Enterprise organizations collect massive volumes of unstructured data, such as images, handwritten text, documents, and more. They also still capture much of this data through manual processes. The way to leverage this for business insight is to digitize that data. One of the biggest challenges with digitizing the output of these manual processes is transforming this unstructured data into something that can actually deliver actionable insights.
