Forms Processing Solutions Get Smart

By Sarah Howland, Integrated Solutions magazine

Historically, forms processing solutions were designed to meet the document imaging and data capture needs of companies that handled not just large volumes of documents, but large volumes of documents with similar form or structure. The ‘magic' of forms processing in these companies was driven by static, template-based imaging software. While this software was a definite improvement over manual data entry, it left plenty of room for improvement. Today, forms processing solutions have escaped the narrow bounds of templates and continue to make strides in unstructured data capture.
