Intelligent document processing (IDP) — frequently asked questions
How does intelligent document processing work?
Intelligent document processing applies AI and machine learning techniques to enable technology to read and process content in documents like a human. While incoming business data arrives from a variety of sources—email and attachments, digital documents (e.g., PDFs), faxes, paper scan images, etc.—IDP provides a time-saving, error-reducing method to ensure that the data from those document sources (structured, semi-structured, and unstructured) is automatically processed quickly and accurately.
Is intelligent document processing the same thing as OCR?
No. While IDP does incorporate OCR, its capabilities are broader. IDP extends optical character recognition (OCR) and data capture technology to incorporate “intelligence” using machine learning, NLP, and other advance technologies, which adds more expert skill and decision-making to the processing of content.
Is intelligent document processing RPA (robotic process automation)?
No, IDP is not RPA. While RPA can automate repetitive tasks within defined business processes that run on data, RPA does not have the skills needed to understand content in context, and make skilled decisions. RPA can be augmented with Intelligent Document Processing such as ABBYY Vantage to acquire the skills needed to intelligently process document content. Learn more here.
Is intelligent document processing a new technology?
The foundation of IDP, which is OCR, has been around for decades. But IDP today is much more than that. Legacy capture solutions rely on simple character recognition, templates, rules-based document processing, and basic data extraction and validation capabilities. With the addition of machine learning and natural language processing (NLP) delivered as pre-trained document “skill” models, modern IDP offers AI-driven, skilled reading and extraction of document data, with the ability to make decisions about what documents mean in the process, in the moment. Modern IDP more closely reflects the way humans process documents.
Where can IDP be applied?
Businesses across industries have successfully implemented intelligent document processing for content-centric processes, including Financial Services, Insurance, Transportation and Logistics, Supply Chain, Healthcare, and other sectors. The best way to ensure success with an IDP implementation is to begin with process mining. This helps you first understand your processes and the way content enables them, helping you determine where document automation can have the greatest impact.
How can I get started with intelligent document processing?
With ABBYY Vantage, IDP is readily available and accessible to the business user or citizen developer. Vantage is the industry’s first low-code/no-code IDP platform that offers pre-built “document skills” that can immediately start understanding your business documents with basically no deployment time. Simply visit the ABBYY Marketplace, select the document skill that you need, and get started with intelligent document processing.
What are the benefits of intelligent document processing?
IDP captures and processes document data at far greater speeds and higher levels of accuracy than humans can achieve. Businesses can avoid the high cost and high error risk of manual data extraction while freeing employees to focus on more strategic tasks. IDP “bots” automatically create a digital trail and logs to increase transparency and streamline compliance management. Customer experiences benefit from greater efficiency in document-driven processes such as onboarding and account opening. IDP is also scalable according to the business’ specific needs, whether it handles 100 documents per day or thousands per minute.
What are the benefits of combining IDP with automation tools?
Robotic process automation (RPA) platforms and other automation tools run on data, and IDP delivers that data by extracting it from documents such as invoices, purchase orders, applications, etc. The benefits of combining these two technologies include:
- Reduced costs and increased efficiency from automating manual document-driven tasks
- Improved accuracy from reduced manual data entry and the associated error risk
- Improved customer satisfaction from shortened turnaround times on customer-focused tasks such as insurance claims processing
How does Vantage architecture make it interoperable with business systems?
- ABBYY Vantage is an integral part of enterprise business processes: Add Vantage skills to business processes to deliver data insights from documents directly into enterprise systems such as BPM, RPA, ERP, ECM, chatbots, and more.
- ABBYY Vantage integrates within specialized enterprise software applications: Integrate trained Vantage skills for specialized use cases like order-to-cash, claims processing, or customer onboarding to intelligently identify documents and extract data.
- ABBYY Vantage connects with intelligent automation systems: Connect trained Vantage skills easily with RPA, BPM, and other automation platforms to automatically classify documents, extract data, and return the results to the digital worker or workflow process.
