Case Study: Federal Election Commission cuts turnaround time for election filings by over 90% with Captricity

FEC Cuts Turnaround Time for Election Filings by Over 90 Percent

Captricity partnered with the Federal Election Commission in 2014 to address a paper-heavy, time-consuming process for digitizing detailed election filings. The FEC needed a scalable, secure solution to speed turnaround times, reduce thousands of manual processing hours, and handle the annual surges in filings that can affect election outcomes.

Using Captricity’s cloud-native Data-as-a-Service platform, scanned reports are uploaded via Amazon S3 and processed with deep-learning algorithms that extract and normalize data at 99.9% accuracy. The result: turnaround times fell from months to days (a reduction of over 90%), manual processing of thousands of pages monthly was eliminated, and the volume of digitized pages handled each month increased significantly.
