Laserfiche unveils AI tool for efficient document summarisation

Recent research from Salesforce reveals that 93% of service professionals in organisations that have invested in AI claim that the technology saves them significant time. Business process automation provider, Laserfiche, acknowledges this success as it announces the availability of an innovative, generative AI-powered document summarisation tool.

Laserfiche AI Document Summarisation represents a significant stride in the company's strategy to deploy artificial intelligence at scale. The aim is to aid businesses in enhancing productivity by providing easily understandable and concise meeting minutes or project notes, simplifying complex reports, analyses, and research for better-informed decision-making, and a faster reaction time by facilitating the easy location and utilisation of crucial data.

Released on 30th April 2024, this major update in Laserfiche's AI vision aims to revolutionise workplaces - empowering workers to unleash the value in their organisation's content, govern processes efficiently and leverage AI on a larger scale. Having this tool integrated into Laserfiche Cloud simplifies content consumption and powers productivity, thereby overcoming the challenge faced by organisations in managing growing amounts of data across various departments, offices, and locations.

The Laserfiche AI document summarisation tool extracts more meaningful insights from content, granting users the capability to create and share brief reviews of repository entries. Improved productivity, effective communication, informed decision-making, and accelerated processes are some of the many advantages that could be reaped out of using this tool as part of business strategy.

Michael Allen, CTO at Laserfiche, emphasises the often-untapped potential of the vast digital assets that organisations possess, highlighting that the challenging task of finding and consuming information could be significantly eased with the deployment of AI. "Laserfiche AI empowers users with tools that unlock the value in their organisations' content and help realise the benefits of generative AI at scale. Using document summarisation within the context of Laserfiche repositories which already drive so many automated processes will save significant time and costs, and boost productivity even further," he added.

While accessed through the Laserfiche repository, document summarisation allows users to take advantage of the generative AI within their organisation's information management structure. This new feature aims to streamline information processing without losing its focus on ever-evolving data privacy and security standards.

Continuing to incorporate the latest, productivity-enhancing technology to the Laserfiche suite of products, the management indicates plans to roll out more AI-powered capabilities. This includes advancements in document and sentiment analysis, enhancements to search functionality, and further developments in process automation creation and system configuration. The forward-thinking approach of Laserfiche, dedicated to reimagining how technology can transform lives, serves to display the firm's commitment to empowering customers with the objectives of accelerating business growth and delivering digital-first customer experiences.
