Extracting and classifying documents automatically allows BPOs to practice the most efficient data management to streamline their operations and generate revenue. Eliminating manual keying and sorting from day-to-day operations can cut enormous costs and allow service bureaus to produce a visible ROI while generating additional opportunities and projects across all vertical markets. When processes are streamlined and automated, customers are happy and business opportunities grow. Automation, regardless of the document — or writing — type, provides for best overall practices for BPOs wanting to gain a competitive edge.
