EMC has introduced a new Auto Learning capability to the latest version of its Captiva capture solution, allowing for automated classification and and extraction of important business information from documents as they are being rapidly scanned.

The Production Auto Learning feature accelerates the capture processes for invoices, loan documents, policy claims, and many other document types. EMC claims to have jumped ahead of competitive solutions that often rely on project administrators to create templates up front or human operators to perform time-consuming extra steps during validation in order to indicate documents properties.

By automating template creation, EMC says Captiva can shorten project setup from days or weeks to a matter of hours, reducing configuration time up to 90%.

EMC has also run tests to show a single Captiva server can now process more than 10 million images per day.

Captiva now features new customisation and integration options that simplify deployment using drag-and-drop processes.
