How does ABBYY Intelligent Document Processing work?

1. Ingest any document – structured, semi-structured and unstructured.
2. Vantage will automatically classify documents and assign a pre-trained AI model.
3. The assigned AI model will detect and extract information from the processed documents, normalize and validate the data so that it is ready to be passed on to downstream business systems.

Main use cases

• Data extraction from structured, semi-structured and unstructured documents, incl. machine-readable text and handwriting. Supported document types through pre-trained AI models include insurance claims, contracts, pay slips, identity documents, invoices, purchase orders, bills of lading, delivery notes, packing lists, tax forms (1040, W-2, 1099 etc.) and more. Custom models can be trained through a low-code skill designer.
• Data optimization for Generative AI through RAG. Vantage converts business documents into structured JSON files for easy integration with RAG and LLM systems like LangChain and facilitating your seamless transition to Al-driven technologies.
• Conversion of SharePoint repositories into searchable, indexable text. ABBYY's AI-based OCR technology accurately converts document archives into fully searchable text for further processing.

Business processes that can be automated with ABBYY IDP

You can use Vantage to digitize, automate, and process almost any type of document. It can be especially effective for a number of use cases, including:

• Customer onboarding and due diligence, including Know Your Customer (KYC).
• Shipping and logistics. Automatically processing complex shipping instructions, bills of lading, freight forwarding orders, and customs clearance documentation.
• Insurance claim processing. Eliminating human error and expediting the process of insurance claims.
