DOCURIDE DOCURIDE je dvoudenní odborná konference zaměřená na oblast Enterprise Content Management, která se koná vždy na podzim v Jihlavě. Má již svou zavedenou tradici a patří mezi největší konference svého druhu v České republice. Pravidelně se jí účastní téměř 100 lidí, představitelů významných společností a odborníků na oblast ECM. Cílem konference je snaha reagovat na aktuální témata a trendy v oblasti práce s elektronickými dokumenty, zprostředkovat odborný výklad platné legislativy týkající se elektronické archivace a autenticity digitálních dokumentů, prezentovat přístupy a konkrétní řešení v různých oblastech práce s dokumenty a informacemi a v neposlední řadě umožnit účastníkům výměnu zkušeností s ostatními manažery z praxe. Přednášky probíhají jak společně v hlavním sále, tak v oddělených sekcích dle témat, které si účastníci volí libovolně dle svého zájmu. Jednacími jazyky konference jsou čeština, slovenština a angličtina (přednášky nejsou tlumočeny). Na závěr prvního dne konference organizujeme společnou večeři a zábavný společenský program, kde je možné se s účastníky blíže poznat a pokračovat ve výměně užitečných informací.

2020 AGENDA: ARE YOU READY?™
2020: Digital Disruption The year 2020 will see a convergence of forces into a nexus that the enterprise can capitalize on to create opportunities for growth and innovation. There are three major forces that contribute to digital disruption: disruptive technologies, the “Generation Z” workforce, and digitalization on a mass scale. When combined, these factors create a powerful platform for change.
DIGITAL DISRUPTION IS STRONGER AND FASTER
FIGURE 1: Digital Disruption is Cheaper, Faster, and Stronger
10x
the innovators
1/10TH the cost
100x the power
Cheaper, Faster, Stronger What gives digital disruptions even greater impact is the speed of development and the magnitude of innovation involved in their creation. Unlike the disruptions introduced by the Web in the nineties, this digital disruption is cheaper, faster, and stronger.
1. Disruptive Technologies New technologies that will impact the enterprise are being developed at lightning speed. Many of these technologies will be mainstream by 2020. Examples include 5th generation (5G) mobile networks, holographic TVs, nanobots, wearable technologies (like Google Glass®), three-dimensional (3D) printing, and The Internet of Things (IoT).

5G 2020
In 2020, 5G wireless networks will support 1,000-fold gains in capacity, connections for at least 100 billion devices, and a 10 gigabyte individual user experience capable of extremely low latency and response times. Deployment of these networks will emerge between 2020 and 2030. 5G radio access will be built upon new radio access technologies (RAT) and evolve based on existing wireless. Breakthroughs in wireless network innovation will also drive economic and societal growth in entirely new ways. 5G will realize networks capable of providing zero-distance connectivity between people and connected machines.1 In 2020, the boundaries between technology and people will blur, heightened by holographic TVs, 3D printing, and wearable technologies. Texting by thought will replace texting by smartphone. The ability to scan a 3D object, send the digital file, and print a 3D replica, for example, will be mainstream. Although they will still be considered a luxury item in 2020, holographic images will be used to fill entire rooms. Nanobots will be able to sense stimuli, perform complex calculations and computations, communicate, and collaborate. Whole industries will be affected by the consolidation of information from diverse systems, including mobile devices, Global Positioning System (GPS), and video surveillance. All of these inputs will be connected and placed onto networks to contribute to The Internet of Things (IoT). The Internet of Things has been called “the world’s new digital nervous system”.2 The IoT brings together wireless technologies, Micro-Electromechanical Systems (MEMS) and Internet technology to connect many disparate machines to exchange information. According to Gartner there will be nearly 26 billion devices on the Internet of Things by 2020.3

