Data Capture
Data Capture
Automation of data and document capture gives a rapid
return on investment that creates a strategic competitive
advantage. Most businesses, however, continue to process
almost 80% of their documents manually. This is a
time-consuming process, expensive and increases the
probability of errors.
Collecting, validating and storing information is a huge
process for organizations, particularly if they don't have the
necessary tools to easily achieve this.

Data Capture division offers high quality, effective
services ideally suited to high volume applications data
extraction from the web, electronic publication, file
conversion and more. We offer the highest level of cost
savings, efficiency and security derived from our years of
experience delivering offshore solutions.
Our complete solution allows us to reduce client's back
office headcount by outsourcing their non-core operations.
This solution can include receiving and sorting incoming mail,
scanning the images and keying the information onshore, or
transmitting the data. The data is then returned according to
customer specifications and can be loading into the customers
imaging system.
We utilize the cost effectiveness of offshore labor to
perform the data extraction and data conversion functions
while using a workflow and proprietary tracking system to
securely and efficiently track and manage the offshore
activities and coordinate those with the domestic activities.
Our tracing system tracks documents and data real-time as they
move through the extraction workflow process. This system
ensures that every document and all data is accounted for,
provides control in preventing loss of documents and data and
ensures that all data is captured accurately and timely.
How we Work
Our generally preferred method for data capture is Optical
Character Recognition, an automated process that creates
digital machine readable format of hardcopy textual pages.
Pages that exist only as hardcopy are imaged at a required
resolution then passed through our proprietary suite of OCR
engines in a process that extracts all textual data.
We use a customized system with a mix of leading commercial
and proprietary tools, technologies and processes — to produce
the highest level of textual accuracy. To further enable us to
deliver maximized accuracy levels, a combination of manual and
automated processes are used.
These include a system of processes whereby different
voting engines make intelligent, rules- and syntax-based
decisions to maximize initial OCR accuracy.
Our complete solution allows us to reduce client's
back-office burden by outsourcing their non-core activities.
The data is then returned according to customer specifications
and can be loading into the customers imaging system.

Quality
Quality and data accuracy as being of great importance. We
guarantee our clients the highest level of accuracy to 99.98%.
We do this by maintaining stringent checks on client data at
all times during the keying process. These checks form part of
a company wide standard processing procedure, which is always
followed. As a result, we are able to achieve and maintain a
higher accuracy rate on single key entry work than many with
double key entry. In the area of quality control, we have
specific edits and check points of tables that are customized
by our experienced programmers for each job.
We have few basic types of validations:
Table look-ups, data checks and relationship validation. In
a table look up one or more fields are validated against a
database. If there is exact match of odds are good that the
data is correct since it proved to be congruent with a set of
known quantities. With data checks the field or character
information is compared with a model to see that it conforms
to a specific type, such as a specific alphanumeric field or
date, such as the date of purchase on a bill of sale used to
support a title guarantee application. A validation might also
check to see that a number is within a specific range.
All processing is overseen by experienced on Operations
Managers. They are responsible for the final quality assurance
of data. Special quality control checks designed specifically
for each project are utilized in addition to the quality
control specifications that are in place during processing.
These supplemental checks, with professional account
management, further ensure data integrity, accuracy and
dependability.
Hard copies can be stored for a period of five months.
After the completion of a project, if required, we will store
clients' hard copy originals at no charge for a period of
three months on a rotation basis; whereas the new hardcopy
arrives the processed hardcopy will be forwarded.
