Unlocking Insights with Document Intelligence

The world is full of documents that are as varied as the processes and organizations that generate them. Even in today’s digital-first era, many transactions still depend on paper documents such as invoices, contracts, legal documents, employee records, financial statements, and more. Scanning hard-copy documents is a common practice for organizations looking to digitize their paper records, make them searchable and secure, and extract their value. Unless the data is accurately extracted and intelligently utilized, the potential to make better data-informed decisions, automate manual processes, and bring new, more personalized, products to market remains unrealized.

Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are helping to extract this valuable data. Optical character recognition (OCR) technology recognizes the text in scanned documents, and machine learning models identify and extract relevant data such as dates, addresses, names and financial data. Natural language processing (NLP) algorithms classify the sentiment of text or identify named entities within it.

However, current document processing solutions that implement these technologies require extensive set up and oversight to yield accurate and actionable extracted data. They work well for documents that fit a specific form or template, but the world isn't built that way. Most documents are random, unorganized, or even incomplete. Fields can vary from document to document.

That’s where we come in.
