FAQ
What is Intelligent Document Processing?
Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) refers to the use of advanced technologies, such as artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), to automatically capture, extract, and process data from various types of documents. IDP goes beyond traditional document processing by incorporating intelligent features that allow for greater accuracy, speed, and efficiency.

How to choose the right Intelligent Document Processing software?
Choosing the right intelligent document processing (IDP) software is crucial for driving effective digital transformation in business processes.
Here are essential points to consider when choosing your IDP solution:
Assess Your Business Needs: Avoid adopting a one-size-fits-all approach by carefully defining your specific requirements. What are your primary objectives? Whether it’s enhancing customer experience, improving productivity, streamlining processing workflows, or alleviating employee workload, clearly outline your IDP investment goals. Prepare detailed questions for potential vendors regarding expected outcomes, integration ease, user adoption, scalability, training requirements, and compliance with evolving ethical AI regulations.
Identify Data Processing Requirements: Your industry dictates varying data and document types—from insurance claims and legal documents to loan applications and contract management. IDP solutions are adaptable to handle structured data like forms and tables, as well as unstructured data such as email content and graphics. Understanding your data sources and formats is crucial when selecting the appropriate IDP platform.
Select a Customized Solution: Once you’ve defined your needs, focus on finding a solution tailored to meet your specific requirements. Consider features such as multilingual data support, robust privacy compliance tools, authentication capabilities, and seamless integration with existing workflows. IDP platforms can automate document categorization, organizing tasks based on content—for example, sorting applications by date or categorizing emails into relevant folders.

Knowing What IDP is Not
Understanding Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) and its benefits for businesses also involves distinguishing it from other technologies:
IDP is More Than Just OCR or Data Capture
While IDP incorporates Optical Character Recognition (OCR) and data capture technologies, these are just components of a broader system. IDP integrates advanced AI and machine learning algorithms to add expert-level decision-making capabilities to the processing of content. Unlike simple OCR, which merely converts text from images to editable formats, IDP can understand, classify, and extract data in a context-aware manner, providing deeper insights and higher accuracy.
IDP is Distinct from Robotic Process Automation (RPA)
Robotic Process Automation (RPA) automates specific, rule-based tasks within defined processes. RPA operates on structured data to execute repetitive tasks. However, IDP goes beyond by making sense of unstructured data contained in documents. It captures and interprets content, transforming it into structured data that RPA can then use for downstream processes. Thus, IDP complements RPA by enabling it to handle tasks that require contextual understanding and data extraction from complex documents.
IDP is Not the Same as ChatGPT
ChatGPT is a natural language processing (NLP) model designed to generate human-like text responses based on user queries. It uses deep learning algorithms to understand and produce language. In contrast, IDP, such as Haystac, focuses on extracting and processing data from documents. While ChatGPT deals with conversational AI and text generation, IDP specializes in converting diverse document types—such as invoices, purchase orders, and contracts—into structured, actionable data through OCR and other advanced technologies.
