When it comes to working with documents, performance and speed matter.
Think about how much time you spend waiting for a page to load or an application to open. All of that waiting adds up and reduces productivity. This has been compounded as the size of documents grows and as many document repositories move to the cloud.
Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) transformed the industry by automatically classifying documents and extracting data from them. This automated many tasks by making structured and consistent data available without any user interaction. The side effect is documents that do need to be accessed end up being the ones that are larger and more unstructured. These are the documents that require a person with expertise to dig through and extract valuable information buried within the document.
How can we make finding valuable information easier?
The first step is getting a document to a user faster. This is where the Pyramid Solutions Lightweight Viewer comes into play. It loads documents 40% faster than out-of-the-box viewers for repositories, our viewer quickly allows you to interact with the document. The Pyramid Lightweight Viewer was built with performance in mind. It uses a browser to cache documents so there is no persistent chatter with a server once the document is open.
Users can view common document types and images, including Microsoft Office documents that can often be a challenge for some viewers.
Quick access to a document is only part of the equation though. Once the document is open, there is still the challenge of finding what you are looking 
for within the document. This is where bookmarks come into play. Bookmarks are exactly what they sound like: markers of key information that can be quickly accessed. Bookmarks can be categorized and commented so users can quickly identify the bookmarks that are important to them.
Users can also search bookmarks outside of the document so they can identify which documents might be of interest to them without even having to open the document. For example…. and when they do to get directly to that part of the document. As outlined in our blog “Bookmarks: The New Annotations” you can read about how bookmarks are more effective and efficient than annotations.
