4. State of Mobile Data Capture
Harvey Spencer Associates expects the market for
mobile ad-hoc transactional and mobile ad-hoc image
capture software in the US to grow to over $1.3B by
2015, driven by the impact of mobile devices and
technology on business processes
The worldwide smartphone market grew 42.6% year
over year in the third quarter of 2011 (3Q11). Vendors

6. Needs for Mobile Data Capture:
User Scenarios
For Professionals:
Capture and process information on the go 24x7
Mobile applications/services to save, access, route and share documents/files, all remotely
No paper backlog to manage at the end of the day
International travelers can use their mobile phone as a translator
For Corporations:
Instant “sign & send” (NDAs, P.O.s, contracts, faxes, etc.)
Accelerate circulation of information (whiteboards, news , etc.)
Corporate policies on email can be fully enforced (security & confidentiality)
For Industry Verticals:
Logistics and transportation, real estate, travel, legal, health care,
insurance, financial services
Use standard mobile handhelds and extend your product offerings into
new and emerging markets in lieu of expensive dedicated data capture
devices being used today
Mobile document capture process can be branded (server-based)

7. Four Steps of Mobile Automation:
Using Mobile Phones and Cloud for Data Capture
Step 1: Image Import and Processing - The image is loaded from
memory and prepared for OCR.
Step 2: Document Analysis - Analyzes the image and detects letters,
joins the letters into words, then into lines of text, and finally, into
paragraphs.
Step 3: Optical Character Recognition - The detected blocks on the
image are recognized using the special language and pattern definitions.
Step 4: Result Processing - The recognition results can be processed and
exported. apture can be (1) on-device, (2) server-based or (3) hybrid

Now that we live in an Ubiquitous world, We need to look at our existing processes for today’s workforce
Your take away from this slide is: To look at the existing process and determine where , NOT IF, You can be more efficient using mobile capture
The high level steps to capture are the same for mobile Capture, Extract, Store, Search Recognition can be done on the Device In the cloud Or a Combination of both
Cloud-based or hybrid offers extended interoperability. Why? Cloud offers unlimited memory and processing power. Devices/smart phones have limited memory and processing power High-bandwidth by using data centers can enabled mash-up of applications More intelligence can be built into the capture system if hosted on cloud Mobile capture will push for more improvement in Image pre processing Classification Meta data extraction Smarter searching
What to charge and how has been seen as the difficult part But you should start by looking at who are your users and why Professionals, corporations, any vertical specific et
Concur is a leader in expense management, and had acquired Trip It
In Summary; Mobile Data Capture is Here; Look at the knowledge worker level Look at areas for improvement and to enhance Business Processes. By doing this we will increase efficiency and decrease costs.
