Enter Astera
After assessing various data extraction solutions in the market, Aclaimant chose Astera . Astera offers a complete data extraction solution that is built to handle a range of unstructured data formats including PDFs, PDF forms, TXT, PRN, RTF, DOC, DOCX, XLS, and XLSX. It combines rule-based data extraction with an enterprise-grade ETL engine to help businesses free data from unstructured files.
Using Astera’s report modeling features, Aclaimaint was able to easily create extraction templates for incoming PDF files and define patterns for extracting data into the desired format. With extraction templates in place, they can reuse them as many times as needed in dataflows to process the incoming claim forms. All they have to do is run a simple dataflow where they use the Report Source object to select the report model and the source file and specify the destination to get output in the desired format.