FIGURE 3: The Internet of Things—Connecting Devices, Sensors, RFID tags, Meters, and Smart Appliances 4
The IoT will automatically integrate data, people, and processes in new and varying ways. By the year 2020, there will be 5 billion users on the Internet.5 Hyper-mobile connectivity is already becoming more affordable and widespread. With enhanced communications and innovations like the IoT, the world is becoming a smaller place. This will result in the creation of new products and services. The ability to tap into the broad network created by the IoT will be critical to the digital enterprise in 2020.
2. The “Generation Z” Workforce By 2020, more than 50 percent of the workforce will be “digital natives” and expect to be connected to the way they want to work, 24/7. Meet “Generation Z”, made up of a generation that has grown up with easy access to and knowledge of the Internet and its applications. This technically savvy generation will expect unlimited access to information and be driven by the immediacy of real-time insight and action. Generation Z presents the greatest generational shift the workplace has ever seen, challenging leaders, managers, and Human Resources (HR) in all sectors to radically change the way they attract, retain, and support the workforce.
3. Mass Digitalization The growth in Internet users will result in more people gathering, transmitting, and exchanging information online. The Internet will continue to grow as a channel for distribution, revamping value chains in many industries. In the year 2020, the delivery of software, video, audio, games, and other media content will be almost entirely digital, without requiring the use of physical media. The transformation from analog to digital is well underway. This is already in evidence today, as email and texting render the postal industry obsolete; newspapers are replaced by online websites and user-generated content; and record labels and outlets are subverted by the artists distributing music themselves and through online stores like iTunes®.

2020: Information is the New Currency The recent innovations in technologies discussed are challenging the established rules of business. What all these technologies have in common is that they enable a new way of using information. Information is no longer just a cost factor, but rather the basis for innovation, growth, and competitiveness. Information is becoming the core component of a corporate strategy. Information is the currency of the digital economy. In 2020, information will drive competitive advantage in the digital enterprise. One of the biggest business challenges related to digital transformation will be how to effectively manage growing volumes of information to optimize its value while reducing risk. IDC predicts that by 2020 the world will generate 50 times the amount of information it does currently.6 New technologies, skills, and analysis will be required to mitigate the cost of creating, capturing, managing, and storing information.

Digital Changes Everything The pace of business has accelerated. There have been more changes in the past twenty years than in the previous 100. In a world where everything is touched by technology, the enterprise has never had such an incredible opportunity to reinvent itself—to more closely align business with technology, deliver significant customer value, and make transformational business impact. Changes that are taking place in business today are reminiscent of the seventies when technology promised increased competitive advantage through automation and greater efficiencies. Business models were radically transformed again in the nineties as technology and commerce intersected on the Internet. The technologies of today— social, mobile, and cloud computing—are causing seismic shifts in many industries, from publishing to entertainment to government. Entire sectors and old business models are being swept away as people find new ways to access information, news, entertainment, products, and services to meet their daily needs. Based on the progress of the past and the present rate of change, how will digital technology transform business models to meet the needs of the workplace, the supply chain, and marketing channels in the future? What will the enterprise look like in 2020? By 2020 all of the major operating functions of the enterprise will be digital. Digital business involves a complete transformation. Organizations will need to digitize every process and re-configure their businesses to ensure competitiveness and effectiveness. To keep pace with evolving consumer and business needs, the enterprise of today will have to transform itself into the digital enterprise of tomorrow. The capacity of digital technology to expedite communication has influenced the ways that people interact with each other, with information, and with businesses. The ability to securely manage the exchange of information—in a multitude of formats, many of which have not yet been conceived—will be crucial in the digital enterprise of 2020. Information lies at the heart of digital transformation. In the digital age, information is the new currency, playing a crucial role in enabling innovation, growth, and opportunity. Information leads to greater insights, better business decisions, higher customer satisfaction, greater agility, and optimized business performance. But how can the enterprise unlock the potential of information without compromising productivity and security? Enterprise Information Management (EIM) is the key transformative technology. This paper explores the future of digital technologies, their impact on the enterprise, and how EIM equips the enterprise as it transforms itself into the digital enterprise to brace for change and opportunity in the year 2020.

Organizations are collecting increasingly detailed amounts of information. The value of managing enterprise information is being realized as a recent study found that 95 percent of organizations correlate strong information management with business success.”8 For the strategic CIO, managing and harnessing information is essential to driving the 2020 agenda for innovation and growth.
2020: Digital Transformation Digital technologies are a major driver of business strategy. “From big data to cloud computing, executives see digital technologies as transforming business—more than half (52%) see them as driving either a “complete transformation” or “significant change”.9 Enabling 2020 is a multi-year journey. To empower the digital enterprise, the strategic CIO will need to embrace future trends in technology. In 2020, the enterprise will either evolve or it will get disrupted. Business technology leaders of the future will apply the technologies described above to re-engineer and digitize old business models to support: •

2020 Employees: The Digital Workplace As they enter the workforce, Generation Z will introduce the globalization of talent. While it works to support the existing workforce, the enterprise will also have to support Generation Z and the way that they like to work. This generation will expect to use the same tools in the workplace that they use at home to communicate, collaborate, and share information. The enterprise will need to adapt to attract, retain, and motivate a workforce that is digital, social rather than hierarchical, mobile, and highly collaborative. The good news is that, if they are empowered, this highly-agile workforce will help the enterprise on its journey to digital transformation.

