In a landmark ceremony held at Kodak Alaris’ state-of-the-art offices in IMPZ, Jebel Ali Racecourse was named the 2024 Innovative Solution Champion, marking a significant milestone in the racecourse’s ongoing digital transformation. The event, which took place on January 21st, went beyond a typical awards presentation, offering a glimpse into the future of technology-driven business solutions.
The celebration featured senior management from both Kodak Alaris and Jebel Ali Racecourse, who toured Kodak Alaris’ cutting-edge experience centre. The centre highlighted breakthrough technologies, showcasing the company’s commitment to innovation and providing executives with an immersive look into the technological ecosystem that powered Jebel Ali Racecourse’s remarkable transformation.
The journey began with a challenge: managing handwritten race session forms with accuracy and speed. Previously plagued by manual processing, low data accuracy, and time-consuming corrections, Jebel Ali Racecourse sought a more efficient solution to manage their data.
Kodak Alaris provided the answer with its Intelligent Document and Data Processing solution, leveraging Cloud Native AI computer vision models to reimagine document processing. The results were transformative. Through advanced handwritten data extraction technologies, the racecourse achieved a 97% accuracy rate in form processing, reducing operational costs by 80% and infrastructure expenses by 90%.

We’ve built a strong partnership and are excited to continue our journey of innovation together. We look forward to providing advanced AI-based solutions for future needs.”

The team didn’t just deliver a service; they became true partners. They worked tirelessly to understand our needs and developed a solution that significantly enhanced the visitor experience and was highly accepted by our race-goers.”
During the tour, both management teams discussed the technological solutions that maintained the critical two-hour service level agreement, while enhancing both visitor experience and operational efficiency. What set Kodak Alaris apart was not just their technological expertise, but their innovative approach to multi-thread communication with Cloud-AI models and unparalleled handwriting recognition.
This partnership represents more than just a technological upgrade—it’s a strategic transformation that demonstrates how intelligent document processing can redefine business operations. The collaboration between Kodak Alaris and Jebel Ali Racecourse is a prime example of the power of innovative solutions in driving business success.
