Syntex Brand Welcomes New Services

• The Syntex brand name is expanding to encompass several offerings only tangentially related to its original purpose.
• Copilot interoperability, repository services, data analysis, and eSignature offerings are all in preview in the second half of 2023.

Microsoft is expanding the services grouped under the Syntex brand and will be rolling out previews of four new services in 2023. SharePoint Syntex (later rebranded Microsoft Syntex) was first introduced in 2020 to integrate machine learning into content workflows by processing incoming documents such as invoices and purchase orders (structured or unstructured) and extracting relevant data from both structured and unstructured documents, replacing manual steps. New services will provide Microsoft 365 Copilot interoperability, data repository services, eSignature features, and data analytics for enterprise content. The connection to the original Syntex brand can seem tenuous, since these new services have little to do with content ingestion and processing, but their features could enhance Syntex-related workflows.
