What Is Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) and Why It Matters

The Problem: Manual Document Handling

Organizations spend countless hours manually processing documents, leading to errors, delays, and high operational costs.

Traditional OCR and rule-based systems often fail with unstructured or complex documents.

What Is IDP?

Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) combines AI, machine learning, and natural language processing to automate the extraction, classification, and validation of data from documents.

Modern IDP solutions can handle a wide variety of formats, including PDFs, images, emails, and more.

Key Capabilities

• Automated data extraction from structured and unstructured documents
• Classification and routing of documents based on content
• Validation of extracted data against business rules
• Integration with downstream business systems

Why It Matters

IDP enables organizations to automate data extraction, reduce manual errors, and accelerate business processes.

With the rise of large language models, IDP solutions are becoming more accurate and adaptable than ever before.

Benefits of IDP

• Faster document processing times
• Lower operational costs
• Improved data accuracy
• Enhanced compliance and auditability

Getting Started with IDP

• Begin by identifying high-volume, repetitive document workflows in your organization.
• Evaluate IDP solutions that integrate with your existing systems and support your document types.
• Start with a pilot project to measure impact and refine your approach.
