A Great Start vs. a Great Finish

-

 


What happens when you read a book that starts well but does not end well? Or, vice versa?

The beginning of a book sets the tone, mood, expectation, etc., and if the ending does not meet these, you will likely be disappointed. In the same way, a great ending may leave you satisfied but perhaps you were forcing yourself to hang on until the end if the beginning was not interesting enough. Certainly, the best book or movie experiences can be witnessed when all of it is great. It should have both a great start and a great finish.

Similarly, when it comes to automation, the optimum solution is the one that offers both a great start and a great finish.

Several IDP solutions offer a great start where AI-based API solutions extract data with 70% or 80% or even 90% out-of-the-box accuracy. But the struggle may start once the manual data entry team is required to invest a lot of time to achieve 100% accuracy.

On the other hand, there are Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) solutions that may offer you 100% accuracy. While it might end well, how much time and cost did it take to reach the desired results? This all depends on the technology used by your BPO provider. If they are not achieving high accuracy extractions right out-of-the-box, it may be time-consuming, expensive, and labor-intensive.

  Choosing a new technology partner is like making a move in a chess match. A wrong move from your end gives your opponent a competitive edge. While automation is inevitable in today’s world, picking the wrong partner for automating business processes can be a detrimental move for your business. In our recent conversations, we have seen many companies choose Infrrd once they have become frustrated with their vendors after the first year of partnership. This is not about bragging but rather a true statement based on feedback from these new clients. We tried to understand why this happened and assumed it was due to a lack of effort invested in the evaluation of very critical aspects of the platform. This resulted in choosing an IDP partner that could deliver short-term benefits without the vision of how their solution would perform in the long term. How can companies make an informed decision when choosing an Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) partner and avoid wasted efforts while ac
