how to choose the right
software provider
how to
choose the right software provider
The simplest test will quickly narrow the field of software providers that can deliver the outcomes you need. Studies have proven that the following factors are critical for successful Zero-Touch digitisation.
The system is not OCR dependent. Optical Character Recognition (OCR) cannot achieve the accuracy or the trust required for Zero-Touch.

The system is not AI dependent. Artificial Intelligence often learns badly in unstructured data environments resulting in costly errors.

PDF-to-EDI benchmark testing
In early 2020, a Global Fortune 500 company engaged a team of technologists in Boston MA to test the leading document digitisation systems to determine which software was the best for Zero-Touch outcomes.
Converting PDF Customer Purchase Orders into digital EDI files is complex, requiring accuracy and precision. The technologists refined their list of PDF-to-EDI software providers to the top nine.
The technologists then set about implementing each of the top nine platforms for live testing of critical use cases across thousands of actual customer purchase orders.
Despite a David versus the Goliaths battle, months of testing Portalink outperformed all of the other systems proving that it is the best-of-breed.
The findings proved that systems that the other systems dependent on OCR and/or Artificial Intelligence cannot capture data with sufficient accuracy to be trusted for Zero-Touch. The testing also proved that the systems that are built-for-purpose, externally managed and supported by the vendor had a much higher success rating than SaaS systems that require self-management.
