Introduction

I. INTRODUCTION

It is expected the global market for industrial automation to reach USD 395.09 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 9.8% from USD 205.86 billion in 2022. The COVID-19 has made an unforeseen and alarming global impact, and demand for industrial automation has been very lower than anticipated in all countries compared to the pre-pandemic levels. According to our study, the global market witnessed a 6.5% drop from 2019 - 2020. The Indian industrial automation market is estimated at $10.72 billion in 2021, and it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 14.26% over the predicted period to USD 23.09 billion by 2027. (2022 - 2027). The market for automation software has expanded due to this progress in the industry, and the SaaS industry has reached its pinnacle.

Software as a service (SaaS) is a software delivery and licensing system in which software purchased in a subscription basis. On-demand software and web-based/web-hosted software are other names for SaaS. Users often utilize a thin client, such as a web browser, to access SaaS software. Nearly all enterprise software companies now include SaaS in their business plans. The acronym first appears in the list of products and services in a trademark application submitted to the USPTO on September 23, 1985. For a while, Microsoft referred to SaaS as "software plus services." IDP is one of the SaaS that is seeing substantial market growth due to the massive amounts of data that businesses and large corporation’s handle.

Unstructured data is processed using intelligent document processing (IDP). Unstructured and semi-structured data form can be transformed into structured form, useable information, providing document-centric business processes end-to-end automation. To enable end-to-end, business process automation, IDP automatically extracts information from any business document. Only after integration with the organization's ERP is IDP viable.

II. WHAT IS IDP

The next phase of automation, known as intelligent document processing, can capture, extract, and process data from various document formats. It classifies, categories, and extracts pertinent information using AI technologies including natural language processing (NLP), computer vision, deep learning, and machine learning (ML), and then validates the data that has been extracted.

Intelligent document processing (IDP) solutions turn semi- and unstructured data into usable information. The core of digital transformation is business data, but 80% of it is contained in unstructured formats including business documents, emails, photos, and PDF files.

VI. FINDINGS

In a developing nation like India, smart machines, robots, and other forms of automation might either be a poison or a cure for the economy. This development will have an impact on how firms around the world outsource work. According to a study by Deloitte that was commissioned by the Autodesk Foundation, India ranks ninth in terms of level of preparedness and fifth in terms of the impact of automation.

Due of its higher employment ratios in manufacturing, construction, and agriculture, India is more likely to be affected by automation.

One more important reason is that Lack of standardisation in India is one of the important reasons for lack of automation, only when the business process is completely standardized and proven to be efficient it can be automated. So concentration on Standardization is much required.

VII. RECOMMENDATIONS

The transition toward Complete Standardization, digital transformation, rising adoption of cloud-based IDP solutions, and the increasing demand for businesses to process large volumes of structured, unstructured/ semi structured documents with greater accuracy & speed are the main factors for the growth of the IDP market.

The adoption of intelligent document processing systems is being driven by the growing need to streamline corporate processes, adapt intelligent workflows, and constantly improve workflows to increase responsiveness' dynamic requirements.

Intelligent document processing solutions that are cloud-based enable SMEs and large businesses to concentrate on their core capabilities rather than IT procedures. The use of predictive capabilities throughout the entire enterprise has been made simple for users due to the cloud-based deployment of IDP. Large-scale cloud-based offerings of intelligent document processing technologies will boost their adoption among SMEs and increase consumer reliance on such solutions.

Other significant drivers increasing the growth of the IDP market in this area include fast economic development, globalization, digitization, and rising use of cloud-based technologies. Additionally, the APAC banking sector is always investing in recent cutting-edge technology to improve the banking experience for customers. This will encourage APAC to adopt solutions and services for intelligent document processing.

Conclusion

It is obvious that there are many advantages to using Intelligent Document Processing systems, and this list may not even be comprehensive. If you use these solutions in your company, you might also discover other, less typical, and possibly even unexpected advantages of Intelligent Document Processing. Implementation of IDP in business is taking business to many folds higher. Even though India haven’t implemented IDP so far in larger extent we hope down the line in 2-3 years business processes automation (IDP) will happen in India and create greater Impact in Business. Needless, to say, the number of documents is going to increase many folds with the transformation of business digitally. It is indeed a big problem to process the document manually with high accuracy. Hence IDP is the best solution to streamline the business operations, to reduce cost and to increase productivity.
