Integration enables expansive automation of unstructured data and
scanned documentation with NEVA as well as NICE’s unattended robots

HOBOKEN, N.J.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–NICE (Nasdaq: NICE) today announced that its Robotic
Process Automation (RPA) platform now incorporates additional
Artificial Intelligence (AI) capabilities to rapidly streamline the
processing of unstructured data contained in scanned documentation. As
an expansion of its existing partnership with ABBYY, the integration of
FlexiCapture Distributed delivers an innovative, end to end processing
solution that uniquely and seamlessly integrates with NEVA
(NICE Employee Virtual Attendant, designed to assist human employees
from the desktop), and the NICE unattended robots (designed to automate
tasks in the backend server). This unique approach seamlessly brings
full digitization to both front and back office processes, enabling
organizations to more comprehensively achieve their digital
transformation goals.

Manual processing of data from scanned documents, such as invoices or
contracts, in large volumes, is a pain point keenly felt by enterprises
today. This accounts for significant time wastage and increased
processing errors, driving up operating expenses. Over 25% of 200
Accounts Payable professionals surveyed by Hyland¹ last year
in the 2018
State of Accounts Payable Report cite too many paper documents as
their top AP challenge, while nearly the same amount said there is too
much manual data entry as their pain points. More than 50% of those
surveyed¹ in the same report say invoice-processing delays
affect their financial operations. In another
recent study commissioned by ABBYY in the UK, a significant 63% of
respondents said they would outsource tasks to a robot it they could.

With the expanded cognitive capabilities of NICE’s unattended robots,
data from scanned documentation can now easily be extracted, categorized
and transformed into structured data using ABBYY FlexiCapture’s learning
algorithms. NICE’s unattended robots then swiftly ingest the data and
insert it, for example, into a number of ERP applications, thereby
ensuring data consistency throughout the enterprise. In the event of an
error or exception during the data extraction process, the integrated
offering uniquely aligns with NEVA to automatically identify this and
immediately initiate a conversation with a human employee, prompting
them to manually input the correct or missing data in real-time.
Furthermore, the integration with ABBYY FlexiCapture Distributed has
augmented NICE’s robots with capabilities to learn from and mimic human
behavior, while processing scanned documentation. This enables the full
automation of process errors or exceptions without the need for human
intervention over time.

Barry Cooper, President, NICE Enterprise Group, said, “We are
pleased to expand our partnership with ABBYY and to offer customers the
most innovative, wide-ranging document processing solution that uniquely
aligns with NEVA, the market’s first employee focused attendant, to
offer desktop assistance as well as our unattended robots that automate
tasks in the back end. Enriching content and document processing with
greater cognitive intelligence goes a long way in making interactions
memorable while also offering greater operational efficiencies. Via this
integration, our customers are empowered to improve business performance
and ROI while delivering uncompromising customer experiences.

Neil Murphy, Vice President, Head of Global Business Development,
ABBYY, said, “We’re excited to expand our partnership with NICE, who
we believe have a novel approach to RPA and to integrating our
leading-edge FlexiCapture Distributed solution into its platform. Of
particular interest is the alignment with NICE RPA’s NEVA innovation,
which further enhances the capabilities of the integration. We’re sure
our technology will bring great value to NICE and we look forward to
taking our partnership to new heights.
