AnyDoc Software, originally established in 1989 under the name Microsystems Technology, Inc., was a Tampa, Florida-headquartered firm focused on enterprise content management (ECM) solutions. The company specialized in transforming scanned documents into machine-readable text to support back-office operations and content management platforms. Its premier offering, OCR for Forms (subsequently renamed OCR for AnyDoc), debuted in 1991 following a two-year development phase. In 2013, AnyDoc became part of Hyland Software, the creator of the OnBase document management system. Customers of AnyDoc can find product details through the Hyland Community Portal.
The company engineered technologies to handle structured, semi-structured, and unstructured document types, incorporating classification and workflow automation capabilities. For structured documents such as credit applications, it utilized template-driven methods that identify data fields for extraction. To process semi-structured documents like invoices and checks, AnyDoc developed AnyApp technology, which captures data while adapting to document layouts to enhance processing speed.
