We have both bought solutions for this off the shelf (think OpenText, Kofax...) and built some internally using public cloud building blocks.

The difficulty with the "make" approach is that although it was surprisingly quick and easy to get going, you need to decide when you've reached the limit of what makes sense for an inhouse tool, and when you should bite the bullet and buy one of the vendor solutions that offer way more functionality and integrations and workflows and so on. This happened to us when we started to consolidate finance/accounting in shared service centers where the volumes were much higher than in the decentralized teams that we managing the work previously.

Global Intelligent Automation & GenAI Leader in Healthcare and Biotecha year ago

Using Automation there are many options for IDP - Intelligence Document processing. Think of this as advanced OCR or the accumulation of ML training over the last 15 years. 

However, with GenAI and its multi-modal capabilities... There are some potential wins. However, the safety and effort needed to drive enterprise GenAI is hard and costly. You would save more time, and more ROI - Return on Investment if you brought in IDP and had your Automation team driving that effort.
