TEAM Informatics is developing a new product called M-Connect, which leverages Accusoft’s PrizmDoc Viewer. M-Connect extends and enhances the capabilities of the M-Files Intelligent Information Management platform. As part of M-Connect’s functionality, TEAM Informatics needed to provide the ability for users to access, view, collaborate, and search information within different document formats. They needed to control access to the documents, audit changes, and support a wide range of file formats in a web interface. Accusoft provides content and imaging solutions that solve document lifecycle complexities. Their technology provides document viewing, advanced search, image compression, conversion, barcode recognition, OCR, and other image processing tools to use in application and web development. The partners plan to launch M-Connect July 8, 2020.

Nuxeo announced a new, low-code user interface (UI) for Nuxeo Insight, its artificial intelligence (AI) service that enables companies to use their own data and content to train custom machine learning (ML) models. The new interface allows business users to easily create, train, deploy and administer personalised machine learning models. The interface offers a guided point-and-click experience, and users can also deploy and administer these models in production use cases. Nuxeo’s new user experience walks users through the step-by-step process of training and deploying customer machine learning models:
- Select the various values and data types they want the new model to populate
- Apply different parameters for predictions
- Select the appropriate content and data for successful model training
- Perform any necessary renditions or transformations
Nuxeo Insight’s new UI includes a dashboard that provides real-time updates on the training process and outcomes. It also enables organisations to administer their custom ML models, allowing them to quickly promote new models into production and to actively monitor the performance of their models over time. With the new UI, users can compare the performance of different ML models or different versions of the same model.
