Data Capture in 2020<\/h1>\n

In a digital era, the entire business world lives on a constant supply of data. Before any data can be processed, it first needs to be captured from the \u2018real world.\u2019 And that\u2019s a problem. Because the data we humans capture in such a painless way through our eyes, ears, tased buds, and advanced network of nerves and sensors is not easily acquired by computers.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.7.3″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”15px||-11px|-1px|false|false” custom_padding=”||2px|0px|false|false” animation_style=”fade” header_text_shadow_style=”preset3″ border_color_left=”#8497b0″]<\/p>\n

Think back to the Year 2000, and the subject of data capture was binary. Talk about data capture and you\u2019d be forgiven for instinctively thinking about keyboard data entry, a camera, or perhaps a barcode reader if you were involved in enterprise automation. But that was pretty much where the discussion stopped.<\/p>\n

Today, we are barraged by sensor devices, CCTV cameras, mobile phones and smart watches that can track your heart rate, the climate you\u2019re in and how far you are above sea level. Few people know that even the office copier in the corner of the room is checking the air pressure in your office, in addition to the heat of the components being used to fuse toner to paper.<\/p>\n

Why Data Capture Matters to You<\/o:p><\/h1>\n

The basic building blocks of data processing are \u2018capture, process, output.\u2019 Nothing happens without data being first captured into a computer. That means, all those innovations in machine learning and artificial intelligence mean nothing if those computer processors in the back office don\u2019t receive any data to work on. How quickly and accurately data is captured can make all the difference.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.7.3″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”15px||-11px|-1px|false|false” custom_padding=”||2px|0px|false|false” animation_style=”fade” header_text_shadow_style=”preset3″ border_color_left=”#8497b0″]<\/p>\n

Self-driving autonomous cars, that have the ability to steer themselves along roads and react to any hazards that emerge, have to capture millions of data points every minute. The sensors in an autonomous vehicle can record between 1.4 terabytes (TB) to around 19 TB per hour. Forbes reporter David Silver estimated that 200 vehicles driving 8 hours per day at 15 mph would match Waymo\u2019s reported mileage rate. That means, in future, autonomous cars will capture between 11 TB and 152 TB per day! <\/o:p><\/p>\n

How Data Capture is Changing<\/o:p><\/h1>\n

Most companies today continue to rely on documents to drive their processes. That sounds surprising perhaps in a digital age, but it\u2019s true. For decades, the most common forms of data capture have been a keyboard or a camera (or scanner). Only recently has voice capture and chatbot technology really turned a page. Voice capture is more convenient for most people, it is the ONLY way to enter data for a sizeable number of people with disabilities and those unable to type through a lack of education. Additionally, it\u2019s MUCH FASTER than using a keyboard.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.7.3″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”15px||-11px|-1px|false|false” custom_padding=”||0px|0px|false|false” animation_style=”fade” header_text_shadow_style=”preset3″ border_color_left=”#8497b0″]<\/p>\n

A study by Stanford University conducted in 2017 that compared voice and keyboard data capture, found that text entry speeds, in words per minute (WPM), using speech were about 3.0 times faster than the keyboard for English<\/o:p><\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.7.3″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”15px||-11px|-1px|false|false” custom_padding=”||2px|0px|false|false” animation_style=”fade” header_text_shadow_style=”preset3″ border_color_left=”#8497b0″]<\/p>\n

Sensor networking technologies have evolved dramatically over the past decade. The ability to capture data at source has been facilitated by a new generation of sensor technologies, new industry standards associated with data communications, network communications, data interoperability, and data encryption and identity management.<\/p>\n

The Human Interface Still Matters<\/o:p><\/h1>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.7.3″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”15px||-11px|-1px|false|false” custom_padding=”||2px|0px|false|false” animation_style=”fade” header_text_shadow_style=”preset3″ border_color_left=”#8497b0″]<\/p>\n

Whether it\u2019s speaking into a mobile phone or tapping into a typical database form, industry still needs effective ways of capturing data from humans. It\u2019s become a major battleground for businesses vying to sell to, or onboard, online digital customers.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.7.3″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”15px||-11px|-1px|false|false” custom_padding=”||2px|0px|false|false” animation_style=”fade” header_text_shadow_style=”preset3″ border_color_left=”#8497b0″]<\/p>\n

