DATA EXTRACTION SERVICES
Turn Scattered Information Into Structured, Usable Data
Global Data Entry Solutions provides data extraction support for organizations that need approved information collected from documents, databases, images or public web sources and converted into structured records for business use.
Extract the Fields That Matter
Business information often exists across multiple sources and formats. The useful data may be buried inside PDFs, reports, image files, database exports, public websites or legacy documents. A reliable extraction project begins by defining exactly which fields should be collected and how they should appear in the final output.
Depending on the source and project rules, extraction can combine manual review, structured queries, OCR-assisted processing, field mapping and public-source research.
Structured Around Source Rules and Validation
Each workflow can be configured around approved source types, required fields, inclusion rules, validation criteria, duplicate handling and exception procedures. Unclear or unsupported records can be flagged for review rather than completed through assumption.
This service can be combined with web data extraction, data capture services, data cleansing or data processing services where a project needs broader collection, cleanup or transformation support.
WHAT WE CAN EXTRACT
Common Data Extraction Sources
Documents & PDFs
Extract approved fields from reports, forms, statements, contracts, PDFs and other structured or semi-structured documents.
Database Exports
Extract selected fields from approved database exports, tables or structured data sources using client-defined requirements.
Images & Scanned Files
Capture readable text, labels, identifiers or structured values from scanned documents and image-based records.
Public Web Sources
Collect publicly available business information from client-approved websites and online sources for structured research workflows.
Spreadsheets & Reports
Extract selected columns, records or values from Excel, CSV and other structured business files.
Legacy Records
Extract selected business information from archived files and older records before cleanup, migration or database updating.
COMMON USE CASES
Where Data Extraction Services Add Value
Database Migration Preparation
Extract selected legacy fields before mapping them into a new CRM, ERP, database or business application.
Research Dataset Creation
Collect structured company, product, market or other approved business information from defined public sources.
Document-to-Data Projects
Extract key fields from forms, reports and scanned records into spreadsheets or client-defined data templates.
Backlog Extraction
Process accumulated document or data volumes when internal teams need additional extraction capacity.
Database Enrichment Preparation
Extract relevant source information before matching or appending fields to an existing business dataset.
Recurring Extraction Workloads
Support repeat projects where source types, field definitions and output structures remain consistent over time.
PROCESS
A Controlled Data Extraction Workflow
Define
Confirm source types, target fields, inclusion rules and output requirements.
Access
Work with approved documents, databases, exports or public sources.
Extract
Capture the required fields using the agreed manual, query or OCR-assisted workflow.
Normalize
Standardize formats, field structure and approved reference values.
Validate
Review completeness, source consistency and unresolved exceptions.
Deliver
Return organized records and review files in the agreed format.
QUALITY CONTROL
What We Review Before Data Delivery
Required Field Completeness
Check that required fields are populated where the approved source contains the necessary information.
Source-to-Record Review
Compare extracted values with source records where visual or record-level validation is part of the workflow.
Format Consistency
Apply agreed rules to dates, numbers, categories, URLs, names and other structured values.
Duplicate Review
Flag potentially repeated records using client-defined identifiers or comparison logic.
Source Traceability
Include source references or URLs where the project requires reviewers to trace extracted data back to its origin.
Exception Handling
Separate unreadable, ambiguous or conflicting records rather than forcing unsupported values.

SERVICE EXPLAINED
Data Extraction vs Data Capture vs Web Scraping
Data Extraction
Focuses on selecting and pulling defined information from documents, databases, files or approved web sources into a structured output.
Data Capture
Focuses mainly on converting information from paper, forms, images and scanned documents into digital records.
Web Scraping
Uses automated collection methods for public web information where permitted. It is a more specific technique than general data extraction and should follow source, access and usage requirements.

WHY OUTSOURCE DATA EXTRACTION
Add Capacity for Repetitive Source-to-Data Work
Data extraction can become labor-intensive when source volumes are large, formats vary or repeated validation is required. Outsourcing can add processing capacity while keeping field definitions, source rules and exception handling consistent.
- Support large or recurring extraction volumes
- Apply consistent field and source rules
- Reduce repetitive document and database review work
- Prepare structured datasets for downstream use
- Separate unclear or conflicting records for review
- Receive output in client-defined formats

Data Extraction Services FAQs
What are data extraction services?
Data extraction services collect defined information from approved documents, databases, images, files or public web sources and convert it into structured records.
What types of sources can be used?
Projects can use PDFs, documents, images, spreadsheets, database exports, archived files and client-approved public web sources.
Can you extract data from public websites?
Yes. Public web information can be collected where the project uses approved sources and follows applicable access and usage requirements.
Can extracted data be prepared for our database?
Yes. Output can be aligned to client-defined Excel, CSV, database or import templates where the required field structure is supplied in advance.
Can extraction include OCR?
Yes. OCR-assisted processing can be used for readable scanned documents and images, with manual review where needed.
How are unclear or conflicting records handled?
Unreadable, incomplete or ambiguous records can be placed in an exception queue rather than being completed through assumption.
What information do you need to review a project?
Useful details include source type, approximate volume, required fields, approved sources, target format, validation rules and exception-handling instructions.
