(1888PressRelease) December 01, 2012 - ABBYY Brings Paperless Innovations to South America's Businesses

Today almost every business in South America suffers from constantly multiplying paper workflow, which slows down and complicates crucial business processes. Different companies have been trying to develop solutions aimed to solve the problem of switching over the companies onto e-workflow for a long time.

Among the few companies who succeeded in the creation of these solutions, ABBYY occupies a very special position, being not only a vendor and seller of its own products, but having its own research and development centre, which is invested by over 25% of the company's annual revenue. Thus the company creates highly intelligent, flexible and customizable OCR products and solutions applicable to various scenarios. Many private companies and government organizations in South America have already implemented successful projects based on ABBYY software.

Data capture (OCR/ICR) from various documents (election forms, examination tests, IDs, driving licenses, healthcare cards, number plates etc):

Governments of Chile and Colombia started to use ABBYY technologies to process voting papers during Presidential and Regional elections. "We have successfully coped with all designated processes and services meeting the stipulated time frames" - Sergio Muñoz, Minister of the Supreme Court and President of TRICEL, talking about the Presidential Elections 2009-10 in Chile.

National Educational Tests in Chile and Proficiency Level in School Subjects of Brazilian Students were verified with the help of ABBYY solutions. «One cannot survive in the scholastic testing sector without an efficient and accurate image processing. And ABBYY certainly offers the best solutions» - Mr. Fernando Botelho, Leading Researcher at A Fundação Instituto de Pesquisas Econômicas shared his impression about cooperation with ABBYY.

Invoice processing and processing of other financial documents:

Different companies in Argentina, namely distributor of sportswear Dabra SA, pharmaceutical company Merck Química, and security service company Prosegur SA, with the help of Argontech - ABBYY local partner - implemented automatic processing of invoices, bills, tax forms and other accounting documents using data capture technologies by ABBYY.

Carlyle Macedo, Technical Director at NT Imagem, commented the case - "In summary, we are extremely happy with our partnership with ABBYY and hope to continue to deliver outstanding solutions to our customers based on their technology."

Mobile recognition:

Brazilian NNSolutions partnered with ABBYY to develop mobile reading solution for visually impaired people. "The OCR software for mobile phones … would greatly assist all blind or visually impaired people in Brazil, including those who are temporarily unable to read." - Leonardo Gleison, visually impaired, contributor and consultant of Laramara, Brazilian Association for Assistance to the Visually Impaired.
