Document Processing

Deliver enterprise value with high-quality data

Iron Mountain InSight® DXP is a composable, intelligent content platform that serves as your foundation for enterprise-ready AI. The platform uses intelligent document processing  to automatically extract, understand, and validate data at enterprise scale from unstructured content like contracts, forms, emails, images, audio, and video to transform complex documentation into trusted, action-ready insights.

Why is intelligent document processing important?

Intelligent document processing (IDP) is critical because it minimizes the costly operational bottlenecks and compliance risks of manual data entry.

While traditional tools merely copy text, IDP uses generative AI and machine learning to understand context, intent, and meaning. It converts unstructured data, such as multi-page contracts, handwritten forms, and complex tables, into structured, action-ready intelligence.

By automatically extracting and verifying this information, IDP turns slow document workflows into a fast, accurate, and scalable strategic advantage. This foundation enables a smooth transition from simple text capture to autonomous, agentic workflows that can independently process, route, and act on your data.

How does InSight DXP's document processing work?

The platform converts raw document chaos into structured, AI-ready data by executing an automated data lifecycle.

  • First, it discovers and catalogs your data sources to map logical relationships and define document types.
  • Using AI, it digitizes files, detects text locations, and classifies loose pages into organized groups to extract and structure the information.
  • Multiple human reviews validate the outputs if needed, while continuous audit tracking monitors quality.
  • Finally, the platform integrates with downstream applications to export clean data, feeding a self-healing loop that generates 97% processing accuracy.

Drive business results with an AI-driven IDP solution

Transform unstructured documents into usable data

  • Advanced extraction: Digitizes, classifies, and extracts handwritten text, multi-page tables, signatures, and checkboxes.
  • Multi-layered validation: Cross-references sources and routes discrepancies to human-in-the-loop (HITL) review for remediation.
  • Seamless integration: Syncs validated data into your existing IT stack to enable rapid search, queries, and business insights.

Scale critical processes to meet enterprise demands

  • High-volume processing: Handles billions of images annually, supporting 100+ languages across documents, audio, and video. 
  • Human-in-the-loop accuracy: Blends AI with managed services and human reviewers to maintain high precision.
  • Operational visibility: Dashboards deliver visibility into volumes, SLAs, and exceptions for proactive resource allocation.

Leverage adaptive AI solutions to automate your processes

  • Adaptive workflows: Integrates extracted data into flexible workflows and case management to drive business agility
  • Low-code/no-code design: Allows users to build, refine, and deploy workflows using natural language prompts.
  • Automated PII masking: Detects and obscures sensitive data and personally identifiable information (PII) to help maintain compliance.
