Every year, Microsoft holds a conference specifically for IT experts, developers, and business leaders, as a chance for customers to gain an insight on their latest products and developments, and the direction in which the company is going with future endeavours. The conference is known as Microsoft Ignite.
Lots of individuals and businesses follow Microsoft Ignite, such as TechQuarters, a provider of managed IT services London businesses have used for years, and who have been partnered with Microsoft since 2010. We asked them about the thing they found most interesting about 2022’s Ignite conference; they said that they always look forward to hearing about the new products and services that Microsoft are developing, which they often announce at these conferences. This year, they said, one of the most interesting new services they announced was Microsoft Syntex.
Microsoft Syntex & Content AI
This new service from Microsoft was conceived in order to answer an emerging demand for Content AI. According to Microsoft, Syntex integrates directly into the flow of work; it is comprised of a number of new applications and services, which will be either standalone or embedded into other Microsoft services, such as SharePoint.
Microsoft Syntex has been described as ‘Content AI integrated into the flow of work’, which what exactly is Content AI?
Nowadays, businesses create a lot of content every single. When we asked TechQuarters, they confirmed that many of their clients are going paperless thanks to other Microsoft solutions; this has resulted in much more digital content being utilized within these organisations.
Whenever the volume of data increased, the ability for it to be managed manually decreases – as is the case with Big Data. Content AI is an emerging category of technology that is focused with automating content management in various different ways.
