Information Access Solutions

ZyLAB Product Overview

ZyLAB has an industry leading systems that enables archive, search, find, organize, share, and reproduce documents with unparalleled ease of use.

The key to being able to share and reuse knowledge starts with the ability to easily access all documents. With ZyLAB's archiving systems, users can access huge amounts of paper and over 370 different electronic file formats, each enabled with advanced full-text search capabilities. Users can also easily and inexpensively restructure data so that it can be shared across all forms of electronic delivery media such as LAN/WAN networks, the Internet, an intranet, or CD-ROMs.

An important benefit of ZyLAB's systems is that they are easy to use and maintain, in large part because they are supported by ZyLAB's unique One-Click paper archiving (for digital copiers) and fully automatic indexing (for electronic files on file servers and local hard disks). In addition, the unparalleled quality of our full-text, keyfield, and folder searching functions allow users to find documents faster than with any other comparable system. The sharing and reproduction of document collections is now easier than ever with ZyLAB's integrated e-mail, Web server, and high-speed bundle printing functionality.

Because ZyLAB's archiving systems make archiving, searching, finding, organizing, sharing and reproducing documents so simple, users no longer have to administer and maintain extensive personal archives. With all of their vital information now stored on a central data repository, users can refocus their time away from inefficient, paper-based administrative tasks to the actual timely sharing and reuse of information.

Defining the evolution of retrieval technology

With the introduction of ZyINDEX, the first full-text retrieval software for the personal computer. ZyLAB has focused on developing scalable document-management solutions for all types of office environments, from those working on single, standalone workstations to those built on networked production-oriented systems. Today, ZyLAB manufactures a complete line of software that automates document scanning, indexing, imaging and full-text retrieval, CD-ROM publishing, and document sharing through the Internet or the company intranet. ZyLAB's products are fully compatible with all leading hardware and software programs.

One of the primary components of ZyLABs industry-standard document indexing and full-text retrieval technology is its fuzzy search technology, which, when developed in 1991, revolutionized the nature of document retrieval. Because fuzzy-search technology responds to conditions that are imprecise and unpredictable, a user does not need to worry about post-editing OCR output. Therefore, users can locate information even when they are unsure about correct spelling or the exact thing they're looking for. Fuzzy search is essential for quick, accurate, and cost effective high-volume document conversions.

Recently, ZyLAB has introduced WYHIWYG, What You Had Is What You Get. With ZyLAB's new image-centric approach, users can skip the OCR text and display the search results directly on the scanned images. The underlying ASCII text can still be accessed as a second option for word processor usage.

ZyLAB has over 500,000 licensed users worldwide. Major clients include law enforcement and government agencies, legal organizations, knowledge management and research laboratories, news paper clipping agencies, business intelligence, marketing, corporate strategy, and documentation departments.
