A user received several business cards at a trade fair. Now he wants to add these contacts to his Outlook account. Instead of typing the data himself, he uses an app including a software robot. The user takes a picture of each business card in form Address aquisition. The Software Robot Outlook data uses the pictures to extract the data and creates automatically new data sheets for every contact in Outlook. The data is also sent to BPaaS, so the user can open form Address Data to display the data of his new contacts and use them in other apps.
