphics. Users can view the information in its original format and search it at a granular level. Our unique approach provides context around search results, making information more valuable when a patron searches through a large archive. The underlying XML enables long-term preservation of content in an open, industry-standard format that is independent of any proprietary software. In addition, storing documents as a collection of XML components enables organizations to repurpose their content in new and innovative ways.
