What we do
Capture first. Then AI, integration, and leadership around it.
Most automation problems start with documents. We specialize in getting them captured, classified, and extracted reliably, then build what the business needs on top.

Intelligent document processing on Kofax TotalAgility and IBM Datacap

Modernization layer
Applied AI for document workflows
Built on years of trainable machine learning classification and extraction in production, now extended with large language models and Tungsten’s DocAI tools: harder documents, smarter exception handling, and less manual review, on a capture foundation that is already reliable.
Integration
.NET development and data integration
C#, VB.NET, and ASP.NET components and utilities that connect capture to line-of-business applications and databases on SQL Server and Oracle.
Leadership
Capture strategy and project leadership
Capture strategy and governance, professional services delivery, and leadership of cross-functional teams on large, multi-department projects.
