All related documents are grouped together for determining their logical boundaries and then coded with separate fields like author, recipient, type and date of the document etc. ensuring their quick retrieval.
The scanned documents in TIFF formats are converted to the desirable formats i.e. MS Word, TXT, RTF etc through specialized optical character recognition (OCR) or intelligent character recognition (ICR).