2020 Customers: Digital Marketing In 2020, digital will become the direct route to market. Businesses will connect directly with their customers through omni-channel experiences to provide highly personalized products and services in real time. Customers will expect immediacy and experiences that satisfy. The sales funnel will be replaced by multiple interactions to create a lifetime of customer value and brands will be built and maintained in consumer communities rather than by marketing departments and advertising. In 2020, “customer obsession” and new markets will create a more complex business environment. In the “age of the customer”, technology-led disruption is eroding traditional competitive barriers such as manufacturing strength, distribution power, and information mastery. For example, empowered buyers have information at their fingertips to check a price, read a product review, or access peers for advice. In 2020, a sustainable competitive advantage will be knowledge of and engagement with the customer.”10

2020 AGENDA: ARE YOU READY?™
The key to sales and marketing success in 2020 will depend on an organization’s ability to leverage all available data and use it to better understand the customer and deliver compelling messages. Targeted experiences will be created by presenting customers with personalized content through multiple channels, seamlessly connecting with a broad network of external sites to complete the consumer experience. The digital enterprise will tap into the wisdom of the crowd through online consumer communities to source new markets, products, and services. Organizations will replace traditional advertising with user-generated content, empowering customers to share positive experiences as brand evangelists. Digital marketing technologies will need to be intuitive, mobile, accessible, responsive, and secure.
2020 Suppliers: The Digital Supply Chain By 2020, consumers will drive interactions with suppliers. Buyer-driven platforms will continue to infuse the digital world with dynamic and real-time results, expanding on Just-In-Time (JIT) manufacturing to optimize supply chains and meet customer demand. The purchase of goods, such as perishables, cars, and real estate will grow. Consumers will expect immediate delivery following purchase. The rapid delivery of goods will impact the enterprise’s value chain and drive an unprecedented need for supply-chain optimization through real-time, Business-to-Business (B2B) integration. Pioneered by JIT manufacturing and fed by 3D printing, many products will be built to order, which will require a great deal of agility and accuracy from the supply chain. In addition, the Internet of Things (through machine-to-machine interaction) will add big data, predictive analytics, multi-layer transparency, and hyper-connectivity to production. In 2020, off-shoring will become near-shoring, next-day delivery will become next-hour delivery, and sustainability will be a primary requirement. As information flows from employee to consumer to supplier in the digital enterprise, in order to be optimized and efficient, it will need be managed according to governance policies and regulations to minimize risk.

2020 AGENDA: ARE YOU READY?™
2020 Innovation: Accelerated The development of new products and services will evolve from sprints to “hyperconnected dashes” in 2020. Product features will be crowdsourced and collective. Feedback about consumer experience with products and services will be collected to upgrade features, improve delivery, and serve niche markets—in real time—removing the developer “safety net”. Data-based product ideas will be shared across yottabytes (one trillion terabytes) of data and millions of people as innovation cycles are faster, compressed, and even approach the spontaneous. By 2020, 3D printing, holograms, and simulations will completely change product expectations.
2020 Governance: Secure and Trusted In 2020, the need for information security will be crucial. With increasing amounts of data, there is also the growing complexity of legal and regulatory requirements in all sectors. Establishing a single source of the truth across multiple sources will involve managing structured data, unstructured content, and emerging data types, such as social media, securely as records—both inside the firewall and in the cloud. In all countries, countless government regulations, industry standards, and company procedures exist. Non-compliance can lead to poor performance, financial penalties, and even criminal charges. In 2020, growing regulatory and competitive pressures will require the digital enterprise to rethink and reprioritize their security and governance strategies for enterprise information. These requirements will be driven by new, global regulations, increasing amounts of Internet users and privacy-related issues, emerging sustainability metrics, open data, big data, and protection against Intellectual Property (IP) loss. Every business and every department is subject to laws, rules, and regulations that require strict compliance to protect corporate assets. As the enterprise moves from governing systems of record to enabling new systems of engagement, the strategic CIO will need to articulate a digital strategy that balances innovation and growth with security and risk.
2020 IT: Systems of Engagement Enterprises are evolving from systems of record to systems of engagement. Systems of record are the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems that run an organization’s business (financials, CRM, HR, etc.). As records, data has to be accurate, accessible, and integrated. Systems of engagement are systems that engage employees, such as email, social networks, collaborative technologies, and learning systems. Systems of engagement are digital and interactive, and will support the digital enterprise in 2020. This shift is demonstrated by a change in focus from customer transactions to customer interactions; from hierarchical command-and-control systems of governance to flat, globally-enabled collaboration; from facts and commitments to ideas and even nuances. With systems of engagement, discovery and dialogue influence the single source of the truth and conversations are communal, replacing documents as primary record types. Usability is intuitive, accessibility is ad hoc and open, and retention is transient. Finally, policy moves from concentrating on security mechanisms for corporate assets to protecting the privacy of enterprise users.

