The Cloud computing module is part of document management system features and is useful for businesses of all sizes. Ease of access reduced costs, and a lesser need for storing data on the hardware makes cloud computing a hot trend. VectorViewer is an enterprise cloud document and e-form management start-up. Analytics Insight has engaged in an exclusive interview with Pradeep Padanthaya, Founder of VectorViewer.

1. Kindly brief us about the company, its specialization, and the services that your company offers

VectorViewer is an enterprise cloud document and e-form management start-up. We're helping companies speed up their digitization initiatives and efforts with our end-to-end HTML5 solution that offers easy document viewing, annotation, redaction, conversion, and storage. Our unique, multi-tenant software can be customized for different environments and fulfill the needs of all of your departments. Our e-form generator offers full integration with DocuSign and allows you to define complex workflows involving multi-parties signing at different stages of a document's lifecycle.

2. With what mission and objectives, the company was set up? In short, tell us about your journey since the inception of the company?

VectorViewer's mission was to offer Document Digitization as a Service for large enterprises so that the companies can focus on the core business and VectorViewer take control of all the electronic documents. We have been able to achieve this to a large extent and our clients today trust VectorViewer's software fully as a one-stop shop for all its document management use cases.

3. Mention some of the awards, achievements, recognitions, and clients' feedback that you feel are notable and valuable for the company.

VectorViewer was recognized for its ability to completely separate out the document digitization process into a separate microservice and at the same time easily integrate with any enterprise-grade software/application. This was a big achievement for an independent software company that started a few years back with the sole mission of offering Document Digitization As A Service.

4. Brief us about the proactive Founder/CEO of the company and his/her contributions towards the company and the industry.

VectorViewer's founder and CEO Pradeep Padanthaya along with co-founder Sannutha Addai come with a total of more than 30 years of experience in building enterprise applications. A major problem that we saw in enterprise products is the tedious process of handling document digitization. While there are companies who use an inhouse built solution to manage this, few others opt for independent vendors to handle it. Both these solutions have their own drawback – building an inhouse solution means you need to have a large technical team to maintain it and going for an independent vendor solution means that the software needs to be tightly coupled with the existing application, which brings in a lot of maintenance issues in the long term. We at VectorViewer thought about addressing this problem by providing Document Digitization as a Service model and ever since our clients have not looked back.

5. What is your biggest USP that differentiates the company from competitors?

The biggest USP of VectorViewer is that it provides an end-to-end solution for Document Digitization that includes document processing, document viewing, and document storage. Clients can choose to use our SaaS offering or go for an on-premise installation wherein the entire software suite is installed in a private cloud using a simple in-house built installation tool.

6. How do you see the company and the industry in the future ahead?

The document digitization process is a lengthy one especially in the enterprise world and there are still a majority of companies relying on the paper method for keeping all records. VectorViewer sees this as a big opportunity in the 21^st century and plans to disrupt this industry by providing a SaaS model for Document Digitization.

7. What are your growth plans for the next 12 months?

VectorViewer plans to expand its client base by investing a major chunk of its revenue in marketing in 2022. VectorViewer is also in talks with some big consulting companies and plans to get a few onboard as implementation partners.
