What is Intelligent document processing and why are we here?

As someone observing how AI is reshaping our work, I’ve realized that despite the digital revolution we are going through – Documents are still the backbone of any core business operation. Now, handling large volumes of documents, whether contracts, invoices, or CVs, has always been a daunting challenge. 

As a result, managing and processing these documents has often led to a bottleneck in business workflows. But what if there was a way to not only streamline these processes but also make them smarter and more intuitive? 

In this context, Intelligent Document Processing (IDP), powered by Artificial Intelligence (AI) transforms the way we interact with documents. 

As per Forbes, AI-powered document processing can achieve accuracy levels of up to 95% or higher, significantly reducing errors! Similarly, At TheCodeWork®, we tapped into this potential with solutions like the:

With AI at its core, IDP is transforming document workflows, offering unprecedented efficiency, accuracy, and scalability. Therefore, let’s take a closer look at how it is reshaping the landscape and what that means for businesses everywhere.

What is Intelligent Document Processing (IDP)?

IDP uses advanced AI tools to automate workflows related to document management processes across industries. Consequently, this transformative approach replaces traditional, manual processes, addressing key challenges faced by organizations in handling documents:

• Manual Data Entry Errors: Reliance on human input often results in inaccuracies and inconsistencies.
• Time-Consuming Workflows: Repetitive tasks such as sorting, organizing, and data extraction slow down operations.
• Unstructured Data Complexity: Extracting structured and actionable information from diverse formats—like PDFs, scanned images, and handwritten documents—requires significant time and effort.

Moreover, IBM revealed that up to 50% of data in a standard company can be inaccurate, largely stemming from manual entry errors.

However, AI-powered IDP provides a robust solution to these issues, by: 

• Natural Language Processing (NLP): Allows machines to understand the context and semantics of text, ensuring accurate data interpretation.
• Optical Character Recognition (OCR): Digitizes physical documents by converting printed or handwritten text into machine-readable formats.
• Machine Learning (ML): Facilitates pattern recognition, predictive analytics, and continuous improvement, adapting workflows to business needs over time.

Likewise, approximately 60% of companies will implement IDP solutions by 2025, with 85% considering IDP crucial for digital transformation. Now, given that it could be worthwhile to explore how our AI solutions might fit into your business.
