DATAssimilate Systems Inc. was established in the mid '90s and although there were several OCR, imaging, coding, and document management packages available on the market, no single company provided an acceptable solution to a growing Service Bureau with a primary goal of providing the best work possible in the least amount of time. There were a variety of products to choose from, each capable of performing certain functions, yet all required batch processing and/or moving from one product to another just to perform the desired tasks. Not only were these cumbersome exercises, but the cost to purchase a variety of software programs with the appropriate number of licenses was high. Even with the diversity of programs available, there still were certain operations that these packages could not perform. Further, due to their inherent complexities, most demanded the involvement of an engineer or a programmer to run the software.

Thus was the beginnings of DATAssimilator- the creation of a single complete production software package that was a combination of all components: scanning, coding, OCR, document management and more.  With specialized tools and capabilities to simplify processes and overcome batching while providing real time functionality. Now, an extensive assortment of functions could be easily performed within one program and no longer would the production shop need to wait until one process was completed before they could begin the next.

Another major breakthrough was the user interface. Prior to DATAssimilator's arrival there was, and still is, a lack of experienced operators. Coupled with this was the excessive cost and extensive time necessary to train the users before they became familiar with the existing packages. Hence, DATAssimilate Systems Inc. identified a need to build a product with more inherent intelligence providing the operators with a simple user interface. That way new users would become productive and profitable to the operation in a very short time period.

These goals were realized with the launch of DATAssimilator in 1999. Not only was the package robust enough for Service Bureau level production but it also was so easy to use that it made a perfect tool for use in law firms and corporate document departments. It provided more tools than those necessary for any document capture requirement.

Today DATAssimilate Systems Inc. continues to be a leading developer of highly intelligent software tools for the scanning, coding,  management, processing and distribution of data for the legal and corporate vertical, providing capabilities and functionalities that are coveted by its competitors.
