An example of one such a business form is an invoice that is presented for payment. Invoices  contain all the same information (i.e. vendor name, date of invoice, purchase order number, terms, and amount due), but they often  look different. Therefore, it is very difficult to use a standard template for extracting data from invoices.  Until recently the data extraction from this type of form was performed by manual data entry into an accounts payable application. 

Other examples are: 
Payment Vouchers - Every payment received will have a different layout for the remittance advice attached to the check. 

Utility Bills - These documents have both fixed and variable locations for the data on each bill. The top is usually the same, but the amount due section of the document will almost always fluctuate in length and position. 

Business Checks - Personal checks all look alike for the most part. However, each business will use a check document that is totally different from another. Thus, the document becomes a "dynamic form," and one will need dynamic capability in order to process it. 

Through the use of CereSoft, Inc.'s proprietary CereberalNet technology, DocAgent actually reads each document, locates the needed information, and moves that data through a validation and correction procedure for export to an ASCII file, or any ODBC compliant database. 

This revolutionary new breakthrough from CereSoft, Inc. will allow automated processing in a multitude of new applications. 

DocAgent will also automatically sort, index, and capture your documents in a production environment 

DocAgent was awarded the prestigious "Best of AIIM" award for New Products in the Document Processing category at the 1999 AIIM show in Atlanta.
