It's good to digitize documents. It's better to integrate them into your workflows.
Many organizations aim to go paperless (or at least paper light) to make life easier for their people and cut down on routine office tasks. But without the right technology, digitizing physical documents and routing them to the right destinations can increase the admin burden, instead of reducing it.
Even if done efficiently, digitizing documents is only half the story. To gain real business benefit, you need to integrate digital and digitized documents into your business processes to automate and streamline workflows and support digital transformation.
Intelligent digitization, simplified workflow integration
If you use Konica Minolta bizhub MFPs, you can add smart apps and software to your devices that make scanning and digitization a snap, and automate the integration of documents you scan or receive in digital format into your business processes. Our apps and software can:
- Recognize document types (or read barcodes) to automatically route digital and digitized documents to the right destination – such as a person, team, application, or workflow (such as invoice approval)
- Convert hard-copy documents to a range of digital formats, including Word, Excel, PDF, JPEG and XML – allowing editing or data manipulation in other apps and systems
- Extract data (including handwritten text) from forms, contracts, and other business documents using AI-driven optical and intelligent character recognition (OCR, ICR), enabling intelligent document recognition and automated processing
- Use AI-powered ICR to extract data and name and classify documents according to their content – for example, file names for invoices can be automatically assigned based on the name of the invoice issuer and the invoice number – and automatically apply metadata
- Automate recognition and redaction of personal identifiable information (PII) using AI-powered capability
- Use AI to integrate document summaries or automatic translations of documents into your workflow
- Allow after-hours scheduling of batch jobs to leave bandwidth free during the working day
Our apps can be operated from the bizhub control panel; or can receive documents via a watch folder or from a device or other source, such as shared folders or cloud storage solutions. AI-powered modules help optimize document processing workflows – further reducing manual effort and improving the accuracy of document-handling.
