Every document automation project starts the same way. You pick a tool, write some code, test it on a handful of documents — and it works. Fields are extracted, outputs look right. You ship it.
Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) is a category of software that extracts structured data from unstructured documents — automatically, reliably, and at scale.
Azure Document Intelligence (formerly Form Recognizer) is Microsoft’s managed IDP service. It handles invoices, receipts, purchase orders, and ID documents well — out of the box, with no custom training required for standard formats.
