Kodak Alaris has announced the integration of generative AI with its Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) software, KODAK Info Input Solution. This new capability makes it easy for organizations to delegate more work to trusted AI services to automate complex document processing tasks with improved speed and accuracy.

The goal of Intelligent Document Processing (IDP), or indeed any form of document automation, is no-touch or ‘straight-through’ processing, eliminating the need for time-consuming and often tedious manual intervention.

Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) is everywhere, and so are widespread, cross-industry discussions about how humans fit into the equation. In the world of intelligent document processing (IDP), when considering the promise of faster, scalable, more accurate processing, it’s no surprise that GenAI technology is on the forefront of everyone’s minds.

Dropbox has announced Dropbox Dash for Business - the latest iteration of its AI-powered universal search product - is now available in the US, with availability in international markets in early 2025.

Achieving optimal records management requires a hybrid approach, combining centralised records management for vital information and manage-in-place for general administrative records.
