Customer Problem
Document management is a time-consuming, error-prone, yet critical task for many sectors, and this task still requires significant manual efforts for a majority of companies. As of now, unsearchable and unstructured data accounts for 80% of the enterprise document flow and results in wasted millions on manual document processing. Manually extracting data not only takes time but hinders data analysis as well.
