Transformed document processing has become foolproof with seamless data extraction

Automated data collection has replaced manual emails and now connects business forms to back-end reports
Prophecy can be improved, as right now the form is very limited. We have to do a lot of manual entry with the form to get it set up. We have a lot of things that change year over year, so I have to go in there and manually play around with it, manually changing this and that. Having dynamic forms, having the forms connect to back-end data, and basically making the forms more streamlined would be my need from Prophecy. Everything else on the back end, the pipelines, and those types of things have been pretty easy to understand. I think once you get things set up, I've been very impressed with it. The only improvement at least for my side would be the form.
