Document Challenges in Insurance Business: OCR Non-Searchable Documents in SharePoint
In the fast-paced insurance world, getting accurate information quickly is crucial. Imagine a situation where important documents, making up 22% of your files, are hard to find – not visible and unsearchable, making daily tasks more complicated. This is the story of an insurance company facing challenges with non-searchable documents in SharePoint.
Unlocking Critical Business Data in Non-Searchable Documents with OCR
In our story, there’s an insurance company using SharePoint for documents. They didn’t know that a big part of their files, including scanned PDFs, images, and faxes, couldn’t be found in searches. This hidden info caused lots of problems and mistakes.
How Non-Searchable Documents Lead to Errors
Inaccurate Decision-Making
The team struggled with ongoing mistakes in decision-making. Only 78% of their documents showed up in search results, hiding important information. Because they didn’t know about the missing data, decisions were based on old or incomplete info, leading to costly errors.
Redundant Work and Lost Resources
Not being able to find existing documents led to extra work and wasted resources. Employees, unaware of the files already in place, ended up doing the same work again, causing delays and inefficiencies in their tasks.
Compliance Risks and Legal Dilemmas
In the insurance sector, compliance is non-negotiable. The non-searchable documents posed a substantial risk, potentially leading to compliance issues and legal quandaries. Important contracts and legal papers often got missed in the large amount of data.
Customer Service Setbacks
Customer service reps struggled to give quick and accurate info to clients, impacting the company’s reputation. Important documents hidden in the non-searchable area made it difficult to respond promptly to customer questions.
Addressing Challenges in Remote Work: Using OCR for Better Access
In the changing world of insurance, where more people work from home, some employees face problems. They use small devices to scan documents, making PDFs without searchable text. This adds to the issue of documents that can’t be searched in SharePoint, keeping important information locked away. To adapt to the new way of working, it’s crucial to solve the problems faced by employees scanning documents at home. Using a helpful OCR solution like Searchlight OCR not only makes all documents accessible but also fits the needs of a workforce working in different and faraway places.
