UMass Amherst’s Interlibrary Loan unit has successfully adopted Foxit PDF Compressor to streamline their Optical Character Recognition (OCR) document processing, significantly enhancing their operational efficiency. In a fast-paced academic environment where timely access to information is crucial, the need for an efficient document processing system became increasingly apparent. With the integration of Foxit PDF Compressor, the unit has achieved remarkable improvements in their workflow.
One of the most significant benefits of implementing Foxit PDF Compressor is the reduction in processing time, which has been cut by a third. This efficiency gain is particularly impressive as the software allows OCR tasks to run in the background, freeing staff from the need to constantly monitor the system. This shift not only optimizes their workflow but also empowers employees to focus on more critical tasks that require their attention and expertise, ultimately leading to a more productive work environment. The time saved has also contributed positively to employee morale, as team members can now engage in more meaningful work rather than being bogged down by repetitive monitoring duties.
Furthermore, the software’s ability to automatically correct page orientation has greatly enhanced the quality of the documents being shared among libraries and patrons. High-quality documents are essential in ensuring that users receive accurate information without confusion, thereby maintaining the standards of resource-sharing that UMass Amherst strives to uphold. This enhancement has been particularly beneficial during the pandemic, when many institutions experienced a surge in demand for digital resources and remote access.
Overall, the implementation of Foxit PDF Compressor has saved the Interlibrary Loan unit hundreds of hours, allowing them to reallocate their resources effectively while maintaining a high standard of service. As they continue to navigate the challenges posed by an evolving educational landscape, UMass Amherst’s Interlibrary Loan unit remains committed to leveraging innovative solutions like Foxit to enhance their efficiency and improve the overall experience for their users.
