The Future of IDP: Universal Document Automation

Our enterprise content management (ECM) customers tell us that increased competition, shrinking IT budgets and heightened compliance regulations are disrupting ‘business as usual’ and forcing the move towards more agile content services.

Recent industry studies have stated that the success of achieving true modernization is directly linked to transforming the classification, access, and automation of documents and unstructured content across the enterprise.

In this webinar panel, industry experts from ASG Technologies, Ephesoft, and Zia Consulting discuss:
- Automation: steps to becoming a truly data-driven organization and automating the manual gaps throughout your enterprise

- Governance: the reality of end-to-end governance from identification through to disposition—on an enterprise scale

Executive Series: The New Frontier of Content Modernization

Automate everything, everywhere. Hyperautomation has provided organizations with a toolkit and methodology to drive cost savings, create efficiency and improve business outcomes. And with documents providing process friction, it’s obvious why Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) is at the center of many projects. With most organizations running many automation projects simultaneously, improved outcomes come with a high cost.   

The reality is that organizations need a cohesive, strategic plan to avoid the chaos of creating tech stacks that compare to the urban sprawl of housing developments and suburbs. Urban sprawl has been correlated with increased energy use (costly), pollution (unhealthy), traffic congestion (slow and error-prone), a decline in community distinctiveness (average at best) and cohesiveness (lacking a plan). Fact is, hyperautomation is one of the top trends of 2022 and businesses must approach it with caution and strategic intent to be competitive and grow exponentially.

In this session, we will explore: 
- What is hyperautomation and why you should care
- Why data is your key “currency” in your tech stack
- How to build the foundation for hyperautomation with key technologies
- Considerations and tips to optimize the path to hyperautomation

Hyperautomation in 2022: Avoiding the Sprawl

Supercharging Your AP Department: Overcome the Top 4 Challenges with IDM Capture

Managing sensitive information in the public sector continues to be a struggle. Government has a critical and time-consuming duty to provide constituents with access to public information and records. However, with reduced staffing and increased scrutiny of government spending, departments often lack the budget and resources to protect Personally Identifiable Information (PII) on documents utilizing outdated processes.  

Data security must be protected permanently and be part of a broad strategy that focuses on privacy, people, and processes.  Computer SI Corporation’s Intelligent Computer Assisted Redaction Solution (ICARS), powered by Ephesoft, is a powerful tool for the Government to use in its efforts to protect PII. Join the webinar to learn more.
