The Cloud Extraction Service feature allows for large-scale document processing with enhanced speed and cross-platform flexibility, eliminating the need for additional infrastructure or Bot Runners. It offers benefits such as scalability and faster response times compared to traditional Task Bot extraction methods.

The Cloud Extraction Service feature is useful for organizations having the following requirements:

  • Process requests faster in a typical front office environment
  • Process large volumes of documents quickly
  • Automatically scale based on document volumes, ensuring consistent performance
  • Eliminate the need to invest in setting up and managing own infrastructure

Benefits

The following image shows some of the benefits of using Cloud Extraction Service:

Cloud Extraction Service benefits: Scalability, Speed, Accuracy, Visibility, Cross-platform

Scalability
  • Processes high volumes of documents without needing to scale local infrastructure.
  • Achieves predictable throughput without managing large numbers of Bot Runners.
Speed
  • Achieves faster response times to support time-sensitive and high-volume use cases.
  • Reduces deployment delays that typically happen in Task Bot execution.
Cross-platform flexibility
Removes dependency on the operating system or customer hardware.

Comparison: Cloud Extraction Service and Task Bot extraction

Cloud Extraction Service Task Bot extraction
Handles high volume of documents without adding infrastructure or Bot Runners. Predictable throughput. Needs more Bot Runners to scale.
Supports use cases that need faster response times. No deployment delays Slower execution. Each request has deployment overhead via Bot Agent.
Removes dependency on the operating system or customer hardware. Dependent on support for extraction package availability across multiple environments.

Availability

Note: The Cloud Extraction Service feature is supported by infrastructure hosted in Amazon Web Services (AWS). Use of this functionality is optional, and customers who do not want their data to be processed in AWS might choose not to use it.
