Data Extraction is the collection (extraction) and manipulation of text data by use of a computer.

Data Extraction is done by iLink from software products and custom software screens to obtain information to place into DocuPhase index fields to index documents from specified Applications. The screens are presented as windows containing forms or reports that are displayed by workstation programs or web-based pages.
