Does your company have a lot of Documents / PDF files that your employees have to check and enter into the database manually?
Yes! Then, you are on the right blog!
Most businesses are now sitting on Document goldmines. These documents are contracts, PDFs, emails, customer feedback, patterns. These documents are increasing over time.
Following are some example of the business which has millions of contract documents. They need to read these documents at a different times of their lifecycle for analyzing it. This needs a lot of processing time and error prone.
These are unstructured data.
Document AI, in beta, offers a scalable, serverless platform to automatically classify, extract, and enrich data from your scanned documents. It converts unstructured data into structured data.
Internally it uses the same deep machine learning technology that powers Google Search, Google Assistant, Natural Language Processing API to derive valuable insights from your unstructured documents.
The organisation has multiple field offices and the head office runs the HR / Payroll system. New joiner’s details are filled in a form by field managers and then forms are being sent to head office. The operator enters the details manually to the system and then Employee’s email, training, access card, laptop, and other formalities get sorted.
This end-2-end process takes days and till then employee sits idle. In my opinion new joiners (be it fresher or experienced) have always eager to demonstrate his/her talent or skill so they should not idle in their early days.
In this post, we will see how to automate document processing and end-to-end new joiner process:
