Document Repositry Assistant (DRA)
What is DRA?
EzeScan’s Document Repository Analyser (DRA) is a powerful component of the EzeScan WebApp suite, purpose-built to streamline the identification and ingestion of documents into your intelligent processing workflows. DRA can be configured to crawl network file shares, email servers, and supported EDRMS platforms, automatically locating and cataloguing documents. It compiles a detailed inventory of files, capturing essential metadata such as repository name, file name, location, creation date, and processing status.
When integrated with EzeScan’s Remote Indexing Assistant (RIA), DRA becomes part of a robust, end-to-end intelligent document processing solution - empowering your organisation to automate, analyse, and act on documents with confidence.
