An Introduction to Microsoft Syntex

Despite a global rush toward enterprise digital transformation, the document remains at the heart of most businesses, and unfortunately, managing them still remains a distinctly manual process. Despite its structured nature, the flexibility of a document makes it hard to automate business processes, and taking data from multiple line-of-business applications to insert it in a document is a matter of cut-and-paste, from screen to document and often back again once a document is received. Launched at Ignite in October 2022, Microsoft Syntex is here to solve some of these tediously manual issues, adding document processing tools to SharePoint. The solution uses machine learning to help construct and parse documents, turning a manual process into one where humans guide and check software, and where legal, regulatory and contractual requirements are still met. In this in-depth look at Syntex, learn more about content AI and some of the current use cases for this release.
