Business Requirements and Application Architecture
The first step in developing any Datacap application is to define the business requirements.
The process of defining business requirements includes these steps.
- Identifying the types of documents the application processes
- Identifying the page types that are associated with each document type
- Deciding what data you want to capture from each page
- Specifying the business rules that determine whether the captured data is valid or not
- Determining how to manage documents that have problems, including invalid structures, unrecognizable pages, nonconforming data, or low-confidence character recognition
- Deciding how you want to export or release the data at the end of the workflow
The following topics show how to develop the business requirements for a Datacap application. They show the general Datacap application architecture so that you can begin mapping the business requirements to the application model.
