Designed a ViewStar Script application, which provided an easy to use utility which
extracted tens of thousands of documents and associated data structures from the
ViewStar optical archives (jukebox), into such format that would suit importing into
the newly installed Vantive software system.

specialised training at the Input Software offices in San Jose California and in December 1999.
I discovered the "ins and outs" of the OCR software at
