How Microsoft’s AI-Driven Solution is Transforming Document Processing and Compliance

In today’s digital landscape, businesses generate vast amounts of content daily, contracts, invoices, manuals, and more. Managing this information efficiently is crucial for operational success. Enter SharePoint Syntex, Microsoft’s innovative solution that leverages advanced artificial intelligence (AI) to transform how organisations handle content

What is SharePoint Syntex?

Announced as the first product from Microsoft’s Project Cortex, SharePoint Syntex uses AI and machine teaching to:

  • Automate Content Processing: By training the system to understand your documents, it can automatically tag and categorise content, making retrieval faster and more accurate

  • Extract Valuable Information: Syntex can pull key data from documents, such as contract values or expiration dates, and convert them into metadata. This metadata enhances searchability and integrates seamlessly with Microsoft Search and Power Automate

  • Enhance Compliance and Security: With integration into Microsoft Information Protection, organisations can dynamically apply information protection and compliance policies, ensuring sensitive data is handled appropriately
