Growing faster than ever and investing for the future

Microsofts’ latest investment is bringing content intelligence to you with Microsoft Search, SharePoint Syntex and Project Cortex Topics.

SharePoint is a core part of Microsoft Search, using our Graph-based content connectors to index data in over 130 remote locations, such as file shares, SQL, or ServiceNow.

Recently released SharePoint Syntex, which uses advanced AI and machine teaching to amplify human expertise, automate content processing, and transform content into knowledge. They’ve also modernised taxonomy services (managed metadata) with synonyms, machine translation, import functionality, analytics, and five times our previous scale.
