Today, organizations generate massive amounts of unstructured content that are dispersed across various locations and systems. This situation poses several challenges, including escalating costs, decreased productivity due to difficulty in finding relevant content, decision-making delays caused by poor metadata quality, and compliance issues.

By moving unstructured content to dedicated content management platforms and connecting this unified repository to line of business applications generating and using content, companies can reduce their costs, the burden on top line business applications, improving their performance and scalability.

Additionally, consolidating unstructured content into a single platform allows for improved information management and compliance, reducing the risk of data breaches and maintaining trust with customers and stakeholders.

In today’s business world, companies face an increasing range of regulatory requirements that they must comply with, including those related to tax, fraud, bribery, competition, data privacy and protection, consumer protection, quality, HSE (Health, Safety and Environment), and more. In addition, organizations must be prepared to respond to audits and investigations that are designed to ensure that they are meeting these requirements. These audits and investigations can be costly and time-consuming, and failing to respond to them adequately and timely can lead to significant fines, reputational damage, and legal liability.

One of the biggest challenges that companies face when responding to an audit or investigation is identifying the relevant information that must be produced. This information is most of the time spread across the organization, “buried” in tens of thousands of documents, emails, audio and video files and other records. Finding and organizing this information can be a daunting task, particularly when time is of the essence.

Responsible for planning, controlling and auditing the company finances and cashflow, the finance department is a crucial component of any business. Though not always obvious, this department is a core enabler of a company’s growth and development. By implementing digital and automated processes to manage and distribute financial documents, finance managers can free up their staff to focus on strategic initiatives and serve the lines of business with accurate and relevant information.

The HR department depends on document-driven processes, usually on paper. Paper requires archiving cabinets, and, in time, the amount of paper stored quickly become unmaintainable. Plus, paper tied to bloated processes slows HR Managers down from doing important work that pushes a business forward. Automation and digitalization can help you to reduce the time it takes to complete your HR tasks without sacrificing quality of work.

SEAL provides a next-generation platform designed to support legal and litigation management by automating case management processes, ensuring secure document handling, and facilitating compliance with legal standards.

Banking

The banking industry is undergoing a digital transformation, and document automation is a crucial component of this process. Banks need to efficiently manage large amounts of unstructured data (documents, emails) scattered across various locations and systems, while ensuring security and regulatory compliance. Document-centric processes require specialized platforms that are optimized for unstructured content
management and automation, as they should not be managed by the core banking or other transactional systems.

The insurance industry faces several challenges, including intense competition, taught compliance regulations, meeting rising customer expectations, and the management of extensive amounts of data and documents.

Automating document-based tasks, including managing internal regulations and policies, risk analysis, claims management, and underwriting policies, is a crucial undertaking, given that many insurance processes rely heavily on documents.

The energy industry is undergoing a transformative shift driven by the need for decarbonization, regulatory pressures, and evolving technological advancements. Key challenges include managing vast amounts of unstructured data, ensuring regulatory compliance, and enhancing operational efficiency. Effective unstructured content management and automation are critical for addressing these challenges, enabling energy companies to streamline operations, reduce costs, and make informed decisions.

Operational excellence is vital in the manufacturing industry. Effective document management and automation is crucial and allows manufacturers to leverage their information to innovate and grow effectively.

The manufacturing industry needs also to ensure regulatory compliance and reduce risks. A massive amount of controlled documentation is necessary, where a mistake at any level can affect the production and the organization’s reputation.

Every aspect of the architectural, engineering and construction project involves an increasing number of documents that must be captured, processed, stored / archived and managed. SEAL enables contractors in the Architectural, Engineering and Construction industry to manage critical corporate content and business processes associated with the Projects (Build) and Operations documentation, thereby attaining compliance with industry regulations, cost reduction and a corresponding increase in operational efficiency.

The transportation and logistics industry generates and manages a vast array of documents daily, from invoices and bills of lading to shipping declarations and cargo manifests. Efficient handling of these unstructured documents is critical to operations. Tasks like adding files to document folders, sharing with external parties, issuing delivery proofs, or ensuring confirmation signatures often involve repetitive, manual processes prone to error.

By automating document workflows, companies can minimize errors, reduce reliance on paper-based processes, and streamline digital operations.
