Automation0 comments

Managing documents used to be a necessary evil — slow, error-prone, and draining valuable time from employees.
Document automation has changed that. It’s reshaping how organizations create, manage, and route documents — making processes more intelligent, scalable, and consistent.

But here’s the real question:
Is document automation the future of all documents? And who’s best equipped to help you get there?

Let’s explore what automation looks like today, how leading organizations are using it, and why partnering with a solution expert like DataBank can make all the difference.

Document automation in action

Document Automation in Action

Document automation isn’t about eliminating paper for the sake of it. It’s about building smarter, digital-first processes that reduce human error, ensure consistency, and give employees time back for high-value work.

Think:

  • Generating contracts, forms, and reports based on live data

  • Automating routing, reviews, and approvals

  • Ensuring version control without email chains or shared drive confusion

It’s already driving results in the real world.

Infirmary Health

One of the largest healthcare systems in Alabama partnered with DataBank to digitize and automate medical record workflows. By streamlining their documentation processes, they improved record accessibility and significantly reduced turnaround times — helping clinical teams get the information they needed, faster.

Maricopa County Clerk of the Superior Court

Faced with a massive backlog of paper and inefficiencies across departments, Maricopa County turned to DataBank for document workflow automation. The results:

  • 55 million images digitized

  • More than 45 years of records made easily searchable and accessible

  • Improved service delivery and reduced administrative burden across the courts

Cleveland Clinic

To support one of the nation’s top-ranked health systems, DataBank implemented secure scanning, indexing, and automation workflows across multiple departments — ensuring critical records were digitized, properly classified, and instantly accessible from any location. The project helped support faster decision-making and better patient outcomes.

Why document automation is growing fast

Why Document Automation Is Growing — Fast

Industries that manage high volumes of complex documents — like healthcare, government, and education — are leading the way in automation adoption. And it’s not hard to see why:

  • Speed: Processes that once took days now take minutes

  • Accuracy: Automated validation helps reduce costly errors

  • Scalability: Systems can grow without adding more manual effort

  • Compliance: Built-in audit trails support regulatory readiness

But automation’s true power is unlocked when it’s aligned to people, process, and goals — not just installed like another software platform.
