SPEAKING SESSIONS:
Using AI to Automate Large Scale Document Remediation
Producing accessible PDF documents at an enterprise scale is never easy. More so, the Customer Communication Management (CCM) systems used to create statements, letters, policies, invoices, records, and more require specific expertise to build accessible templates, not always fully supporting complex content. Worse yet, they tend to lack fully integrated, innovative best-practice testing tools to ensure outputs meet ADA and accessibility standards like WCAG and PDF/UA. The result: an untenable ability to remediate the ever-increasing number of existing PDFs and reach a state of relative compliance. We will use Allyant's highly advanced deep neural network AI to show how document generation becomes more intelligent over time. Furthermore, as the solution produces files, the algorithms are continually enhanced through our quality assurance and post-processing methodology. Essentially, the tool is "taught" through accessible sample documents how to properly tag PDF documents. This ensures those documents are fully accessible to work seamlessly with screen readers and other assistive technologies.

TECHNICAL TRACK: Mayo Clinic Improves Customer Service and Realizes Thousands in Postal Savings
Join us as we discuss how intelligent workflow automation continues to grow and benefit the print and mail environment, and improve customer service globally for Mayo Clinic.
In addition to replacing their offset content to digital, personalized patient booklets for in-house printing, Mayo Clinic also consolidates and households documents. This reduces the number of individual mail pieces but also summarizes statements and invoices into a single document. These documents are easier for their patients to understand.
For their global customers, such as embassies, Mayo Clinic streamlined the process of getting patient information, statements and invoices into consolidated documents and with bulk shipments. Electronic versions accompany all print.
Both of these processes have enabled huge postal savings (100K+) and improved patient and nursing services.
