10:30 AM FIRESIDE CHAT: Beyond Paperless: Document Capture and Data Management for Fully Digitized Services

Document extraction and predictive analytics emerged as key investment priorities of automation leaders as reported by SSON Analytics. While Optical Character Recognition (OCR) has often been prized for its ability to digitize PDFs, its far-from-seamless integration into data systems means it lacks the intelligence to carry digitization beyond a single task. This session will look at how true paperless capabilities require more than an OCR tool, including:

  • How content reading tools fit into scaled automation 
  • How content reading can enable to the automation of new processes
