Our Ethos

AntWorks’ success is driven by our customers’ success. Their challenges are our challenges. Our product development is driven by the lessons we learn from our partners. We help customers master our technology so they can train and configure our solutions independently to fit their specific needs, helping them compete and thrive in a digital age.

Our Customers

AntWorks helps organisations that depend on the information in the millions of documents they receive each year. The more documentation an organisation receives, the more varied and hard to process it is, and the more valuable the data it contains, the greater the benefits AntWorks delivers. AntWorks’ customers include major players in finance and insurance as well as healthcare, business process outsourcing and law.
