The Cardiff Intelligent Document is a new breed of business accelerating solutions. Created by breathing intelligence into electronic and paper documents, the Cardiff Intelligent Document is cognizant of its content, its environment and most importantly the rules that underlie your business.

The embedded intelligence in these supercharged documents provides a rich user experience while ensuring the accuracy of the information collected. It knows the next step in the process, while allowing for human decision points and exception handling. It has the ability to initiate interactions with business systems as needed.

The result: smoother processing for both your customers and your staff, dramatically reduced costs, and complete visibility. It’s as if an Invisible Workforce has stepped in to support your business goals.

Cardiff provides insight and control across in-process activities and unstructured information. Having a better understanding of information and how people use that information enables real-time action and improved decision-making.

Meaning-Based Computing (MBC)

Unlike other approaches, Autonomy Cardiff embraces the unstructured and human element of business processes and turns the variability of information and human behavior into tangible business advantages. Autonomy’s fundamentally different approach uses Meaning-Based Computing (MBC) to look across all real-time business process related data, as well as any other data sources, and automatically forms an understanding of that information. The solution then uses that understanding to automate the process lifecycle, providing the right information at the right place and time. This approach ensures complete compliance and provides management with full visibility into the business with comprehensive dashboards, analytics and reporting.

Open, Non-Proprietary Formats And Standards

Cardiff is the only provider of Intelligent Documents using open, non-proprietary formats and standards to maximize user experience and leverage existing enterprise systems. Not surprising then that over 8,000 of the world's largest organizations believe that a key to their competitiveness and success today is their ability to automate their processes with Cardiff Intelligent Documents.

The Cardiff Portfolio – Intelligent Document Elements

People. Information. Processes. Collectively, their interaction determines the level of success for your organization. And the initiation point of this interaction is often a form or document, a collection of information that then passes between people and systems. Cardiff's products serve as Intelligent Document Elements that capture information and navigate the process behind each form or document in a way that improves efficiency, manages complexity, allows for rapid change and enhances the customer experience. The elements that comprise Cardiff's Intelligent Document platform are:

Paper Document Processing Scan

TeleForm, automatically captures data from paper forms and documents, validates the data and passes it to enterprise systems, such as Cardiff LiquidOffice and other ECM, ERP and CRM applications. Bringing all data online helps ensure data accuracy, reduces operating costs and accelerates business processes. TeleForm operates locally or remotely, leveraging Web-based connectivity to transmit data from paper to remote applications or systems.

Electronic Forms

LiquidOffice eForms provides the complete infrastructure needed to put form and document processes online, connecting forms with database, ERP, accounting and back-office applications. Through the distribution and automation of organizational forms-including expense reports, purchase orders, and time-off requests-you will significantly increase worker productivity. LiquidOffice eForms is a complete interactive business solution that leverages open standards.

Business Process Management

LiquidOffice offers powerful business process management (BPM) that integrates information, process and people in an adaptive, rapidly deployed environment. LiquidOffice encompasses the entire BPM lifecycle from design and simulation to deployment and optimization. However it goes well beyond traditional BPM. LiquidOffice embeds intelligence within forms enabling them to securely navigate the process between people and systems, offering visibility into each step of the process and a complete audit trail. Integration of Autonomy's leading information retrieval technology makes LiquidOffice the first and only BPM solution with real-time access to information in process.

LiquidOfficeBPM SDK is designed to address the needs of ISV's who need a process engine component that can be easily and flexibly embedded. This is an API-rich, small-footprint process engine designed from the ground up for embedded use.