According to the Baymard Institute<\/span><\/a>, one in four (28%<\/span><\/a>) shopping carts are abandoned owing to the complexity of the checkout process. Another survey in 2020 by Significant reported than 54% of online financial lending applications are abandoned by prospective customers, mainly (40%) because they take too long to complete and ask for too much information.<\/o:p><\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.7.3″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”15px||-11px|-1px|false|false” custom_padding=”||2px|0px|false|false” animation_style=”fade” header_text_shadow_style=”preset3″ border_color_left=”#8497b0″]<\/p>\n

Capturing lots of information from humans quickly and painlessly is a big issue today. At one time, people \u2018expected\u2019 to complete an online form whenever they needed to provide information; this, after decades of using paper documents, set in stone user attitudes and behaviors. But, with a digitally enabled generation, those attitudes are now changing.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.7.3″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”15px||-11px|-1px|false|false” custom_padding=”||2px|0px|false|false” animation_style=”fade” header_text_shadow_style=”preset3″ border_color_left=”#8497b0″]<\/p>\n

One of the obvious ways to achieve faster and more convenient data capture is to remove keyboard data entry through adoption of voice capture <\/strong>technologies. Whilst that\u2019s a good option, it\u2019s not always practical, or that easy to adopt. For many, the costs of advanced voice capture technologies is beyond their practical budget.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.7.3″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”15px||-11px|-1px|false|false” custom_padding=”||2px|0px|false|false” animation_style=”fade” header_text_shadow_style=”preset3″ border_color_left=”#8497b0″]<\/p>\n

The next best thing, according to experts, is to transition from online forms to chatbots <\/strong>that adopt a conversational style to ask questions in order, and often embrace AI technology to speed up applications completion. In the case of online financial lending, speed needs not to compromise lending risk for providers.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.7.3″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”15px||-11px|-1px|false|false” custom_padding=”|||0px|false|false” animation_style=”fade” header_text_shadow_style=”preset3″ border_color_left=”#8497b0″]<\/p>\n

In cases where a form is absolutely necessary, the state of the art is to break down forms into a series of friendly scripted questions, presented as a wizard-based form<\/strong>. Using a wizard removes the \u2018fear of completion\u2019 that comes with presenting ten or twenty empty data capture form fields on a screen that leads users to head for the hills or the closest coffee bar when they realise the scale of the data entry task they\u2019re being asked to take on.<\/p>\n

High cart and application form abandonment rates are highlighting to businesses the importance of convenient and effective data capture. With data capture strategies directly making an impact on their income, business leaders have come to appreciate how they go about data capture<\/strong> really does impact on their competitiveness<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Zero data entry is always going to be the best option.<\/p>\n

Open banking <\/span><\/a>is an example of a strategy sponsored by the financial services industry regulator to harvest data across an industry in a safe and trusted way. This pan-industry approach to managing and sharing data cuts the amount of data that needs to directly be \u2018recaptured\u2019 from customers. In this way, data is harvested from available data sources wherever possible and only the REMAINING unique data needed to complete the process has to be captured. According to openbanking.org.uk, over two million users\u2013individuals and small businesses\u2013are using open banking-enabled applications across the UK. <\/o:p><\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.7.3″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”15px||-11px|-1px|false|false” custom_padding=”||2px|0px|false|false” animation_style=”fade” header_text_shadow_style=”preset3″ border_color_left=”#8497b0″]<\/p>\n

Another way to cut data entry is to re-use data that\u2019s already been captured from the information source through previous contract activities, or through transactions and activities with third-parties who give permission to share their data. Many organizations today are still unable to harvest data from their back-office systems, Service Management and Customer Relationship Management systems in a useful way to make it useful. This means, new customer requests are treated as a \u2018new customer\u2019 and this adds significant unnecessary overheads on the data capture activity demanded of the prospective customer.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.7.3″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”15px||-11px|-1px|false|false” custom_padding=”|||0px|false|false” animation_style=”fade” header_text_shadow_style=”preset3″ border_color_left=”#8497b0″]<\/p>\n

For businesses, to get data capture right, it takes a blend of using the most appropriate technology and not asking them for data you can source from some place else.<\/p>\n