2020 AGENDA: ARE YOU READY?™
2020: The Strategic CIO In the year 2020, the attention of the strategic CIO will shift to systems of engagement to sustain strategies for growth and innovation. Over the last 30 years, CIOs have been focused on automating processes and transactions in systems of record with ERP systems. For the next 30 years, CIOs will concentrate on automating processes and transactions for unstructured information in systems of engagement (emails, social media, presentations, videos, and more) with Enterprise Information Management (EIM). Unstructured information is today’s untapped resource. Being able to capture, preserve, manage, and build information-oriented applications is the next frontier of competitive business. To create effective, new applications in 2020, the CIO will work with business managers to help them achieve their goals, aligning technology with business function as part of an overall digital strategy that outlines clear corporate goals. Corporate goals will include improving time to market. The strategic CIO will partner with the heads of Research and Development (R&D) and Marketing to create an environment that fosters innovation across geographically distributed teams. Innovation begins with market research and discovery and is developed through collaborative ideation and rapid development processes to targeted demand creation. A partnership with Marketing will facilitate objectives in terms of awareness, demand generation, and field enablement. Decreasing time to revenue is another important corporate goal which is particularly critical for Product Manufacturing functions such as operations, assembly, and production. In 2020, the strategic CIO will partner with line-of-business managers to focus on operational excellence, quality, and cost by optimizing the supply chain and manufacturing processes. Improving time to satisfaction requires the strategic CIO to partner with the heads of Sales and Services to deliver a seamless and engaging customer experience from purchase through to follow-on services. The goal is to transform customers into repeat buyers over an extended lifetime of value. As previously discussed, engagement is delivered through personalized, compelling, and consistent customer experience across all channels. All of these corporate goals can be achieved through the implementation of an EIM strategy and supporting technologies. The decisive strength of EIM is its ability to cross departments, applications, and repositories to integrate with existing ERP systems across value chains and make information available for daily use. EIM embeds information management and security directly into processes, combining structured data with unstructured data to align operations with strategic vision. EIM arms the enterprise with the technology and approaches it needs to transform itself into a digital enterprise.

2020: Change Creates Opportunity Gartner Research captures the challenge CIOs face today: “CIOs require a new agenda that incorporates hunting for new digital innovations and opportunities, and harvesting value from products, services, and operations.”11 Often, the culture of an organization determines its success or failure. All of the great innovators of today have embraced digital innovation.

Disruptive technologies, by their very nature, shake up the status quo. At the early stage of adoption and implementation, the full scope of their influence is difficult to predict. Based on the fast pace of innovation today, it is safe to assume that future digital technologies will either bring down the enterprise or help to transform it into a digital enterprise. The message is clear. To successfully provide products and services to digital consumers, the enterprise must reinvent itself. With change comes tremendous opportunity: the opportunity for the enterprise to form deeper connections with its customers, partners, and employees; to create social, mobile and flexible workplaces that are conducive to higher levels of productivity and innovation; to deliver products and services according to individual need and specification; to streamline the production and delivery of supply chains on a global scale. With opportunity comes risk, and the greatest risk lies in not embracing disruption in an increasingly digital society.

