Enterprise Capture has Arrived

David Jenness - Marketing
IBM
Session 5.2
Monday, February 06, 4 - 4:50 p.m.

It's not about point solutions any more. It's not just scanning in Accounts Payable, for example, or a backfile conversion in the records department. It's about applying capture capabilities wherever paper and business process intersect – across the enterprise – to lower cost, raise accuracy and speed transactions.

Once, the Digital Mailroom was the solution for applying capture to the enterprise, but it never caught on, and now it's no longer practical.  Today's document strategy needs to encompass paper, but also faxes, emails and attachments. Recent studies show that the fastest growing source of new documents is email, which completely bypasses the mailroom.

Enterprise Capture is a comprehensive strategy which requires a comprehensive solution. A single platform that can support a broad range of capture capabilities:

  • Distributed scanning and capture capabilities
  • Multiple recognition engines, classification methods, and imaging tools
  • Image conversion for emails and attachments
  • Accurate classification for thousands of documents types
  • Scalable architecture and pricing model that encourages expansion
  • Tight integration with Imaging, workflows and Line of Business systems

IBM has helped industry leaders in Financial Services, Healthcare and Transportation implement Enterprise Capture to speed processing and lower cost. This session will examine the business benefits of Enterprise Capture and the ways that organizations have put it into practice.

Once relegated to document imaging and archiving, advances in capture technology have created a new class of solutions called intelligent data capture, that enable complete enterprise data automation. These new solutions not only capture data from complex documents, but validate, augment and reconcile it with existing information to ensure that what's being captured is immediately actionable. The result is that for the first time, companies are using intelligent data capture to "master" what has traditionally been labor intensive data entry, correction, and integration.

This session will help you:

  • Identify opportunities for data automation in your organization.
  • Evaluate and prioritize your potential investments in data automation using a portfolio approach.
  • Plan for an communicate the changes to business processes and organizational structures that will increase the velocity of your program.

Tips, Tricks, and Traps:  Accounts Payable Invoice Automation 

Tom Walker - Portfolio Manager, SAP Invoice Management
OpenText
Session 1.1 - Data Capture Automation
Monday, February 06, 9:40 - 10:30 a.m.

Accounts Payable optimization / automation begins with the accumulation of invoice meta data. In the past year, e invoice and vendor networks have shown significant growth yet paper invoices still account for over 80% of all invoices. Economic pressures have lead most corporations to explore all avenues of back office improvements as a method to increase profitability. The digitization and archival of paper invoices has become one of the most significant first steps. Utilization of OCR / IDR to eliminate manual entry into ERPs such as SAP has become a significant second step. Once the invoice meta data has been accumulated, the third step is the system driven business rule problem detection and resolution. In this session learn how archiving and OCR / IDR work together to reduce invoice errors while driving down process cost when combined with a controlled solution.
