Key Benefits
Businesses are in a continual race to evolve, this is especially true for companies that are in the business of information. Whether you gather and analyse information to advise or sell to others, use information in-house to maintain a competitive edge, or leverage information in an entirely new and disruptive business model. Yet many companies rely on manual research, incomplete information gathered from web scraping tools, third-party data and home-grown coding solutions to power this critical piece of their business. This is not only time-consuming and costly but it also hinders scalability, provides reduced data accuracy, standardisation and ultimately results in a diluted customer experience. There are a wide range of real world applications for automating web data extraction, below is just a snapshot of use cases where Kofax customers are today applying this technology to drive incredible business value.
