What Is Intelligent Document Processing?
Intelligent document processing (IDP) is an AI-powered approach that uses technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), natural language processing (NLP), and optical character recognition (OCR) to automate the extraction, classification, and processing of data from structured, semi-structured, and unstructured documents. An intelligent document processing solution helps organizations eliminate manual data entry, streamline workflows with process automation, and unlock accurate data from large volumes of different document types.
Key components of intelligent document processing include:

Why Intelligent Document Processing is the Future of Document Workflows
As companies generate ever more paperwork, digital documents, and mixed-format files — from invoices and contracts to emails and images — traditional manual or template‑based document handling becomes a bottleneck. Modern IDP solutions powered by AI, machine learning, and OCR make it possible to keep up with large volumes of documents while boosting accuracy, speed, and compliance.
Handles any document format
IDP processes structured, semi‑structured, and unstructured content (invoices, receipts, scanned contracts, emails, forms) automatically.
Adapts and improves over time
Machine learning continually enhances data extraction and classification, reducing errors and increasing reliability.
Integrates with enterprise systems
Extracted data can flow directly into ERP, CRM, finance, or content‑management platforms for real-time processing and analytics.
Supports full automation
From capture to classification, validation, storage, and workflow routing, enabling end-to-end process automation.
