Datometry partners with Databricks

May 30, 2023 /

Datometry, provider of a database virtualization solution, announced their partnership with Databricks to accelerate the transition of enterprises from classic data warehouse technology to the lakehouse. The partnership will help enterprise customers overcome the lock-in of legacy vendors.

Enterprises struggle to move their workloads off legacy data warehouses like Teradata and Oracle. Until now, the way companies moved applications off these legacy systems was to rewrite them and translate the embedded SQL with conversion tools. This approach is not only costly and time-consuming but also error-prone and poses significant risk to an organization.

Datometry has joined the Databricks Technology Partner Program to offer customers a validated integration with Databricks that overcomes the challenges of conventional migrations. With Datometry, enterprises can move their business as-is without having to rewrite or redefine application code.

Docugami announces integration with LlamaIndex

May 22, 2023 /

Docugami, a document engineering company that transforms how businesses create and execute critical business documents, announced an initial integration of LlamaIndex with Docugami, via the Llama Hub.

The LlamaIndex framework provides a flexible interface between a user’s information and Large Language Models (LLMs). Coupling LlamaIndex with Docugami’s ability to generate a Document XML Knowledge Graph representation of long-form Business Documents opens opportunities for LlamaIndex developers to build LLM applications that connect users to their own Business Documents, without being limited by document size or context window restrictions.

General purpose LLMs alone cannot deliver the accuracy needed for business, financial, legal, and scientific settings because they are trained on the public internet, which introduces a wide range of irrelevant and low-quality source materials. By contrast, Docugami is trained exclusively for business scenarios, for greater accuracy and reliability.

Systems aiming to understand the content of documents, such as retrieval and question-answering, will benefit from Docugami’s semantic Document XML Knowledge Graph Representation. Our unique approach to document chunking allows for better understanding and processing of your documents
