Fairfield, NJ – Keypoint Intelligence, the world’s foremost market research firm and independent evaluator of print and smart technology hardware, software, and services, announces that Kodak Alaris has won the Buyers Lab (BLI) 2023-2024 Pacesetter Award: Capture & IDP Partner. Based on research conducted in the North American market but applicable in EMEA as well as APAC, this award recognizes Kodak Alaris as the leader when it comes to being a partner in the areas of document capture and intelligent document processing (IDP).

 

“IDP is becoming a key component in organizations’ overall IT strategies—and for good reason,” said Jamie Bsales, Principal Analyst in Keypoint Intelligence’s Workplace Group. “These solutions quickly capture, extract, and process data, then deliver it to the workflow or application where it is needed. In fact, in a recent Keypoint Intelligence study, IT personnel reported tangible real-world benefits their organizations have seen from IDP implementations: increased efficiency, time savings for knowledge workers, increased data accuracy, and cost savings.”

 

To determine which document imaging and smart workplace vendors lead the market in providing advanced IDP solutions, analysts at Keypoint Intelligence conducted an in-depth study that drilled into more than 40 points of potential differentiation. Topics included market vision, demonstrated leadership in IDP, relevant product portfolio, proven ability to execute, and more. At the conclusion of the analysis, Kodak Alaris was deemed the winner of the BLI 2024-2025 Pacesetter Award: Capture & IDP Partner.

 

Many factors contributed to the company’s strong showing. Kodak Alaris offers an award-winning lineup of class-leading scanners to capture hardcopy documents that are still a common presence in the workspace. Beyond the hardware, the company’s proprietary software solutions intake documents of any complexity—from any source, too—and automatically transforms the data into business-critical information that is validated and integrated directly into downstream systems.

 

“Our research has shown time and again that customers need expert guidance when it comes to what is possible in the realm of intelligent document processing,” Bsales said. “In this study, Kodak Alaris occupies a unique position. It offers best-of-breed capture hardware as well as customizable software that, when combined, simplify the journey from document arrival to usage in business processes—quickly, accurately, and reliably. And just as importantly, Kodak Alaris is focused on raising its channel partners’ abilities in IDP to ensure customers are reaping the benefits of its advanced technologies.”

 

“Kodak Alaris’ unique open intelligence approach to IDP solutions makes it easy to take advantage of the most powerful and advanced machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) technology from the likes of Microsoft, Google, and Amazon,” said Jim Forger, Vice President of Business Solutions at Kodak Alaris. “This approach is one of many reasons that we are able to deliver future-ready solutions and related professional services to our partners and customers around the globe.”
