About ABBYY VantageABBYY Vantage is a comprehensive Content Intelligence platform that provides AI-powered cognitive

services and pre-trained and trainable skills that can "understand" business documents and extract

actionable data and insights.

This no-code / low-code platform makes today’s digital worker and processes smarter and empowers

the new citizen developer to accelerate digital transformation initiatives and expand automation to new

processes in a fast and simple way, making an immediate impact on business results and customer

experience.

Types of documents that can be processed with Vantage

Vantage is capable of processing structured and semi-structured document types in a variety of input

formats and languages.

· Structured documents are documents which always include the exact same information in the

exact same space, such as pre-defined forms, where the date has been filled out within designated

areas.

· Semi-structured documents are documents which generally include the same or similar

information, but in each document the location, size, and number of fields may vary from document

to document. Examples of semi-structured documents are bills, payment orders, and invoices.

The Vantage platform comes with a set of built-in Document Skills, which can extract data from certain

document types out-of-the-box (i.e. invoices, purchase orders, receipts, bills of lading, delivery notes).

These skills can be adjusted according to specific requirements and further trained based on customer-

specific documents.

Vantage users have also the option to design and train a completely new Document Skill, Classification

Skill, and/or Process Skill based on their own document set.

Remittance Advice - Document SkillThe Remittance Advice skill extracts data from remittance advice notifications. A remittance advice is

a letter sent by the client to the vendor to confirm that an invoice has been paid by the client. A

remittance advice can also be accompanied by an invoice or a receipt.

The Remittance Advice skill is a Framework Skill. It has been trained on a small document set and is

intended to be used by citizen developers as a quick-start basis for processing remittance advices. The

skill may require further training on your specific documents in order to be used in production scenarios.

the Catalog, the prefix <New> will be added to their names.