Functionality Overview
Document Processing with FlexiCapture Distributed ABBYY FlexiCapture Distributed features intelligent document recognition technologies for classification, separation, data extraction, and indexing. Customers can select and deploy user-attended client operator stations for (re-)scanning, data verification and document verification. A highly customisable workflow with custom processing stages makes it easy to manage the processing and verification step and configures the level of automatic or manual intervention desired. FlexiCapture allows integration of custom modules for recognition and classification and gives customers the opportunity to integrate third-party verification modules.
(Remote) Scanning and Image Import
(Web-based) Data Verification
Batch scanning, scanner management, and image quality control can be handled by the Scanning Station. Click-once installation allows easy distribution and remote usage of the Scanning Station. Enterprises may also use 3rd-party scanning applications as FlexiCapture supports Hot-Folder or email data capture to automate import.
Data verification operators execute low-level verification tasks to match extracted data with original document data. Data verification can be carried out on group- and field-level to correct form errors. Remote offices or outsourcing service providers can be integrated into the capture process via a web-based interface for data verification, which operates completely within a web browser (using Microsoft Silverlight®).
OCR, ICR, Checkmark and Barcode Recognition FlexiCapture is based on ABBYY’s award-winning recognition technologies delivering unprecedented accuracy and stability in several languages for OCR and ICR. 1D and 2D Barcodes and checkmarks can be recognised and powerful image pre-processing algorithms help to improve recognition quality.
Verification Station ** Automated Data Validation Built-in validation rules are automatically applied during recognition to increase accuracy. Automatic data validation ensures high data quality and reduces the workload for subsequent verification.
Customisable Workflows Custom processing stages can be added to a workflow to set up an individual capture workflow. Enterprises can now adapt company internal workflow requirements to the capture platform or simply create new individual workflows depending on business requirements or document types.
Complex document errors can be manually checked using the Verification Station. Master verification operators can check for assembly errors for document composition and rules validation for data correctness. They can also manually re-assemble documents containing classification and assembling errors. An intuitive dragand-drop interface simplifies this process. The Verification Station‘s look and feel can be tailored to the needs of a verification operator, which allows ergonomic keying and improved validation through verification operators
Data Export Data can be exported to backend applications, databases or can be stored in enterprise repositories. Powerful export features include automated export or export to multiple destinations. FlexiCapture Distributed supports the following export destinations: - Files (most common file formats supported) - XML (Basic and Advanced XML export) - External databases (via ODBC)
Classification, Document Separation, and Indexing Simple document separation via blank pages and barcodes can be implemented in FlexiCapture Distributed. Intelligent separation via multi page document definitions enables processing of different document types in a single stream. Automated and trainable classifiers speed-up the document template development. *
This feature is still under development, planned to be released in a maintenance release of FlexiCapture 10.

