In this webinar, we share best practices for the capturing of key information and data from paper and electronic documents and forms. We discuss:
- The value of must-have features including OCR, image and file compression, redaction, and group collaboration – without altering the original file
- Why all companies in any industry and of any size need to take advantage of these modernization efforts
- How simple solutions are readily available, with easy integration into your existing applications.

Introducing our Featured Speaker
8. DX is about Business Transformation using Digital
Tools—i.e., leveraging modern technology.
DX does not mean digitizing paper processes—but
can certainly include it!
DX is a means to an end: meeting business goals in
ways that are smarter, faster, better.
DX starts and ends with business processes—
involve IT from the start.
Defining Digital Transformation (DX)
9. Access is limited.
Sharing is difficult.
Security is problematic.
Processes are slow.
Information is locked away or lost.
Problems with Paper and Scanned Documents
10. Bad examples:
• A broken insurance
reinstatement process
that takes weeks instead
of minutes.
• A broken internal IT
requisition process.
Good examples:
• Easy receipt submission
for staff expenses.
• Online renewal of vehicle
license plate tags.
Personal Examples of Bad and Good Processes
11. • You usually don’t have to—modern IT
solutions interface nicely.
“We already invested so
much in LOB software and
don’t want to replace it.”
• This is fine for one-off document capture,
but not for defined business processes.
“People already have the
ability to scan documents on
our departmental MFPs.”
• Is it really working? What do the involved
staff think? What do the BAs and EAs say?
“What we do is working.
Why change?”
Common Organization Hang-Ups
12. Do end-to-end business analysis of
business processes.
Prioritize processes and points for
improvement.
Work with LOB leaders and the CIO’s
department to design, budget for, and
deliver capture improvements.
Support DX with Smarter Document Capture
13. Begin with the End in Mind:
Strategy, Architecture, and Governance
• What is the end purpose of the
information?
• Input for a process?
• Evidence for adjudication?
• Historical records?
• Where should it end up?
• BPM system?
• CRM system?
• Payment processing system?
• Records center?
• How should it look when it gets there?
• Structured data (e.g., XML)?
• PDF document?
• Images? TIFFs?
• A document set?
• How should it get there?
• Automatic routing?
• Manual upload?
• Physical media?
• What metadata does it need?
• For proper indexing and findability?
• For routing and processing?
• How should copies be controlled and
governed?
• Once captured, what should happen
to the paper copy?
• During transit, what happens to
copies on various media?
14. Capture Fails to Avoid
• Variations in forms and formats, business processes, equipment and software
• Poor quality documents, preparation, scanning
• Issues with indexing, storage and transfer, verification and quality control
15. • Reduce variations in individual forms.
• Standardize document formats.
Forms and
formats
• Clearly define and map business processes.
• Limit changes in business processes.
Business
processes
• Use standardized scanning devices.
• Use standardized software.
Equipment and
software
Reduce Variations
16. • Use crisp, high-contrast originals.
• Ensure clear text and marks.
Original
Documents
• Batch by similar sizes, colors, indexing requirements.
• Unfold and remove staples.
• Ensure proper orientation and order.
Document
Preparation
• Use a standard DPI (e.g., 300 DPI).
• Choose the best color option (Bi-tonal, Grayscale, Color).
• Create better images.
Document
Scanning
Improve Quality
17. •Capture metadata from context when possible.
•Leverage auto-classification tools.
•Consider double-key metadata entry.
Indexing
•Send directly to the right repository.
•Send exceptions to a queue.
•Avoid transferring via physical media where possible.
Storage and
transfer
•Use imprinting/endorsing (Bates stamping).
•Perform scanning verification and image quality checks.
•Perform text searches to verify OCR results.
Verification and
quality control
Avoid Issues
18. • Scanning equipment: Document feeders, Duplex scanning, Simultaneous color
and b/w scanning, Imprinting/endorsing
• Scanning software: Scanning SME vs. LOB staff UX, APIs and SDKs
• Recognition software: OCR, ICR, OMR, MICR, 1-D and 2-D barcodes, APIs and
SDKs
• Auto-classification and indexing software: Database lookups, Zonal recognition,
Drag-and-drop indexing, APIs and SDKs
• Workflow and routing software: APIs and SDKs
Leverage the Right Tools for the Job
20. • Docs are stored in their SPOT (Single Point Of Truth) without duplication.
• LOB apps or specialized doc viewers can present docs to authorized people.
• Specific pieces of sensitive data or entire sections of documents can be
redacted for specific groups of authorized viewers.
• Original file should remain unaltered.
• Digital Signatures can be leveraged.
Better Collaboration on Captured Documents
21. All Organization Sizes Need Smarter Capture
Whether 10 or 10,000 staff,
smarter capture brings great
improvements in efficiency,
cost, insights, and impact.
For larger orgs, scanning should
not be left up to each individual
office or department. CIOs
should provide a flexible
capture platform for each LOB.
23. • Practice good Information Governance and Cybersecurity from start to finish.
• Unlock the data in your documents.
• Control who can access what information.
• Streamline processes.
• Provide a much better employee and customer experience.
Bottom Line: Business Transformation
