Intelligent Document Processing Platforms: Enabling Unstructured Data Extraction with Gen AI

December, 2024

Government e-invoicing mandates, greater integration with enterprise systems, and the rise of Gen AI use cases have driven a surge in IDP adoption. In response, vendors are enhancing their platforms with patented technologies and developing industry-specific IDP solutions to accelerate time to market. Larger enterprise application providers are acquiring IDP vendors to expand their portfolios, fueling industry consolidation and workflow optimization. These advancements have elevated IDP to an essential operational tool within traditional enterprise systems, enabling faster deployments and improved efficiency across business functions.

Both demand- and supply-side trends are covered in Avasant’s Intelligent Document Processing Platforms 2024–2025 Market Insights™ and Intelligent Document Processing Platforms 2024–2025 RadarView™, respectively.