ABBYY Recognition Server Product Information
Robust Document Capture and PDF-Conversion ABBYY Recognition Server is a powerful server-based OCR solution for automated document capture and PDF conversion. It allows organisations and scanning service providers to implement cost-efficient processes for converting paper and image documents into electronic files suitable for long-term digital archiving and full-text search. ABBYY Recognition Server automatically acquires document images from scanners, file, fax and e-mail servers, as well as Microsoft® SharePoint® libraries, performs optical character recognition to retrieve full-text information and offers the possibility to add metadata. The results are delivered directly to network folders, SharePoint libraries or other storage and management systems as MRC-compressed searchable PDF or PDF/A files, XML data, Microsoft Word and Excel® files or plain text. This highly scalable solution allows you to quickly convert large quantities of documents in a short time. Its quick deployment, easy administration and automated work routines make ABBYY Recognition Server an investment that delivers fast returns.
How can you benefit from ABBYY Recognition Server? The possibility to convert business documents into digital files in an automated way supports a variety of business processes, for example:
Converting Entire Archives to Searchable PDF/A and PDF Format
Creating Full-text Searchable SharePoint Libraries
ABBYY Recognition Server automatically converts extensive collections of paper documents, scanned document images and complete books into PDF or PDF/A files that can be electronically archived, easily detected via keywords by e-discovery and enterprise search systems, or remotely accessed by employees or clients. The solution is highly scalable and can process large amounts of documents within tight timeframes.
Deployment of a Document Conversion Service
Documents stored in Microsoft SharePoint, such as TIFFs created by fax servers and image PDFs created by scanners, remain “invisible” for the search engine and can’t be detected. ABBYY Recognition Server can retrieve such files, convert them into a searchable format, such as PDF, and store them in the same location so they can be included in the search engine’s index. If scanned PDFs exist among stored PDF files, the application can smartly detect them. It will then add a new text layer, turning them into searchable PDFs instantly.
ABBYY Recognition Server allows implementing a centralised OCR service instead of installing OCR software on many individual workstations. Any employee within an organisation or a workgroup can convert scanned documents to Microsoft Word or searchable PDF files, reaching the service directly at the scanning point or from any location via email or FTP folder. The service can be deployed locally for own employees or in a hosted environment for external clients.
ABBYY Recognition Server can crawl SharePoint libraries and network areas on a continuous basis and automatically convert all newly added image files. Should an existing TIFF collection need to be preserved in its original format, ABBYY Recognition Server can generate searchable text for those images and deliver it as an XML file to the Microsoft Search Engine or the Google Search Appliance leaving the original TIFFs in place.
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS • Highly accurate recognition of documents in more than 190 languages and 1D and 2D barcodes • Automated processing of large document volumes within desired timeframe • Exact copy of the original input file structure in output library with all files in searchable format • Multiple export formats incl. XML, highly compressed MRC PDF, PDF/A, Microsoft Word and others • Conversion of documents directly within Microsoft SharePoint
BENEFITS • Reliable OCR results due to stateof-the-art ABBYY recognition technologies • Easy deployment with any scanner or MFP, existing ECM or other IT system • Fail-safe processing due to workload balancing and cluster support • Flexible usage for smaller quantities as well as for significant document volumes • Fast return on investment due to quick deployment and easy maintenance
Automated Document and PDF Conversion
Feature Overview ABBYY Recognition Server converts documents automatically, with minimum user intervention. It runs in the background and independently performs all document processing steps - round the clock or at pre-defined times:
Step 1: Scanning and Document Input
Step 2: Processing of Documents
Scanning
Document Recognition/OCR
The application offers an easy to use Scanning Station interface that supports scanning of documents in batches. It provides tools for document quality improvements, such as image preview and enhancement, manual redaction, and many others. Scripting commands can be used, for example, to auto-split large pages or re-order pages after duplex scanning.
The optical character recognition process runs automatically on a dedicated workstation – the Processing Station. Using ABBYY’s award-winning OCR technology the system supports a broad range of functions to increase the recognition accuracy, including:
Document Import Previously scanned document images can be automatically retrieved from document libraries or received per e-mail. The imported document images will be processed with corresponding priorities and according to available computing resources.
Scanning via TWAIN, WIA, ISIS Integrates with all network scanners and MFPs.
• Image pre-processing (for example split dual pages for book scans or clear background noise) • Print type definition (chose between normal text, typewriter, dot-matrix, OCR-A, OCR-B, and MICR E13b) • Language definition (more than 190 languages and historic texts in old fonts) Depending on the document’s quality and its structure, the processing mode can be set on either ‘precision’ or ‘speed’. To increase processing speed significantly, for example to process many documents within a tight deadline, additional Processing Stations or a higher number of CPU-cores can be added.
Hot Folder Watching (FTP or Local Network) Automatically processes files arriving in defined folders. Crawling of Network Shares and SharePoint Libraries Detects newly added image files and converts them into a searchable format.
Verification (optional) In some cases, for example when digitising books, verification of the recognition results is necessary. The integrated Verification Station interface offers the possibility to correct the results either on all documents or only on documents that did not reach a predefined recognition accuracy threshold.
Input via E-mail (Exchange, POP3) Integrates with fax and e-mail servers and processes image attachments.
ADVANCED PDF PROCESSING • Creates MRC-compressed PDF and PDF/A files that significantly reduce size of colour documents. • Supports encryption: Limits opening and printing of the created PDF documents.
Indexing (optional) If required, document indexing can be done either manually using the Indexing Station interface or automatically by a script. Lists of index field values can be imported and synchronised with third party systems. Scheduled Processing Different kinds of documents can be processed at different times according to a schedule. 24/7 Fail-safe Processing
• Detects scanned PDFs and PDFs with insufficient text quality and adds a new text layer to the original file.
Multiple Processing Stations and cluster deployment can be used to distribute the workload dynamically and assure reliable processing.
• Retains original image, bookmarks, and attachments when inserting a new text layer into original PDF.
Barcode Recognition
• Digitally created PDFs with a good text layer can be moved directly to the new location.
Values of most popular 1D and 2D barcodes including 2D Aztec, Data Matrix, and QR Code barcodes can be extracted.
• Support for long term document archiving standards: PDF/A-1a, 1b, PDF/A-2a, 2b, 2u
Recognition of Historical Texts in Old Fonts
• Creates PDFs optimised for Internet download.
Support for black letter, Schwabacher and most other Gothic fonts in English, German, French, Italian and Spanish.
Automated Document and PDF Conversion
Feature Overview – continued Step 3: Document Assembly and Export After the recognition stage, ABBYY Recognition Server assembles the processed pages into individual documents. The documents can be separated using blank sheets or barcode pages as separators or by a fixed number of pages per document. Separation can also be done according to a scripted rule.
Assembled documents in the required formats are delivered to predefined output locations such as network folders, SharePoint document libraries, and e-mail addresses. They can as well be handled over to other applications connected via the API.
Additionally, scripts can be applied for intelligent routing and delivery of documents to Enterprise Content Management systems based on document properties and attributes. ABBYY Recognition Server supports a variety of output formats and allows creating several output files at the same time.
MANAGEMENT AND ADMINISTRATION Administration Console for Easy Management ABBYY Recognition Server can be remotely administered via the Microsoft Management Console (MMC). All system settings, including workflows, licences and server log files, can be accessed in one place.
Automated and Scheduled Processing ABBYY Recognition Server processes documents automatically according to pre-defined sets of processing parameters (workflows), which include document input source, processing stages and output parameters. The application can handle different workflows simultaneously, following corresponding priorities. Particular workflows can run at specific times to take advantage of low-workload periods (i.e. night time).
Integration into Existing Systems To turn digital archives into fully searchable electronic document archives the application can crawl individual libraries, detect not searchable image-based documents and convert them into searchable formats. Documents such as Microsoft Word files, PowerPoint® presentations or Excel spreadsheets, which don’t require any processing, can be moved into the output library to the same position. This way any document library can be turned into fully searchable electronic library.
Multiple Output Formats
DOC XLS
Variety of formats, including searchable PDF and PDF/A (MRC-compressed), XML, RTF, Microsoft Office and others
ABBYY Recognition Server can be easily connected to external applications, such as digital archives or Enterprise Content Management systems via XML Tickets, COM-based API and Web Service API.
Scalability and Flexibility To increase processing speed a high-performance multi-core PC can be used as Processing Station or the workload can be distributed among several PCs within the network. The flexible and scalable architecture allows setting up systems which can easily process hundreds of pages per minute.

