Mail ProcessingIntelligent Classification and Automated Distribution

ISIS Papyrus enables your incoming mail to flow:

Studies have found that up to 75% of all documents received and manually keyed into a data collection system contain some type of error. However, the ISIS Papyrus Capture solu-tion automates document processing with speed and accu-racy, regardless of the input method. Papyrus Capture can meet all of your corporate inbound document requirements without the need for complex programming.

Incoming Mail/Scanning Case documents are often received as paper documents which Papyrus Capture then transforms into business critical information. They are scanned, digitally signed and encrypted to secure the data.

Visual quality control, batch image optimization, and auto-mated indexing technologies such as barcode and/or OCR with zonal recognition are all part of the Papyrus solution.

Incoming Faxes Papyrus Fax Server set ups in remote offices enable fax docu-ments to be scanned and indexed directly at the source then shared as appropriate throughout the organization based upon roles and privileges.

Incoming E-mails For e-mails, neural network functionality is used to compare similarities and differences with incoming e-mails and those stored in the domain knowledge-base that’s built up by examples. Words and phrases are used to classify an e-mail, and not just those in the subject line. This is approximately 10 times quicker then OCR recognition.

Web Response Papyrus software also allows for a Web application where cus-tomers fill out HTML response forms. These are captured with the Papyrus HTTP Adapter and processed accordingly.

SOAP Application Message A SOAP message can be used to communicate informa-tion from a 3rd party application server, JAVA application, Web Portal or any other WebServices enabled system. The extracted information can be compared to existing databases to ensure accuracy.

Automation by Recognition: Extract/Index & Categorize

Recognition of all inbound Communication

With the variety of documents that arrive daily at a com-pany the need to quickly process and forward them to the right department is paramount. Therefore, the development and operation of a capture system must be independent of document types, input hardware and operating system. But in order to achieve the afore mentioned result, large banks, insurance companies, government organizations, industry and service corporations all require fast development, elimi-nation of programming effort and operating system and scanner independence; all of this is inherent in the Papyrus Inbound Concept.

Self-learning Classification Process The Papyrus Capture classification methodology is indepen-dent of document type because the categorizer is typically trained through the use of examples. From this input the clas-sification process learns specific similarities and distinctive differences. Self-learning technology ensures that all types of documents can be classified based on properties, keywords and rules. As for the documents that could not be classified correctly, constant fine-tuning is possible whilst Papyrus Capture runs in real time. This ensures continuous optimization of Papyrus Classify and enables flexible adjustment of the rules based on the changes in the received documents that have to be processed.

Benefits achievedSignificant reduction of manual data entry��Higher data quality��Reliable and reproducible results��Language independent processing��

Intelligent Extraction Process Based on advanced OCR/ICR (a combination of ISIS’ own development and a market leader engine), printed and hand-written documents can be analyzed and data fields of interest automatically extracted irrespective of whether the position on the page is known or not. Immediate Fuzzy-logic based matching uses calculations to assess the probability of the contents of a predefined data field for dramatically improved results. Papyrus FixForm uses four OCR/ICR engines with advanced image preprocessing for improved document recognition. It provides indexing and processing of data extracted from known forms on predefined document positions. Manifold parameterization and post processing text filter functions enable best possible recognition automation.

Papyrus FreeForm® automatically recognizes scanned but unsorted business documents of unknown structure and layout. The system also recognizes unstructured or poorly structured documents with great reliability and is capable of processing any kind of business case document, such as correspondence, invoices, copied forms, job applications, and many more.

Exception handling In the uncommon event that automatic classification is not successful the document is routed for manual classification and is displayed automatically for visual classification. The document is then flagged and can be routed to a supervisor’s inbox for further verification. Self-learning technology ensures that all types of documents can be classified.

Data entry staff that are given ”Correction and Verification” duties need only to deal with rejected character reads or those failing the plausibility checks. Ensuring maximum data integrity, the validation data and contextual information used for plausibility checks are retained within SQL-databases (e.g. DB2, Oracle, SQL Server, etc.). Should a situation arise where the document cannot be cor-rected or verified immediately, such as what might occur if a customer care representative needs to respond, then the document is placed into a suspended state and forwarded to an exception item workstation or to a manual process for on-going processing. Papyrus Client/Capture is the browser-based or thick client end-user interface for all user interactions within a inbound mail capture system. It enables the completion, correction and classification of inbound documents along with full GUI functionality for the displaying of documents and manual validation. Other features include:

Uniform handling of scans, faxes and e-mails��Context aware editable fields for data entry��Interactive verification of recognized data��Image display of snippets or whole pages��Free message text and user hints��

Data masks for accessing all administrator and even design-��er functions.

Customized “Document Workplace” that can handle ex-��tended requirements for manual input processing such as rearranging the sequence of sheets or exchanging pages within documents.

Case Study:

TelecomThe Customer

The Telekom Austria group is Austria’s leading provider of telecommunication services in both stationary and mobile net-works.

