Amtrak’s Office of the Inspector General chooses ZyLAB to support the storage and processing of its information 

Current processing to exceed 50,000 pages of information plus over 45 GB of electronic information 

ZyLAB North America LLC, a leading provider of advanced document management and full-text retrieval software, announces that it has been selected to assist Amtrak’s Office of the Inspector General in the processing of its extensive auditing and case files.

The Amtrak Office of the Inspector General (OIG) is the congressionally appointed federal oversight commission that investigates any allegations of fraud, waste, and abuse at Amtrak, as well as monitoring and providing input about their business practices. Because the work done by Amtrak’s OIG is so comprehensive and interrelated—not to mention highly scrutinized due to being a federally funded entity—it required a precise, intuitive, and reliable record management and information storage and retrieval solution. Due to budgetary constraints, the information storage and retrieval solution purchased by Amtrak’s OIG must be flexible, scaleable and compatible with whatever infrastructure is currently in place.

The ZyIMAGE Webserver was selected by Amtrak’s OIG as its preferred tool suite. Based on several current investigations, Amtrak’s OIG will be storing over 50,000 pages of paper documents, over 40GB of electronic documents and approximately 5GB of email (.pst) files. Any information or combination of information, in any format, can be searched for and retrieved quickly. Furthermore, ZyIMAGE enables the Amtrak OIG to organize and download all case information onto a CD that can be created and distributed in nearly no time to all interested parties, regardless of their location. 

ZyIMAGE’s award winning and powerful search engine allows these immense data collections to be searched by using unique keywords or combinations of words, similar to an Internet search engine. In addition, the data of Amtrak’s OIG can now be annotated, indexed or marked for later use.