SME řešení od SAP využívá v současnosti stále více českých společností. V roce 2008 společnost SAP úspěšně dokončila akvizici společnosti Business Objects a díky rozšířenému portfoliu se brzy stala předním dodavatelem v oblasti business software, enterprise performance management a business inteligence. Společnost SAP považuje trvalou udržitelnost za klíčovou oblast všech business procesů napříč společností. Udržitelnost v tomto pojetí směřuje ke komplexnímu řízení ekonomických, sociálních a environmentálních rizik a příležitostí pro zvýšení krátkodobé i dlouhodobé ziskovosti. První zákazníci implementovali řešení postavené na technologii in-memory computing - SAP HANA, které umožňuje analyzovat data během několika vteřin namísto dnů, či dokonce týdnů. Zájem, který tento nový produkt vzbudil u zákazníků je srovnatelný s ohlasem SAP R/3 v době jeho spuštění. Díky akvizici společnosti Sybase v roce 2010 distribuje SAP a partnerské firmy řadu mobilních business aplikací, které otevřelo řešení SAP pro nové uživatele – ty, kteří trváví většinu pracovního času mimo kanceláře. Cílem společnosti SAP je pomáhat při zdokonalování řízení podniků všech velikostí. Při svém působení na českém trhu sází společnost SAP především na dlouhodobou spolupráci s kvalitními domácími a globálními partnery. Poskytováním poradenských služeb pro produkty a řešení se v České republice zabývá více než 500 poradců pracujících jednak ve společnosti SAP, jednak u partnerských firem.

