Brainware, Inc is a privately-held American software company that provides data capture and search solutions, improving control of data-driven business processes. Brainware's flagship product, Brainware Distiller, increases the speed at which organizations can access and process information in paper and electronic documents, giving them visibility into Accounts Payable, Order to cash, Freight Accounting, Proof-of-Delivery, Benefits/HR, Remittance, and Medical or Insurance Claim processing. While eliminating manual data entry, Brainware delivers data from documents to SAP, Oracle, Lawson, JD Edwards, an enterprise resource planning or other back-end systems for processing. Once processed, Brainware allows for context-based, high-speed discovery of enterprise information from files and repositories through its Globalbrain solution and Distiller's inherent search capabilities.
Brainware is headquartered in Ashburn, Virginia with sales, support, professional services and R&D offices in Nottingham, UK, Kirchzarten, Germany and Neuchâtel, Switzerland.
Technology
Brainware Distiller is the company's core product, an OCR-like (Optical character recognition) technology used for variety of document-processing needs. Distiller enables the template-free data extraction and processing of transactional data from documents into any backend system. According to IndustryWeek, Distiller typically cuts manual data entry by 60% to 80% -- right out of the box.[1]
On October 13, 2009, Brainware announced that Oracle would OEM its Distiller solution.[2]
In the Worldwide Capture and Image Management Software 2008-2012 Forecast and Analysis Report, International Data Corporation's Melissa Webster writes:
Brainware specializes in high-end capture: its goal is to eliminate the need for human touch (and make document processing a straight-through "touchless" process) by fully automating the recognition, extraction, and matching of information from paper and electronic documents with data in enterprise applications. Brainware’s Distiller solution combines OCR, classification, extraction, and search to achieve very high accuracy rates in high-volume scenarios without the need to define templates, and with minimal training sets. [3]
Globabrain is an enterprise and desktop search solution that enables users to search through disparate repositories using natural language, fault-tolerant, and language independent queries. Globalbrain does not make use of keyword search. It uses a patented n-gram approach. When indexing a word, the word is parsed into three parts and then a vector is created. For example, the word "sample" would be parsed as sam, amp, mpl, etc. This three-letter snippet approach makes the search engine language independent, and highly fault-tolerant of misspellings, OCR errors, poor scans, etc.[4]
In May 2008, Brainware won a product bake-off in Redmond Magazine. The publication wrote: "GlobalBrain is one of the few products that will meet your needs." [5]
