Data Extraction

SDB uses the most advanced and trusted document and character recognition capabilities in the market to turn documents into machine-readable information. From the digitised images, SDB is able to capture data that is “embedded” in them, i.e. words in the images. With Optical Character Recognition (OCR), Intelligent Character Recognition (ICR), Intelligent Document Recognition (IDR), adaptive reading, and other technologies, these data can be interpreted. At the end of the day, manual keying and paper handling is reduced, accelerating business processing, improving data quality, and saving your money.

Extract and Store Data with Document Capture Software

At SDB, we use the most advanced tools available to capture, extract, classify and store information from paper documents and other types of content, including faxes, email with attached documents, images, business forms, and complex multipart documents.

Also, we are able to efficiently digitise documents, forms, and faxes from sources such as high-end scanning devices, Multi-Function Peripherals (MFPs), file system folders, email servers, Microsoft® SharePoint® servers, and FTP sites.

First, documents have to be identified and classified according to the document types, such as invoices, insurance claims, order entries, application forms, customer feedback forms, or other defined document types. Useful information and business data is then extracted from the digital image using OCR, ICR, and IDR. You can then store and share the information in your ideal format and location, including your DCM, ECM, ERP or a Microsoft SharePoint environment.
