The convergence of voice, data and video has led communications providers to adopt aggressive strategies for positioning themselves as the sole provider for all of these services. In such a highly competitive market, the quality of customer service and the type of services provided become key points of differentiation so fast access to complete customer information is critical.

Customer data has traditionally been managed in a database; however, a significant volume of customer information - such as forms, e-mail, written letters, bills and invoices - cannot be easily captured and managed in a database. Nonetheless, these documents contain valuable information regarding transactions between the provider and the customer. Capturing this "unstructured" data and combining it with the structured information maintained in a database can give customer service agents a complete customer view.