Overview of SAP HANA Cloud Platform SERVICES
FEATURES
SAP HANA Cloud Platform is packed with features that let you rapidly build, deploy, and manage cloud-based enterprise applications that complement and extend your SAP or nonSAP solutions, either on premise or in the cloud. With flexible subscription models and optional services for apps, database, and infrastructure, it provides instant access to the full power of SAP HANA.
Enterprise Platform Built for Developers SAP HANA Cloud Platform is an open-standard, Eclipse-based, modular platform as a service. It is certified at the latest industry cloud standards and operated by SAP. The applications can run in SAP HANA directly or in the JAVA Runtime Environment.
SAP HANA Infrastructure Services is the way to quickly deploy and manage your pre-licensed SAP HANA instances without hardware investments and setup time. Available in configurations ranging from 128GB to 1TB, SAP’s infrastructure subscription is a scalable, affordable way to deploy your SAP HANA licenses in the cloud. SAP HANA DBServices is an easy, low cost way to be up and running with a fully supported SAP HANA system. With monthly subscriptions in configurations from 128GB to 1TB, SAP HANA DBServices delivers fast provisioning of SAP HANA and hardware, and includes a cloud management console for easy configuration and administration. This allows you to build realtime analytic applications using the development capabilities of SAP HANA. SAP HANA AppServices builds on the capabilities of SAP HANA DBServices, and allows you to build and deploy the real-time applications required to succeed in today’s alwayson, mobile, social and data-driven world. With comprehensive services for mobility, collaboration, security, systems management and more, SAP HANA AppServices is ideal for the creation of innovative, consumer grade applications, and for the extension of cloud and on-premise applications.
Standards Based To maximize development productivity, SAP HANA Cloud Platform leverages familiar open-source tools and frameworks. SAP HANA Cloud Platform currently supports Java EE 6 Web Profile and a subset of the Java 7 SE specification. Support for other runtime environments, open-source tools, and frameworks is expected to grow, offering developers their preferred technologies for building cloud-based applications. Native Integration with SAP and Non-SAP Software SAP HANA Cloud Platform facilitates secure integration with on-premise systems running software from SAP and other vendors. Using SAP HANA Cloud Platform services, such as the connectivity service, applications can establish secure point-to-point connections to SAP HANA, Applications built with SAP HANA Cloud Platform support representation state transfer (REST) services and Web services interfaces to enable integration with other cloud-based applications, such as those from SuccessFactors, an SAP company. This enables developers to build loosely coupled applications that extend the value of SAP or non-SAP enter-prise solutions, whether they are running on premise or in the cloud. In-Memory SAP HANA Cloud Platform includes the full power of the SAP HANA platform, taking full advantage of its real-time, inmemory computing technology and built-in analytics. As a service on SAP HANA Cloud Platform, SAP HANA is available to appli-cation developers without the worry of setting up or adminis-tering virtual database instances of SAP HANA.

This security is engineered to protect your mission-critical business data and assets and to provide the necessary industry-standard compliance certifications. This built-in protection extends from maintaining strong physical security of the data center to safeguarding the data and enabling full reliability of the service.

These certifications are renewed regularly to keep up with evolving security threats. Lightweight, Modular Runtime Container for Applications Applications developed on SAP HANA Cloud Platform run in a modular and lightweight runtime container (lean Java server) on a virtual machine. They typically consume services that are centrally provided and logically shared across the platform to reduce overhead and maximize performance. SAP HANA Cloud Platform provides a secure, scalable runtime environment with reusable platform services, such as the following: • Connectivity service that enables secure integration with on-premise systems running software from SAP and other vendors • Identity management service enabling single sign-on with third-party identity providers • Scalable document service for managing unstructured content
• Mail service for processing outbound e-mail from applications • SAP HANA Cloud Portal for mashing up OpenSocial gadgets from third-party providers with applications built on SAP HANA Cloud Platform BUSINESS BENEFITS With SAP HANA Cloud Platform, you can realize the full benefits of SAP HANA – fast.

Extend the Value of Existing Applications Whether your existing enterprise solutions are running on premise or in the cloud, whether they rely on data from SAP or non-SAP software, SAP HANA Cloud Platform provides con-nectivity based on the cloud connectivity service. As a result, the platform streamlines the integration of your new applica-tions at the lowest possible total cost of ownership. Increase Developer Productivity Support for open programming standards provides a low barrier to entry for developers, making them productive from the start in building enterprise applications that can integrate with any SAP or non-SAP solution.
