Data Capture

Agilis utilizes high-speed processing technology to automatically capture embedded variables contained in an OCR scan line and MICR line. Given the sheer amount of information that can be contained in a scan line and the automated manner in which they can be read, we feel scan line processes are far superior to other forms of data capture, such as barcode processes. Furthermore, through the utilization of a two-fold check digit routine, a data accuracy confidence level of 99.9% can be achieved.

For clients who send out acquisition mailings, scan line processes are an efficient, automated way to capture new donor data. This automated process eliminates the need for manual data entry of the new donor’s contact information, greatly reducing the amount of time and money spent on acquisition mail processing.

For the many scenarios that require manual data entry, we are able to capture data into our system or enter data directly into our clients’ live database. For data entry into our system, with the data then uploaded to our clients, we feature the usage of Turbo Edit Queues to help ensure data entry accuracy as well as to facilitate greater data entry speeds. These Turbo Edit Queues are customized application screens that are specific to every individual capture run for each of our clients, resulting in faster, more accurate data entry.

In addition to the manual data entry performed by our operators, we are also able to perform live database look-ups and direct data entry for clients that utilize database platforms that can accommodate such access. Live data entry is generally in the form of name or address changes, telephone number or email address updates, new account creations, suppression requests, free-form comments or suggestions, etc.
