What it does
Azure AI Document Intelligence is a developer service on Microsoft Azure that extracts text, tables, and specific fields from documents like invoices, receipts, and ID cards. It includes pre-built models for common document types and the ability to train a custom model on a company's own formats. Because it is an API rather than a full application, a company's own developers build the surrounding workflow around it. It was formerly called Form Recognizer. Pricing is usage-based, per page processed.
Where it can help
This fits a company with development resources already building on Azure that wants a document-extraction service to embed inside its own application rather than a ready-made, no-code product. It is a lower-level, more flexible building block than a packaged tool like Rossum or ABBYY, at the cost of more in-house engineering to build the full workflow. Compare per-page pricing against Google Document AI and Amazon Textract for your expected volume.

Confirm encryption, how the vendor uses your data, customer data separation, how long data stays and how to delete it, activity records, sign-in and user setup, where data is handled, other companies that process data, past incidents, and what your team must manage.
Exit and rollback
Review before rollout: confirm how to export your data, revoke access, and return to your existing workflow. Assign an owner and test the rollback plan before expanding use.
