This flexibility and power make DocumentFactory the go-to solution for companies that require seamless document transformation at scale. 

What DocumentFactory Does 

DocumentFactory automates the transformation of documents, streamlining workflows and reducing manual effort. It includes a wide range of document transformation features: 

1. Convert: Process hundreds of different file types and convert them into the formats your business needs. 
2. Merge: Combine multiple files into a single document for ease of management and distribution. 
3. Compress: Reduce the size of files, minimizing storage needs without losing critical information. 
4. OCR: Apply Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to files, making text within images searchable and more accessible. 
5. Watermark: Add watermarks to your files for security, branding, or identification purposes. 
6. Transform Simultaneously: Perform any or all of these actions simultaneously to create efficient document workflows. 

DocumentFactory’s ability to combine these actions provides a comprehensive document solution, whether you need to prepare documents for sharing, compress them for storage, or make them searchable for long-term archiving. 

Does DocumentFactory require OpenText? 

Short answer: No. 

While DocumentFactory works well within OpenText environments, it doesn’t require OpenText to function. It’s a standalone solution that can integrate into various ecosystems, making it a versatile choice for companies using other platforms or leading applications. Below are some examples for using DocumentFactory outside the OpenText ecosystem. 

Non-OpenText Use Cases 

1. SAP Integration for Document Handling: A common scenario for businesses using SAP is handling large quantities of TIFF files. With DocumentFactory, you can convert .tiff files generated by SAP into PDFs, merge multiple files into a single PDF, and optimize them for storage and distribution. All of this is accomplished with a simple document workflow while reducing the manual effort required to manage these files. 
   
2. Image Conversion, Compression, and OCR on File Shares: DocumentFactory can take a collection of image files, convert them to PDFs, compress them to reduce storage requirements, apply OCR to make the images searchable, and merge them into a single PDF. This is ideal for businesses needing to archive or share image-heavy documents while ensuring they are easily searchable and use less storage space. 
3. Prepping Documents for SharePoint:  
   For organizations using SharePoint, DocumentFactory converts, compresses, and optimizes files before SharePoint ingests the files. By transforming documents into smaller, easily shareable PDF files, DocumentFactory reduces the load on SharePoint and helps ensure smoother migration and digital backfile conversions.
   

Conclusion 

DocumentFactory simplifies document transformation for businesses with high volumes of digital files. Whether converting, merging, compressing, or applying OCR, DocumentFactory automates document workflows and integrates seamlessly with various platforms—without needing OpenText. It’s a versatile, powerful tool for companies looking to optimize their document management processes, improve efficiency, and save valuable storage space.
