With the normalization of distributed workforces, organizations across all industries have had to adapt their business operations quickly. Today, many employees who need to collect, assess, process, and act on data are doing so from a remote office. There’s a growing need for intelligent document processing (IDP) solutions that can be operated by an array of remote workers who can quickly onboard and validate information of various types and formats.

A successful IDP solution must be decentralized, flexible, and simple to access and use. It should be easy for employees to capture data from mobile devices, document scanners, email attachments, multi-function printers (MFPs), and other sources across various departments, remote branches, or home offices.

This is why KODAK Info Input Solution is a popular choice for businesses that need to manage data inflows from a variety of sources, process the information according to defined rules, and get the information into business systems quickly and accurately. Info Input is an award-winning IDP solution that simplifies how businesses capture, extract, validate, and deliver information across the enterprise to improve efficiency and business results. This browser-based solution makes it easy to connect people to documents, documents to processes, and processes to systems.

Here are 10 reasons why Info Input might be the right solution for your business.

1. Info Input is ideal for businesses with a distributed workforce. Info Input is a browser-based IDP solution, so there’s no need for end users to install or manage the software on their PCs. There’s also an optional mobile app for phones and tablets. On the admin side, you can install Info Input on a local server or private cloud. All administration and maintenance functions are performed centrally and support all major authentication services, including Azure AD and Okta.
   
   The software is easy to configure and use, so it’s ideal for businesses that require central administration with a distributed user base. Whether you need a 2-user system or 50,000-user system, it’s easy for employees to onboard data from scanned paper documents and digital files from sources such as e-mails, chat histories, PDFs, and app data.
   
   
2. Its Open Intelligence^TM architecture makes AI integration simple. It’s an open and flexible system that makes it easy to integrate with the world’s most powerful and advanced document AI engines, like Google AI, Microsoft Azure AI Document Intelligence, and AWS Textract, to create a true IDP solution that you can deploy with minimal configuration and training. Leveraging these systems ensures that your business always has state-of-the-art capabilities to power continual productivity gains.
   
   
3. You can easily harness the power of generative AI. In addition to document AI service integrations to improve the quality and accuracy of your data streams, Open Intelligence means that your IDP platform can leverage cutting-edge generative AI to go beyond what the data is and understand what it means—from any document in any context. That means you can make better decisions from better data, and it’s much faster than relying on teams of humans to read and interpret long, tedious documents.
   
   
4. It’s easy to integrate into your CRM and ERP systems, e.g. Salesforce. Info Input’s open architecture allows for easy integration with your existing systems. Connectors seamlessly integrate documents and data into your downstream and cloud applications, and its intuitive user interface minimizes the need for training and maintenance costs.
   
   The platform can run directly within a business application, so users don’t have to exit their primary business application to onboard documents, whether dragging them from a computer folder or driving a physical scanner. This integration of information capture and processing directly into business systems saves a lot of time, improves worker focus, and reduces the risk of human error.
   
   
5. Flexible licensing lowers your operational costs. Info Input doesn’t have any click/page charges for basic extraction, and there’s no need for individual licenses for each workstation. With concurrent licensing, an average of about 25% of licenses are required based on the number of users.
   
   
6. Info Input Solution improves a wide variety of business workflows. You can separate scanned batches by patch or barcode, automatically classify and organize any digital or physical document sets, extract key data from documents of any complexity—via barcodes, OCR (optical character recognition), ICR (handwriting recognition), OMR (optical mark recognition) or generative AI—and leverage machine learning features to take workflow automation to a higher level.
   
   
7. Info Input Solution accelerates business productivity. Info Input provides unparalleled performance characteristics. It supports scanners that can process over 200 sheets per minute, with asynchronous batch download capability to maximize productivity. Users never have to wait—Info Input can index scanned documents while a batch is still downloading.
   
   
8. Info Input excels in environments that rely on a variety of data sources and devices. Businesses that need to gather information from a variety of data sources such as email, online forms, paper documents, mobile devices, and multi-function devices, can rely on Info Input Solution to quickly classify, extract, validate, and deliver their data wherever it needs to be.
   
   
9. Info Input simplifies data archiving and compliance.  Info Input ensures a consistent cross-platform chain of custody, which is essential for compliance and security audits. Data transfers are secured using standard Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption.
   
   
10. Real-time redaction of personally identifiable information (PII). Info Input makes it easy to redact PII information from scanned or electronic documents automatically, ensuring that customers are compliant with all their business requirements.
