Today, virtually every industry and business department still rely heavily on documents in digital or printed format coming from different communication channels of input–email, fax, mobile, and scanners. These document processes put an enormous strain on operations and their employees.
Looking to automate document processes? There’s a Skill for that in the ABBYY Marketplace.
Unfortunately, enterprise automation teams are often held back from improving document-centric processes for several reasons, including:
The reality is that the way enterprises approach transforming their digital operations must be nimble, open, and faster than ever before, and deliver on the results customers expect. This has inspired a movement towards no code / low code tools, making IDP a perfect fit given the quick ROI it can deliver.
These no code / low code capabilities are the pre curser to the fact that in 3-5 years as much as 65% of development will be done in house using no code low code which are complimented by AI software bots (robots), per Gartner.

However, low code tools alone won’t address the needs of the enterprise. If you have documents containing unstructured data that needs to be turned into structured, actionable information to fuel a process, then you need cognitive skills like the AI-powered Document Skills in ABBYY Vantage.
An AI-powered Document Skill encapsulates the advanced technology of Optical Character Recognition (OCR) and machine learning to automatically process all types of documents, regardless of format and structure. The Document Skill powers the necessary steps to convert a document into actionable data—digitizing the text in a document and interpreting the objects contained in the document, identifying the document type regardless of the variations, and finally intelligently locating, extracting, and validating the data.
But it does not stop there. The availability of pre-trained skills that are trained document models is what drives faster and broader adoption across an enterprise, and ROI for Intelligent Document Processing.
Skills that understand documents right out-of-the-box is what users want. That’s why ABBYY has developed skills for some of the most common use cases our customers encounter.
Imagine wanting to process invoices, receipts, and purchase orders as part of a procurement process. ABBYY has a skill for that in the ABBYY Marketplace. These skills help companies accelerate document processing, increasing accuracy, efficiency, and faster cycle times.
