why you need this service
Simply put - once your organization uses the 10 GB of space allotted by OpenAir, you'll have to either archive older attachments and documents or buy more space. The archival process can be a challenge, particularly if those files are needed (for audit purposes, for example), and buying more space can get expensive.
The Attachment Reduction Service provided by Addolution will find every image and PDF file stored in OpenAir, compress it to a fraction if its current size, and replace it in OpenAir, ensuring it is still attached to the same record as the original. The clarity and readability of the image remains intact, and your organization can store many more files within OpenAir without hitting the limit.
real world results
We processed a random sample of 50 image files from an OpenAir instance and processed them through the ARS. The results were impressive:
- Every file's size was reduced by a minimum of 62%
- Some files were reduced by as much as 97%
- The average reduction was 75%
At a reduction of 75%, your organization can store 4x as many image attachments in OpenAir.
