Each year, globally, there are millions of forms filled out and in need of processing, from segments of market and industry. Most of the forms processing service is provided by data entry service providers. To remain competitive, service providers must stay current in the area of data capture /forms processing solutions Data entry operators working in well-established systems are equipped to handle high volume image and paper-based data entry in any format, database design and management, SGML/HTML coding for the Internet and a host of other related services Globally there is need for software which is workflow based, uses the latest technology and can be a tool for productivity increase and better management.Data centers need to upgrade their existing image assisted data capture software to derive specific benefits with respect to quick and cost effective pilot jobs turnaround with out spending any additional software efforts and very quick setup for any image and form assisted data entry jobs for release to production.

These days, you’d be hard-pressed to find a company that doesn’t use imaging and data recognition technology for structured forms.The tools, largely packaged, have enabled companies to gain a measure of control over straightforward data capture functions.But to date, far fewer companies have applied technology to costly – and often less manageable – unstructured documents. A growing number of firms, however, are starting to view unstructured document processing as critical to the success of enterprise information management Likewise, new document processing solutions are regularly coming to market.The push to automate the processing of documents – whether they are structured forms or unstructured documents such as invoices can’t hurt.Enterprise information management strategies are top of mind for CIOs looking to gain a competitive edge for their companies in the years to come.

According to an Accenture survey from last year, 75 percent of CIOs surveyed expect to have an information management strategy in place within three years. Integrating all types of data is a goal for most companies. While only 38 percent of respondents say they are partially integrated now, 75 percent list integration as their target. Finding good ways to automate the capture of information from many different documents will be essential for these CIOs looking to reap the benefits of highly managed information. Despite the hype about business going paperless, companies are inundated with documents.People increasingly need more information available to them in order to do their jobs; and it all starts with unlocking the information on incoming remittances and full-sized documents.Bringing information together in this way improves access to high-quality information for decision-making, enables revenue enhancement opportunities, and reduces costs. It can also provide companies with the insight they need to enter new markets or develop new products.

While every organization can benefit from automated forms processing, no one solution fits all. That’s why we think there’s no better time to get started on automating document processing; the future success of  any company may depend on its ability to improve information capture. Many organizations have offices scattered across the country or around the world. A software solution that can remotely scan documents and/or validate data for distribution to a central office via the  Internet can reduce labor costs, eliminate shipping costs and greatly improve processing time. Processing float time and the occurrence of lost documents can also be minimizedBoth structured and unstructured forms can be found in a single enterprise. No business receives one form type and not the other, so look for a single robust software solution that can easily automate the classification and data capture of both.

What businesses across the globe look forward to  now is:

Imaging & Workflow Automation solution to Improve Business Processes

Efficient document management and data capture Automation

Integrated and easy to use DATA CAPTURE AND OCR TOOL common to all Data input types and output formats

A sample research study of 198 end users found that 54% of organizations manually re-key some of the content they receive from customers, suppliers, and partners.

While 61% scan a proportion of their incoming documents, 34% make no further attempt to automatically recognize text as data. 

This is a wasted opportunity to reduce transaction processing costs.
