Digitize your paper documents, use it as big data

Paper documents are still important to businesses, but in the era of emerging big data, these documents would be better off digitized, as they would fit together with the way companies use big data, and will lower costs and increase efficiency.

Big data might be popular, and becoming even more so, but paper documents and file keeping are still very important to businesses.

Important information is kept on paper, such as billing, claims-processing and accounts-payable records, ComputerWeekly reported.

That’s why companies should focus on digitizing documents through document capture, which is an important first step of business process automation. Once digitized, the information on these papers could be useful in big data analytics processes.
