Why software development is more than just programming
🚀 From OCR to AI
25+ years of evolution from simple text recognition to advanced machine learning and large language models.
🔬 Data Science Expertise
Specialized in pattern detection, NLP, and context-aware document processing for every industry.
🌍 European Innovation
Dutch technology with our own data center, fully GDPR-compliant and reliable.
💡 Open Source Power
Combination of community-driven innovation with enterprise-ready solutions.
🤝 Collaboration is Key
Teamwork between engineers, consultants, and marketing ensures practically applicable solutions that meet real needs.
⚡ Proven ROI
Customers experience substantial ROI within the first year through time savings and elimination of manual errors.*
Imagine: a busy finance department processes hundreds of invoices daily. Where employees used to manually check and enter each document, now advanced software works that not only recognizes text but also understands its meaning. An invoice of €2,500 is automatically linked to the correct project, VAT is calculated, and approval workflows start automatically.
This is not a future vision – this is the reality of modern software development at organizations that have invested in smart automation. The art of software development has evolved from simple programming tasks to intelligent systems that support human decision-making.
The evolution of software development: from basics to ChatGPT
Software development often begins with a market need. This is discussed internally and translated into requirements for the developer. That developer draws inspiration from these requirements. This “inspiration aspect” may sound poetic – especially if you’re just looking for practical software development or a developer for your custom solution. But realize this: software development is a dance between logic and creativity.
How it all began
The story of EasyData started in the late nineties when the scanning and data capture industry was still in its infancy. Digitizing documents with office printers with scanning functionality was revolutionary. OCR (Optical Character Recognition) was the standard then.
Simple text recognition transformed how businesses handled administration – invoices, forms, and contracts could suddenly be processed digitally. But OCR had limitations: it recognized text but couldn’t give it meaning.
Machine learning transforms software development
With machine learning algorithms, software development has completely changed. You can even ask ChatGPT to write code – with spectacular results. Thanks to this breakthrough, data is not only recognized but also understood.
A revolution in automated document processing
Thanks to developers, you now have access to a platform where these algorithms work specifically for your industry. You can upload large volumes of documents at once – and the software extracts not only text but also analyzes context. This is document processing as it was meant to be.

Machine learning changed everything. With current technology, data is not only recognized – it is fully understood. Patterns in documents become visible and can be independently classified.
Our developers create algorithms that analyze both text and context, which revolutionizes automated document processing. Where manual verification was once necessary, software now handles this autonomously.
The next leap: Natural Language Processing
Customer documents often contain complex language structures, which requires innovative techniques. By training models to understand nuances in language, we enable automated classification and analysis of contracts, reports, and other business documents.
Collaboration drives development
At EasyData, software development is teamwork. Our engineers work closely with Support, Consultants, and Marketing to ensure solutions are not only technically advanced but also practically applicable. Customer feedback is central to this process – because the best software grows from real needs.
