PDF Tools AG - Customer testimonial - success story
German insurance company automates email archiving for claims management
Application requirements
The client had previously either printed out and then scanned emails and their attachments worthy of archiving or processed them as faxes for archiving in TIFF format. However, the process did not guarantee that every email and every attachment found its way into the archive.
The new solution should enable claims handlers to induce the import process for personal email considered worthy of archiving, thereby triggering the archiving process. The challenge lay in developing an automated archiving process for the many millions of emails per year. The choice fell on the solution from PDF Tools AG due to the high throughput rate, stability and reliability of its 3-Heights® Document Converter Service.
Customer benefits
Implementation
The emails to be archived are imported using Interact Consulting’s importer module and then converted to a standardized PDF format by the 3-Heights® Document Converter Service. Image formats are archived in TIFF format as before.
Metadata attributes are assigned to each email to enable case allocation. The data is then processed by the appropriate modules of Interact Consulting’s CaptureSuite software and exported to the archive using EMC Captiva InputAccel.
