The new AI Builder for SharePoint Syntex

The Rise of Automation: How AI is Transforming Workflows

Automation is evolving faster than ever. Businesses that once relied on manual processes are now prioritising automation to eliminate repetitive tasks, reduce inconsistencies, and improve efficiency. A Kofax Intelligent Automation Benchmark Study highlights that key operations such as bank statement processing (41%), claims processing (55%), invoice processing (43%), and transaction handling (46%) consume a significant portion of employees’ workdays. So, where can improvements be made?

What Is SharePoint Syntex and How Does It Help?

Microsoft’s SharePoint Syntex is revolutionising document automation. This AI-powered tool leverages machine learning to extract, classify, and process information from structured and unstructured documents. One of its most advanced features is AI Builder, an add-on that enhances automation capabilities within the Microsoft ecosystem.

By using SharePoint Syntex, organisations can automate content processing, reducing the need for manual data entry and ensuring greater accuracy. This is particularly beneficial for departments such as accounts payable, legal, and compliance, where managing large volumes of documents is critical.

New AI-Powered Features in SharePoint Syntex

Recent updates have unlocked even more powerful capabilities, including:

• Itemised Data Extraction: Syntex can now extract information from invoices and purchase orders (POs) at the line-item level.
• Multi-Page Document Scanning: The AI can scan across multiple pages and return detailed information, including item descriptions, quantities, and prices.
• Seamless Integration with Power Automate: These processes can now run with minimal human intervention, streamlining workflows even further.

For example, OfficeLabs has successfully extracted invoice data, capturing essential fields like item description, quantity, and price. This automation reduces time spent on manual entry and enhances data accuracy.

Reducing Manual Effort with Power Automate

By combining SharePoint Syntex with Microsoft Power Automate, organisations can create end-to-end automation workflows. AI models automatically extract relevant data from documents and trigger actions, such as invoice approvals or record updates in financial systems.

This approach could eliminate the five hours per week that 58% of organisations waste on repetitive tasks.

The Future of AI-Driven Document Management

Microsoft continues to refine SharePoint Syntex based on user feedback. The AI is constantly learning, improving its ability to model user behaviour, and adapting to new business needs. As this technology evolves, businesses can expect even greater automation capabilities, further minimising manual effort and boosting efficiency.
