IDP Helps Businesses That Process High Volumes of Documents

IDP, or Intelligent Document Processing, can be leveraged by many businesses and organizations to streamline their processes to be more efficient. Companies today operate in an information-based economy. Data, information, and knowledge are some of the most important resources they possess. Documents are the life blood of many, if not most, of today’s organizations. And because of this, many businesses need IDP. The quick, accurate, and efficient processing of documents is critical for a company’s well-being. Our customers in the United States are increasingly seeking Valenta for Intelligent Document Processing implementation and Intelligent Document Processing consulting.

Why Use Intelligent Document Processing

Intelligent Document Processing uses artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to extract data and information from various types of documents such as invoices, receipts, contracts, reports, and other forms. IDP can help companies streamline business processes related to all these documents. IDP deployed with RPA is often referred to as Hyper Automation. In combination with RPA, Intelligent Document Processing can be a crucial component of an automation and digital transformation strategy. IDP saves time, reduces errors, and improves productivity, and it is crucial for most automation. Many of Valenta’s US clients leverage IDP to automate repetitive and time-consuming tasks, such as data entry and document sorting. They also implement Intelligent Document Processing to make better-informed decisions based on accurate and relevant data.

Where Intelligent Document Processing Makes Sense

More and more businesses need the ability to process large volumes of data quickly and accurately. It is especially important for companies that deal with a high volume of documents. Banks, insurance companies, other financial services, and healthcare providers are good examples. All can benefit from IDP. Manufacturers, communications companies, retailers, and supply and logistics companies often have needs as well. Intelligent Document Processing can help all these organizations automate the extraction of data from documents and reduce the time, money, and effort required for data entry.

Intelligent Document Processing Advantages

Saving time and money are not the only advantages of Intelligent Document Processing. IDP also reduces the risk of errors. Intelligent Document Processing applications are highly accurate and can identify and extract data with a high degree of precision. IDP software always does things the same way and it can operate around the clock. IDP also helps with Business Intelligence or BI and business analytics. By extracting relevant data from documents, our customers in the US gain smart insights into their business processes. They are able to identify trends, patterns, opportunities, and threats. IDP helps them make informed decisions based on accurate and up-to-date information.

Intelligent Document Processing Uses

Companies can use Intelligent Document Processing in various ways. Time consuming invoice processing is often a way our US clients deploy IDP. Handling purchase orders can also be automated combining IDP with RPA. Contract management is yet another area where automation can help. IDP can be used to extract relevant data from contracts, such as the parties involved, terms, and payment schedules. Any kind of customer database management or entry can also benefit from IDP. Healthcare data management in particular can take advantage of IDP due to the high volume of information to be processed.

Strategy

Work with Valenta to define your Automation Strategy. Most Companies have started using IDP but struggle to derive value from this solution and that’s primarily due to the lack of understanding of how the technology works and having unrealistic expectations.

Digital-Transformation

IDP

Intelligent Document Processing or IDP is AI-powered technology that combines Optical Character Recognition (OCR), Computer Vision, Natural Language Processing and Machine Learning. IDP is a solution that scans, reads, extracts, categorizes, and organizes various document types such as papers, PDFs, Word Docs, Spreadsheets etc.
