Intelligent Document Processing

IRISXtract

IRISXtract through Canon IMS: Canon’s own AI-based capture platform that classifies documents and extracts data in 139+ languages, on-premises or in the cloud.

Where a document becomes structured data

IRISXtract sits at the front of a document process. Its AI-based classification engine works out what a document is with a free-form, full-text approach that needs no templates, extracts the fields that matter and hands them to the ERP, CRM, ECM or BPM system that needs them. All technology in IRISXtract is intellectual property of I.R.I.S., part of the Canon Group.

The Capture layer of the Canon Information Orchestration Framework

Canon organises information management in four movements: Capture, Content, Communicate and Process. IRISXtract is Canon’s own engine for the Capture layer: it turns incoming paper, PDFs and email into validated data, so every step after it works with facts instead of documents someone still has to read.

Capture done right is what makes the rest of the chain automatable.

Classification without templates

Before a document can enter a process, someone has to work out what it is. IRISXtract classifies each document automatically with AI, using its full text rather than fixed templates, and routes it to the right extraction logic without anyone opening it first.

Review only what needs reviewing

Every extracted field carries a confidence score. Only fields below the threshold go to a person for validation, so review time goes to genuine exceptions instead of re-checking data the system already got right.

Send us a few of your own documents and see how IRISXtract classifies them and extracts the data, live with a Canon IMS consultant.

Ready-made modules for invoices, orders and the mailroom

Pre-configured applications cover accounts payable, purchase order capture and digital mailroom automation, so a first process can go live without building everything from scratch. Results flow into your ERP or archive as structured data.

Any format, any language

PDFs, scans, photos and email attachments all produce the same structured output, with OCR in more than 139 languages and dialects. Intelligent High Quality Compression makes scanned images up to 50 times smaller while keeping them searchable, which matters for long-term archiving.

A Canon technology, deployed where you choose

IRISXtract is developed by I.R.I.S. in Belgium, part of the Canon Group since 2013. It runs on-premises or in the cloud, as a multi-application or multi-tenant platform, so your documents stay in the environment you control.

Key benefits

Less manual work: Documents are classified and their data extracted automatically, so staff stop typing and sorting.

Higher data quality: Confidence scores and validation rules catch errors before data reaches your ERP or archive.

Faster processes: Invoices, orders and incoming mail move into the process within minutes instead of days.

One engine for every document stream: The same platform handles invoices, orders, mail and forms, in any format and language.

Where it fits

IRISXtract is our choice for organisations that want a proven, Canon-owned capture engine for invoices, orders and incoming mail, on-premises or in the cloud, often combined with IRISPowerscan for high-volume scanning. Where a process needs broad AI skills for very varied documents, or deep orchestration around capture, ABBYY Vantage or Tungsten TotalAgility may fit better.

We propose what fits your process, not what we happen to sell.

How does IRISXtract relate to IRISPowerscan?
