In the healthcare sector, dependable and trustworthy communication between health insurance organizations and their policyholders is everything. E-mail, of course, plays a key role in all of this. The daily flood of incoming mails and the many statutory requirements for compliance, security, and archiving pose an enormous challenge for IT departments and administrative staff alike. A system of professional e-mail management can support health insurance providers in mastering these challenges. This is why the health insurance company Techniker Krankenkasse (better known throughout Germany by its initials TK) decided to optimize its communications processes and automate its workflows. Now, and with the help of highly functional software, e-mails and their attachments are correctly and reliably converted to PDF/A files. This also ensures that documents can be archived in a manner that is fast, consistent and legally compliant.

Many companies use SAP software to manage their documents. In this way, it is possible to create efficient structures even with large amounts of data. However, if it is necessary to archive the files for a long time, some problems may occur. webPDF offers a conversion software that also offers a suitable solution for this area. This makes it possible to store all files according to the PDF/A standard.

When the ticket is faster than the speeder.​

Radar and cameras catch German motorists speeding about three million times a year. The Fines & Citations Office of the city of Leverkusen deals with speeding offenses every day. Most of these violations occur on the bridge that crosses the River Rhine along the A1 autobahn. Here the posted speed limit is only 60 km/h, since any faster traffic would cause too much vibration to this decaying bridge, which is generally closed for vehicles weighing more than 3.5 tons. A tremendous bureaucratic effort is required from the time the system records the violation to when offenders receive notification from the Fines & Citations Office. Because converting documents to PDF/A format plays such an important role in this process, the city of Leverkusen is not only using an SAP-based digital case file system, but a tool that enables such conversions to be done fully automatically.
