Intelligent document processing (IDP)

as a key technology for the professions of the future

The world of work is changing rapidly. New roles are emerging, existing tasks are changing—and technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and automation are playing a central role in this.

I find it particularly exciting that many of the professions currently in focus have something in common: they require confident handling of growing amounts of data and the ability to design processes efficiently. This is exactly where Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) comes into play.

Why IDP is so relevant for the future of work

In almost every department—whether finance, purchasing, logistics, or customer service—we see the same trend: the amount of information and documents is constantly increasing. Invoices, contracts, delivery notes, and orders come in a wide variety of formats and need to be processed.

IDP solves precisely this problem:

  • Automated capture: Data is read directly from documents, regardless of layout or source.
  • Precise validation: Errors caused by manual entry are minimized.
  • Seamless integration: All relevant data flows automatically into ERP, CRM, or workflow systems.

The result: less routine work – more time for value-adding activities.

Which professions benefit most

Business Process Owner

Your goal is to make processes efficient. With IDP, processes can be digitized end-to-end and made more transparent.

Sustainability Manager

Sustainability also means less paper and less waste of resources. IDP enables paperless processes and reduces unnecessary transport and archiving costs.

AI and data specialists

Clean data is essential for analyses and machine learning applications. IDP ensures that unstructured documents are converted into usable data.

Finance and accounting experts

From invoice processing to annual financial statements: IDP accelerates processes, reduces errors, and creates space for strategic tasks.
