At thebig data eraAs a result, companies are faced with ever-increasing volumes of data. Although these data represent a major development driverTheir processing is a complex and demanding task.

Data entry: an unavoidable business task

What is corporate data? These are nothing less than all the documents circulating within the company: administrative documents, tax documents, accounting documents, invoices, sales proposals, contracts, purchase orders, communication media, polls and surveys... All this data is kept in a storage space, whether physical or virtual. It is from here that the company can consult and exploit them.

Data capture involves digitizing all this information and making it available on a computer or in the cloud.. No need to waste time in the archive room to consult a document.
