Microsoft Syntex Gets New Features, Drops Price for Unstructured Document Processing

Last year, Microsoft launched its new Syntex service that uses AI to organize large sets of data and unorganized content for searching. Now, the company has announced several new features and enhancements for Microsoft Syntex.

Microsoft has reduced the cost of unstructured document processing from $0.10 to $0.05 per page. The company has also released a new Syntex add-on service called SharePoint Advanced Management (SAM). It’s currently available as a per-user license with advanced security and content management capabilities for organizations.

“With the exponential content growth across every industry, it’s increasingly important to manage and govern your digital estate diligently. SAM addresses access permissions and content lifecycle management, particularly given organizational challenges such assite content sprawl and oversharing,” Microsoft explained.

Microsoft Syntex gets new pay-as-you-go services

Microsoft has announced the general availability of several pay-as-you-go services in Microsoft Syntex. With Syntex Content Assembly, organizations can streamline their repetitive content generation processes such as business proposals, invoices, and statements. The Syntex Image Tagging feature lets customers assign descriptive keywords to images to speed up the searching process.

The Syntex Taxonomy tagging feature analyzes the content and the taxonomy to automatically identify tags for SharePoint documents. This capability is expected to become generally available in the next few weeks. Microsoft has added support for Syntex Optical Character Recognition (OCR) in public preview. It allows users to extract text from images shared in Teams messages, OneDrive, Exchange, and SharePoint.

Later this year, Syntex Translation will let customers translate documents in a variety of languages based on specific metadata. Moreover, Syntex Content Rules Processor is getting a new rule to automatically set the content type for files added to a document library. The company also plans to launch the new Microsoft 365 Backup and Achieve services in the coming months.
