01732 759725 26 Kodak Alaris launches next gen IDP solution Kodak Alaris has launched KODAK Info Input Solution IDP (intelligent document processing) software Version 7.5. The latest release introduces more native AI integrations and streamlined administrative capabilities for faster job creation and easier management, enabling organisations to make better decisions from better data – from any document, in any context. KODAK Info Input Solution takes the guesswork out of the complex world of AI and provides an open platform for organisations to connect to their preferred services via native integrations with the latest AI models from hyperscalers including Google, AWS, and Microsoft. Version 7.5 makes it even easier for organisations to delegate more work to trusted AI services to automate complex document processing tasks with improved speed and accuracy. This latest update builds on the IDP platform’s existing connectors with industry-leading tools such as Google Doc AI, Microsoft Document Intelligence, Hyperscience, Amazon Textract and ABBYY Extraction, to include native integrations with Google Gemini, AWS Bedrock Data Automation, ChatGPT, and BoxAI. Advanced AI technology combined with human intelligence ensures accuracy and reliability in data extraction and processing. Other developments include smarter assignment and validation features for faster throughput and a new drag-and-drop graphical workflow editor for simpler and faster process design. Version 7.5 also sees the integration of the IRIS OCR engine at no extra cost – creating searchable PDF/A documents with AI-based indexing to make information easy to find across repositories by both content and metadata. Info Input 7.5 makes it easier to fully automate document workflows, from classification and separation to data extraction, indexing, and validation. By eliminating time intensive manual checks, it makes data extraction faster and more reliable, enabling organisations to unlock greater business value at speed and scale. The IDP platform can handle any document from any source, including unstructured or handwritten files, and automatically verify critical details such as legal references, threshold amounts, and content plausibility. Automatic summarisation provides a quick overview of multi page documents or email threads, helping employees classify processes faster and save time on recurring routine tasks. “Our mission is to make document intelligence open, application-oriented, and sustainable for the long-term,” said Graham Etherington, Solutions Director, Kodak Alaris. “Info Input Solution 7.5 does exactly that – we reduce complexity, create more room for innovation, and enable customers to implement automation faster and continuously develop their processes in line with advances in AI.” www.kodakalaris.com WHAT’S NEW Zerto-powered DR service IT managed services provider Assured Data Protection has expanded its disaster recovery (DR) portfolio with a new service powered by Zerto, an HPE company. The solution is designed for organisations operating mixed hypervisor environments that require highly aggressive recovery point and recovery time objectives. The service leverages Zerto’s host-based replication technology, enabling customers to maintain existing VMware or alternative hypervisor environments while achieving bestin-class recovery performance. It also offers flexibility for organisations reconsidering their VMware commitment in light of Broadcom’s acquisition, rising licensing costs, and evolving support models. Tony Giannini, Vice President of Global Innovation at Assured said: “Our partnership with Zerto enables us to provide ultra-low RPOs and RTOs for critical applications, independent of hardware, and with the flexibility to transition to Nutanix whenever customers choose. Just as importantly, Assured can customise protection levels by application, so customers aren’t paying highestcommon-denominator prices across the board. This is the perfect complement to our Rubrik Cyber-Resilience solutions to ensure an organisation is resilient against cyber, natural, and other disasters.” The solution groups applications by business criticality, ensuring the right level of protection at the right price. Mission critical workloads can benefit from Zerto’s near zero RPOs, while less time sensitive data can be protected more cost effectively using Rubrik’s immutable backup capabilities. According to Michael Lebo, Global Zerto MSP Leader, by combining HPE Zerto Software host-based replication technology with Assured’s managed service expertise, customers gain a proven, scalable foundation for modern disaster recovery. The addition strengthens Assured’s broader portfolio, offering enterprises a flexible, future proof framework for data protection and business continuity as they modernise their infrastructure. www.assured-dp.com
