What is IBM Datacap?
IBM Datacap is IBM's document capture platform. It scans or ingests documents, classifies them, recognizes text with OCR and ICR, extracts and validates data with configurable rulesets, and exports documents and data to IBM FileNet, other repositories and business systems. Applications are built in Datacap Studio and operated through Datacap Navigator, and Datacap is available in IBM Cloud Pak for Business Automation. TechTiera builds, upgrades, tunes and supports Datacap applications.

How TechTiera approaches IBM Datacap work
Where Datacap estates lose time
- Rulesets copied between applications and edited separately, so fixes never reach all of them.
- Validation screens showing every field instead of only the low-confidence ones.
- Export failures to FileNet that are retried manually.
- Rulerunner threads sized years ago for different volumes.
TechTiera's Datacap health check finds and fixes these first, before any larger modernization decision.
