Intelligent document extraction platform (IDEP) use case opportunities are heating up. Early solutions offered a high level of automation but a low level of accuracy and provided little insight. Combining computer vision with advances in machine learning has made solutions more valuable and easier to build and maintain. But these improvements make choosing among the platform category alternatives even harder. Deep digitization improves data quality and drives insight. Four software platforms target intelligent document extraction use cases. Eleven criteria will guide you to the right platform choice. This report describes the options and provides a downloadable tool to allow enterprise architecture (EA) pros to compare them.