The Requirements In order to meet the demands of an increasingly competitive marketplace, Telekom Austria restructured its case manage-ment operations to expand service offerings. These included centralizing its processing throughout Austria, and higher automation of the incoming mail. However, the transactions relating to services such as installing new telephone lines, changing of telephone numbers, issuing invoices, or changes in tariffs, typically involve information interaction with its cus-tomers via paper or E-mail. In the case of Telekom Austria, the content of more than 10,000 letter and fax documents daily including returns of marketing campaigns, needed to be distributed fast and reliably to the appropriate departments within the organization for ongoing processing. This demanded a well integrated solution capable of high levels of automation, accurate distribution of docu-ments, and the rapid introduction of new document types.

The Concept Telekom Austria’s scan center in Vienna was chosen as the centralized distribution point for all the incoming mail. The entire process involving customer correspondence required re-structuring, from the digitalization of incoming data (e.g. customer mail and business documents) through long-term archiving of information with fast and transparent data access available, on demand, at the desktop. ISIS Papyrus offered a solution based upon Papyrus Capture products that created a transparent portal between the incoming paper documents and the digital information resi-dent within the system’s domain. The implementation of Papyrus Capture also provided the basis for the introduction of further case management workflow at Telekom Austria.

The Solution Two high volume scanners process the huge daily volume with the automatic document sorting and information extrac-tion being performed by Papyrus Capture. Unstructured mail and documents are classified by the FreeForm® subsystem, and the index information is automatically extracted.

Highlights

Accepts all document types��Powerful design tools that simplify the definition of new ��document types and extensive use of supervised “machine learn by example” techniques

Smooth permanent system enhancements with minimal ��disruption to the operation

From the initial 30 forms the system has expanded signifi-��cantly and is currently handling in excess of more than 100 document types, forms, all invoices, customer letters etc.

The customer’s mail is typically distributed to the designat-��ed case management personnel throughout Austria within maximum 4 hours after being received

High automation rates reached (up to > 98%, depending on ��document type)

Decision Criteria

Capable of processing large daily volumes with high accu-��racy

Intuitive and productive user interfacing during the data ��completion process (Verification Module)

Improved performance benefits (number of documents per ��employee hour)

A flexible and comprehensive design environment to read-��ily adapt the system for new tasks

Easy integration to SAP, Host, CRM (Clarify), SQL Customer ��database

MOTIVATIONS for INNOVATIONS

Motivation: Increase responsiveness and thus cus-tomer satisfaction

Innovation: Homogeneous and central handling of all types of inbound mail

Solution: Papyrus Capture System for maximum document automation

“Having learned to use the new tool and successfully integrated the capture system into our existing systems we obtained a high level of transparency, which not only achieved new processing targets but also improved our customer’s perception and, hence, improved acceptance of our products.”

PAPYRUS EYEWebArchive - Electronic Originals

Short Term and Long Term Archiving Multiple WebArchive servers per-form the long-term and short-term archiving onto the media of your choice. Storage management attri-butes for each object ensure that it is automatically archived as soon as it reaches the appropriate state. There are no archive runs or conversions that are necessary and if the pro-cess requires proof of originality and authenticity then the archived items can be digitally signed at any point in the process. A WebArchive can consist of any number of servers and can either use its own index or an external DB index. BLOBS can be stored native-ly on disk where they can then be subsequently stored and retrieved from/to a third party archive, or some external database. Furthermore, a WebArchive is not dependent on any particular hardware.

e-document Delivery and Customer Care Web Access One or more WebPortal servers can be deployed to supply the Papyrus Eye FLASH user interface or alternatively each user can work on their own node using a PC. Dynamically created from definitions in the repository and not through the coding of a GUI the WebPortal can automatically create global modifications of the presentation through changes to the meta-data in the repository. Document viewing options are PDF, AFP, GIF, TIF.

Full integration with Output Management All documents can be reprinted on any standard laser printer, faxed or e-mailed. ‘Copy’ or ‘duplicate’ information is automati-cally added by the system at time of print.

Case Management is about receiving information, getting the right information to the right people and having the right processes in place to enable people to act at the right time in order to respond appropriately. This requires a busi-ness communication platform that offers Closed-loop Case Management for the consolidation of Inbound and Outbound business communications on a single flexible platform. The business process is created through the simple assembly of user-definable ITEMS in a CASE folder. This enables a holistic view of, for example, an insurance case whilst also providing built-in support for the process time-line.

The Papyrus Process and Content Platform integrates Case Management with ECM, BPM, Databases, Time Travel (past and future) and a Rule Engine for case definitions. The central WebRepository in the system defines, controls and version manages the meta-data for all business cases containing data, documents, questions, rules and previous activities. Relieving the Business from traditional programming in languages such as Java and .NET the benefits are substantial; because agile processes make for a Business that is in much more control.
