Success stories demonstrating how our advanced OCR solutions unlock centuries of knowledge and transform digital accessibility for leading institutions.
Belgian Senate
Parliamentary Institution • Government Archives
The Challenge
The Belgian Senate possessed 164 years of invaluable parliamentary history (1831-1995) locked in physical documents. These historical records contained crucial legislative debates, policy decisions, and political discussions in both French and Dutch, but were completely inaccessible to researchers and the public. Traditional digitization methods failed due to complex multilingual layouts, faded texts, and inconsistent document formats spanning over a century.
Our Solution
EasyData implemented a revolutionary multi-engine OCR approach combining ABBYY FineReader, Azure AI Document Intelligence, and proprietary algorithms specifically tuned for historical parliamentary documents. Our team developed custom language models for 19th-century French and Dutch, implemented intelligent layout analysis for complex table structures, and created automated quality validation workflows using our EasyVerify platform.
EasyData transformed our 164-year parliamentary archive into a fully searchable digital resource. Their multi-engine OCR approach achieved remarkable accuracy on historical French-Dutch documents, making our legislative heritage accessible to researchers worldwide for the first time.
National Security Archive
Government Agency • Classified Document Processing
The Challenge
A government security agency required digitization of classified historical documents from the Cold War era. The documents contained sensitive information that could never leave secure facilities, ruling out cloud-based OCR services. The collection included typed reports, handwritten notes, technical drawings, and documents in foreign languages. Security protocols required complete data sovereignty while maintaining enterprise-level processing speed and accuracy.
Our Solution
EasyData implemented our groundbreaking decoupled container solution, deploying enterprise-grade OCR infrastructure entirely within the agency’s secure network. Our solution combined ABBYY FineReader Server, custom AI models, and specialized recognition algorithms for technical drawings. Real-time processing dashboards provided complete visibility while maintaining the highest security standards.
Security is paramount for our historical document digitization. EasyData’s decoupled container solution provided enterprise-grade OCR while maintaining data sovereignty. Their technical expertise and security understanding matched our requirements.
