From Manual to Machine: The Future of Document Automation in the Digital Age

From Manual to Machine: The Future of Document Automation in the Digital Age

A bottleneck for most of the businesses today is document management and processing. Controlling the lifecycle of a document is a complex process in itself. Undertaking this task with just manual support increases the complexity of document management.

With digital advancements in every field, document automation is also picking pace. From healthcare and insurance to finance and accounting, businesses are enthusiastic about making new technologies like generative AI a part of their document automation process.

Switch from Manual to Machine Document Automation

The shift from manual to AI-enabled document automation is driven by several key factors:

 

  • Document Volume: Organizations, such as insurance providers, handle numerous documents such as insurance forms, passport, proof of employment, residency status, medical history, and more with structured and unstructured data, making manual processing prone to errors, lost information, and inefficient searches.
  • Unstructured Submissions: Customers submit various unstructured documents, such as scanned PDFs, images, handwritten notes, policy documents, ID proofs, and invoices, which are time-consuming and difficult to manage manually.
  • Multi-language Documents: In regions like Arab countries, translating documents from Arabic to English manually is labor-intensive and prone to mistakes.
  • Increased Operational Cost: Processing paper-based documents is costly due to both the physical work involved and the expenses of correcting manual errors.
  • Fraud Detection Challenges: Forging documents for personal gains is not an uncommon practice. Manual document handling can overlook fraudulent documents, leading to significant financial losses.
