The ability to connect this information with the appropriate database and recognize it irrespective of the format or source is an extremely valuable feature

The standout feature of this intelligent product is its remarkable capability. This project we're currently engaged in revolves around streamlining workflows within both our company and the customer's company. It entails handling information from various documents with diverse formats and types, even when they contain the same data. The ability to connect this information with the appropriate database and recognize it irrespective of the format or source is an extremely valuable feature. Moreover, leveraging machine learning is crucial since our customer deals with an extensive archive of over five million documents. Machine learning can significantly alleviate the backlog by becoming well-versed in various scenarios they might encounter during their work once we've completed our application.

Maximizes document processing control with versatile OCR engines while anticipating needed auto-learning updates

The initial setup for new users may require some time, but the process is quick to learn, and the benefits are readily apparent. Kodak Info Input Solution offers significant versatility and control by allowing multiple OCR engines without needing knowledge-based models. This solution extends beyond invoices and procurement to handle various documents with extensive customization options. KODAK Info Input Solution does not require building knowledge-based models, unlike Ancora software. This flexibility and ease of use, especially in scenarios with simple invoice processing, make it a very useful tool. The extensibility and provision for customization, such as the ability to write JavaScript, increase its appeal.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The installation of the solution is very simple."

"The most valuable feature is its ability to capture data, which changes all the time into different formats."

"One of the valuable features of Datacap is the user experience. One thing that IBM did a few years ago was they standardized all of their ECM products on Content Navigator, including Datacap. If you're an IBM ECM customer you have FileNet, you have Datacap, you have StoredIQ and you have a consistent user experience, user interface."

"The solution automates manual data entry."

"Very scalable and stable data capture and extraction solution that's very simple to install."

"While we are doing indexing, we tag the document type. It's programmed inside of Datacap to automatically detect the document based on a given template. It auto-indexes that document, which means that it automatically tags the correct document type to the scanned document."

"Both Datacap Studio and Datacap Navigator are great features."

"The administration of the application following an error is most valuable. We are able to know easily when something is stuck in the system."

More IBM Datacap pros

"The KODAK Info Input Solution offers fast workflows for extracting information from even the largest documents."

"The most valuable feature of KODAK Info Input Solution is the open intelligence piece, the ability to consume five different OCR engines."

"The KODAK Info Input Solution's customer support is the best."

"The KODAK Info Input Solution offers fast workflows for extracting information from even the largest documents."

Cons

"We have page requirements where some values must be copied on each page. For example, say I need to scan a bunch of documents, and the name will be a field on every page. We don't have a default functionality in Datacap to copy the field value on the first page to all the pages. That feature would make the documents easy to prepare."

"Speed of OCR is one issue. It's a challenge because we have customers that have millions and millions of pages that they want this solution to crank through. In order to do that you have to have a large infrastructure in place, and that directly impacts licensing based on the core count."

"I would like better ease of use and more support options."

"Its weaknesses are primarily tied to the lack of available resources and expertise in the market to effectively support and provide solutions and services to each customer for seamless implementation. Expertise in this specific product is rare throughout the market. One key reason is the product's limited downloads. Additionally, archiving solutions are often perceived as complex and challenging, dissuading many companies from venturing into this domain. Consequently, partners who specialize in archiving solutions are always seeking straightforward, uncomplicated options that are easy to manage and meet customer expectations."

"The technical support is horrible. They have downsized the support teams too much. They've outsourced some of them along with some of the development, and they're just stretched too thin."

"I would like to see integration of Watson AI technology into Datacap."

"There should be an increase in the capacity of the workflows. Datacap is a little limited in this aspect. So, you cannot really implement all the possibilities."

"It can take some time to implement."

More IBM Datacap cons

"Integrating KODAK Info Input Solution with other software, such as Laserfiche, presents challenges due to inadequate documentation and an unintuitive web services interface."

"The most significant area for improvement in the KODAK Info Input Solution is its ability to support custom definitions and auto-learn."

"Integrating KODAK Info Input Solution with other software, such as Laserfiche, presents challenges due to inadequate documentation and an unintuitive web services interface."

"The most significant area for improvement in the KODAK Info Input Solution is its ability to support custom definitions and auto-learn."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is an expensive solution."

"This solution is the most expensive in the market."

"This solution offers seamless integration with other enterprise products, which is my area of responsibility, focusing on government sector projects. Larger enterprise projects don't pose problems. It might be suitable for small businesses as well."

"It varies, and it depends on the client's requirements and negotiations. Nowadays, Datacap is also included in the IBM Cloud Pak for Business Automation."

"Pricing depends on how much we use it. We pay per bulk quantity. We pay as you go. Therefore, it sort of depends on our usage of it."

"Pricing needs to stay competitive."

"If you want IBM Datacap on cloud, which is a service run by IBM, the price can be quite expensive, but if you want to just purchase the licenses and own those yourself, then the price is very competitive."

"In Egypt, we have exchange rates that change year to year, and currently, we're facing an increase in the exchange rate between our Egyptian pound and the dollar. Since we have been using IBM DataCap two years ago we had a good price, it was not expensive. However, I cannot say now if it is expensive or not because of the exchange rate. Additionally, I don't have the data of other competitors and I don't know the prices."

More IBM Datacap pricing and cost advice

"Although KODAK Info Input Solution's pricing is competitive within the industry's consumption-based model, its approach is overly complex."

"The pricing of KODAK Info Input Solution in Mexico is very expensive, and the government's purchasing process requires convincing many stakeholders."
