DBS AND MULTIPASS SOLUTIONS LIMITED WIN BEST CLOUD BASED PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION AWARD IN THE ASIAN BANKER TECHNOLOGY IMPLEMENTATION AWARDS PROGRAMME 2014

  • DBS pioneered an intelligent data-entry solution through private cloud

  • The intelligent data-entry solution, combined with optical character recognition, provides automated form recognition, breaking down full pages into separate snippets of data

  • New forms are processed twice as quickly due to snippet processing

Kuala Lumpur, May 21st 2014 – DBS and its technology partner Multipass Solutions Limited have been named the winners of the Best Cloud Based Project Implementation Project Award during the eighth Asian Banker Technology Implementation Awards Programme, held at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre, Kuala Lumpur on May 21st 2014. The awards ceremony was held in conjunction with The Asian Banker Summit 2014, the foremost annual meeting for decision makers in the financial services industry in the Asia Pacific region.

DBS and Multipass Solutions rolled out a pioneer solution which uses a private cloud based on a high-availability service to handle multi-site, multi-country intelligent data entry. This new-generation solution provides intelligent data entry through automated form recognition by breaking down full pages to separate snippets of data. Its optical character recognition and intelligent character recognition capabilities, together with a fast snippet data entry web application, enable expedited data entry of the contents of selected fields of scanned forms. The solution resulted in significant reduction in paper processing and processing time, improving productivity by 40% within the first week of implementation. Merchant summary ticket processing is 63% faster and merchant sales slip processing is 55% faster.

BESIDES ALLOWING CLIENTS TO ACCELERATE PROCESSING TIMES THE MAIN BENEFITS INCLUDE:

  • ensuring data confidentiality even when data entry is outsourced abroad

  • flexibility to adapt the solution to any type of document or form on short notice

The award winning document and form processing solution is designed to receive data from major scanning or document processing software. Once the scanned images are on board and their quality is improved, the document type is automatically recognized using fingerprinting technology. Next, the scanned image is fragmented into tiny information “snippets”, which are meaningless on their own, to guarantee the confidentiality of the data. Then these snippets are subjected to optical character recognition (OCR, ICR) and distributed to multiple users for manual data entry. This guarantees faster data processing and near 100% accuracy, since the outcomes of automated recognition and manual data entry are automatically cross-checked, without human interference. The latter drastically reduces, or even eliminates, personnel costs related to supervising the process. Thus, all data entry can be outsourced to any part of the world without the risk of sensitive company or user information leaking out. At the end of the process, all the results are loaded directly to the company ECM or enterprise systems, with all the necessary metadata and access rights.
