OCR & Document Management for EU Institutions

Enterprise document management and OCR digitisation systems for major EU institutions — the European Commission, the European Parliament, and the Court of Justice of the European Union. Large-scale, multilingual, high-reliability document processing with strict requirements around accuracy, auditability, and workflow traceability.

What was built

OCR Digitisation Pipeline Automated OCR processing of large document volumes across multiple languages — converting scanned documents into searchable, structured digital records. The pipeline handled pre-processing, OCR execution, post-processing correction, and quality validation.

Document Management System DMS solutions integrating with institutional workflows — document ingestion, classification, metadata extraction, version control, access control, and archiving. XML-based document models enabling structured interchange between systems.

Workflow Automation Automated routing of documents through review, approval, translation, and publication workflows. Rule-based routing logic handling the complex organisational structures of large EU institutions.

Integration Layer Integration between OCR output, DMS, and downstream institutional systems — Oracle and MSSQL backends, Java middleware, and Visual Basic client components for end-user access.

Technical highlights

  • Java for middleware and workflow engine components
  • C++ for performance-critical OCR processing stages
  • Visual Basic for end-user client applications
  • XML for document interchange and metadata
  • Oracle and MSSQL for document and metadata storage
  • OCR and DMS specialist systems integration
