AMSI – Case Study
Requirements:
Key Leverage: Benefits:
Word to XML
Automation Tool
Automate our valuable customers existing process of converting the manual instruction from word to XML for
arborator text environment by segregating the instructions to content, task, image linking etc.…
 Extremely customizable to suit the XML style sheets
 Automatically segregates and creates individual XML files
 Creates Image libraries for image referencing in XML
 Runs on system kernel memory. No installation required
 Drastic improvement in productivity (Converts the
document in to XML with in 3 to 4 mins)
 Conversion accuracy was about 85%
 Savings was about 70% USD, by involving only 2 headcounts
for Q&V
