Question 1

What is intelligent document processing (IDP)?

Accepted Answer

Intelligent document processing is an AI-powered technology that automates the capture, classification, extraction, validation, and routing of data from documents. Unlike traditional OCR which only digitizes text, IDP understands document context, extracts structured data, applies business rules, and integrates results directly into business systems like ERPs, CRMs, and databases.

Question 2

How is IDP different from traditional OCR?

Accepted Answer

Traditional OCR converts images to text. IDP goes further - it understands what the text means, identifies the document type, extracts specific fields, validates the data against business rules, and integrates results into your systems. OCR digitizes documents. IDP makes documents actionable. Modern IDP combines OCR with NLP, computer vision, machine learning, and workflow orchestration.

Question 3

How accurate is AI-based document data extraction?

Accepted Answer

Modern IDP systems achieve 99%+ accuracy on structured documents like standard invoices and forms, 95-98% on semi-structured documents like contracts and claims, and 85-95% on unstructured documents like emails and free-form text. Accuracy improves with model training on your specific document mix and human-in-the-loop corrections feeding back into retraining.

Question 4

What document types can your IDP system handle?

Accepted Answer

Bitontree builds IDP systems for any document type - invoices, contracts, claims, KYC documents, medical records, lab reports, purchase orders, bank statements, shipping manifests, customs forms, resumes, tax returns, regulatory filings, and custom industry-specific documents. We train extraction models on your actual document samples during deployment.

Question 5

How long does it take to deploy an intelligent document processing system?

Accepted Answer

Focused single-use-case deployments take 4-6 weeks. Multi-document, multi-system enterprise deployments take 8-14 weeks. Timeline includes document audit, model training on your samples, integration with your existing systems, testing against thousands of real documents, and phased production rollout.

Question 6

How much does intelligent document processing cost?

Accepted Answer

Cost depends on document volume, document types, integration complexity, and compliance requirements. Focused IDP deployments start at $20,000-40,000. Multi-system enterprise deployments range from $60,000-150,000. Monthly operational costs typically run $1,500-5,000 including model hosting, infrastructure, and monitoring. Most deployments deliver full ROI within 3-6 months.

Question 7

Will IDP work with handwritten or low-quality documents?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Bitontree deploys specialized handwriting recognition models alongside standard OCR, uses computer vision to enhance scan quality before extraction, and builds confidence scoring into every field. Documents below confidence thresholds route to human reviewers with the specific field flagged - combining AI speed with human accuracy on edge cases.

Question 8

Can intelligent document processing integrate with my existing CRM, ERP, or database?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We engineer bidirectional integrations with your production systems including SAP, Oracle, NetSuite, QuickBooks, Salesforce, HubSpot, Workday, Epic, custom databases, and any system with a REST or GraphQL API. For legacy systems without APIs, we build RPA bridges. Document data flows from capture through validation into your systems of record without manual transfer.

Question 9

Is intelligent document processing HIPAA, SOC 2, and GDPR compliant?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Bitontree builds compliance into the architecture from day one. HIPAA-compliant deployments include BAA-covered infrastructure, PHI redaction before LLM processing, encrypted data at rest and in transit, role-based access, and complete audit logging. SOC 2 and GDPR architectures available for all deployments. Your data never trains models for other clients.

Question 10

How does the AI improve over time?

Accepted Answer

Every human correction feeds the model. Every new document type expands the system's coverage. Bitontree provides ongoing model retraining and optimization for 90 days post-deployment. Accuracy improves measurably every quarter from production data. Unlike static rule-based automation, IDP systems get better - not worse - as they handle more documents.
