IBM Datacap Overview

What is IBM Datacap?

IBM Datacap, recognized by Harvey Spencer and Associates as the #1 Capture provider in the Worldwide Software Vendor Capture Report, enables enterprises to automate digitization, classification, and extract important structured and unstructured from business documents to reduce or eliminate manual entry and errors, increase efficiency, productivity, and business insights. IBM Datacap supports the next generation of data capture using artificial intelligence to reduce mundane tasks, reducing the need for manual intervention, allowing enterprises to redeploy knowledge workers to higher value projects. Datacap uses natural language processing, text analytics and machine-learning technologies for complex tasks to enable enterprises to significantly accelerate processes, reduce labor costs, deliver meaningful information and improve the responsiveness of customer service. Data security is increased using role based redaction to automatically redact captured documents, based on the role of the requester, blocking out information according to a user's specifications to ensure protection of sensitive data. Datacap provides flexibility for capturing data from documents from a variety of sources with support for multiple-channel capture by processing paper documents, application images and digital files (such as PDF) from scanners, mobile devices, multi-function peripherals and fax. Enterprises have found IBM's Datacap software can reduce labor and paper costs, helping workers to quickly identify insights resulting in faster, more accurate, decision making.
