In support of these objectives, our business model has been developed over time through strategic investments in services and technologies that have the best long-term growth and profitability prospects based on the value they deliver to clients. And inherent in the model is a commitment to employees and the communities in which we operate.

Docutec was founded in Aachen in December 1997. The name “Docutec” stands for Document Understanding Technologies: already during the founding phase of the enterprise, the automatic recognition and processing of documents – in other words, the Digital Mailroom was the central point of focus. Since November 2007 Docutec is a member of the I.R.I.S. Group.
Instead of concentrating on a widely diversified product portfolio, Docutec AG focussed on one extremely flexible product platform – Docutec Xtract for Documents (X4D). With this “all-in-one” platform, all documents arriving in the Digital Mailroom can be classified and further processed. Since the beginning of its business activity in the year 1993, the company has been successfully implementing complex applications and system solutions for highly reputed partners and final customers.
With the recognition software Docutec Xtract for Documents, Docutec has been able to establish itself as market and technology leader in Germany, particularly in the field of the automatic registration and processing of incoming invoices. Today, Docutec solutions optimise all critical corporate business processes. Docutec’s partners appreciate the high investment security, uncompromising classification and/or recognition quality as well as the reliability and the constant expansion of the system platform X4D.
