Brainware, a provider of intelligent data capture and enterprise search solutions, has announced that IDC has profiled the company in its ‘Worldwide Capture and Image Management Software 2008-2012’ forecast and analysis report. This study, which analyses the capture and image management software market highlights Brainware Distiller as a high-volume enterprise data extraction platform for straight-through processing of unstructured documents.
“Brainware specialises in high-end capture: its goal is to eliminate the need for human touch (and make document processing a straight-through ‘touchless’ process) by fully automating the recognition, extraction, and matching of information from paper and electronic documents with data in enterprise applications,” says the IDC report. “Brainware’s Distiller solution combines OCR, classification, extraction, and search to achieve high accuracy rates in high-volume scenarios without the need to define templates, and with minimal training sets.”
The research, authored by Melissa Webster, programme vice president with IDC, describes Brainware as an enterprise document processing platform. Its solutions, according to IDC, are used in complex forms-based scenarios such as remittance and bill-of lading and can be ‘applicable across the full range of enterprise use cases for capture.’
“The company is well positioned to make the most of the capture and image management market that, according to our predictions, will attain revenue of $1.5 billion by 2012,” says Melissa Webster. “This market will continue to be one of the stronger growth areas of the content management market over the next five years, given the potential return on investment (RoI) from automating manual, document-intensive business processes.”
