World-class Enterprise Document Capture and Mailroom Automation
ITESOFT.FreeMind Enterprise is an Intelligent Document Capture solution that automatically transforms the entire stream of incoming documents received by your company into useable and meaningful business data.
Much more than just an imaging solution
ITESOFT.FreeMind Enterprise goes far beyond traditional imaging software. It doesn’t just capture document images so people can retype relevant data into your system by hand. This solution rises above all others in its field by reading documents in their entirety to accurately understand the content and apply automatic processing rules to maximise speed and minimise manual intervention.
Beyond Paper ... introducing Multi-Channel Capture
Email is used more and more for business document exchange instead of faxes and even postal mail. It is the main delivery mechanism for electronic documents. With increased volumes, traditional and straight forward manual handling – slow and error prone – expose receivers to exponential costs of processing. Private and public sector alike must look at alternatives. Putting robust solutions in place for capturing inbound emails to their business processes in parallel to their paper capture flows becomes imperative.
Capture eMail from ITESOFT is made for that very purpose. It is the gateway module for capturing documents sent by emails into ITESOFT.FreeMind Enterprise.
Award-winning efficiency
ITESOFT.FreeMind Enterprise is a class-leading solution that has proven its performance time after time. The highly-respected consulting firm Pentadoc benchmarked FreeMind Enterprise in its Radar comparative test as being the best performing solution for automatic document classification and data extraction.

Full process description
Capture and collect: paper and beyond
- In a centralised mailroom via batch capture on medium- to high-volume document scanners.
- At remote offices branch locations using browser-based scan module for desktop scanners of any size and form factor.
- Via e-mail servers (solution reads e-mail content and attached documents).
- From fax systems.
- Anywhere in the organisation using distributed multi-function devices (MFD)
By capturing documents directly at the point of contact, FreeMind eliminates the risk of losing documents, while reducing transport costs and avoiding having to handle documents multiple times.
Identify, classify, split documents automatically
Once documents are captured, FreeMind Enterprise’s unique proprietary classification technologies recognise document types, and detect and validate complex document set structures automatically. The solution invokes business rules adapted to your precise needs and documents that are read correctly are processed without any staff intervention at all. In case of doubt, documents are sent to an exception handling module for attention.
Benefit:- Eliminates nearly all complex document preparation and visual image tagging in the mailroom.
- Accelerates distribution of documents to the right people or processes for faster cycle execution.
Extract and validate data
FreeMind Enterprise uses its advanced OCR/ICR technology to read data from all scanned documents, from machine-printed and handwritten text to barcodes and check-boxes, both on regular forms and non-standard documents of any kind. After data is read, business rules are applied to verify data accuracy. Any failure or doubt causes documents to be routed to a human operator to handle the exception. The operator then checks the particular document with an interface that shows the document image and makes it easy to confirm the extracted data in its original context.
Benefit:- OCR/ICR technology significantly reduces manual data entry
- Saves handling costs and accelerates document release into business processes.
Handle exceptions and QA
FreeMind Enterprise provides an intuitive and productive environment for verifying documents and extracted data visually when human intervention is required. Only a fraction of the total number of documents or fields are ever presented to a user, but when it happens, the ITESOFT.FreeMind Enterprise QA module and its friendly interface foster user acceptance and productivity, which both ultimately lead to better data quality. This module as available both as a rich interface browser-based application that can be deployed locally and remotely throughout your organisation, or as a fast Microsoft Windows® thick-client application.
Benefit:- Increases productivity and comfort for operators.
- Web-based exception handling module enables flexible work assignment across geographically distant sites.
Export documents and data
The last step of the process is to transfer document images, metadata and content data to your business or ECM system, such as Microsoft SharePoint or ITESOFT.Share.
Benefit:- Leverages any existing ECM or business system.
- Enhances your SharePoint strategy.
- Increases efficiency when you choose the ITESOFT.Share integrated single-source solution.
