2. What Is Intelligent
Document Processing?
Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) is a
next-generation solution for extracting
data from complex, unstructured documents.
Unlike the technologies that came before
it, IDP can handle document complexity and
variation with the help of multiple AI
technologies and machine learning.
Enterprises are deploying IDP to increase
process automation, which is otherwise
hindered by manual data entry bottlenecks
and OCR limitations.

3. What Are Other Names For IDP?
Several names have been used to describe this category as it has emerged over the
last few years. These include:
•Intelligent Document Processing (IDP)
•Intelligent Data Processing (IDP)
•Intelligent Data Capture (IDC)
•Intelligent Data Extraction
•Cognitive Document Processing
•Enterprise Cognitive Computing (ECC) Application
•Machine Learning OCR or ML OCR*
*While some vendors use this term, we think it’s misleading. IDP is not an
extension of OCR.
It’s a replacement for OCR based on multiple AI technologies and a very different
approach.

4. What Problem
Does IDP Address?
IDP automates data extraction from complex,
unstructured documents that drive both back office
and front office business processes. Data
extracted by IDP can be consumed by business
systems to drive automation and other
efficiencies, such as the automated classification
of documents.
Accurate automated data extraction from
unstructured, complex documents is difficult, if
not impossible, for legacy OCR technologies
because these documents do not fit predefined
templates or have too much variation.
Without IDP, enterprises have to manually classify
and extract data from these documents.
With IDP, they get a fast, low-cost,
scalable alternative.

5. Who Is
Using IDP?
Large and medium enterprises across
industries and process types use IDP.
It stands to provide cost savings and
improve accuracy for these enterprises
as they invest in managing their large
volumes of unstructured data.

6. Is IDP Part of
Intelligent
Automation or
Hyper-Automation?
IDP can automate the manual data entry
process at the front end of an Intelligent
Automation or Hyper-Automation solution.
This strategy allows enterprises
to automate documents with greater
complexity and variation than legacy OCR
can handle. IDP helps expand the scope of
your automation initiatives.

7. What can IDP do?
IDP performs four main
functions
