Hyland: Are You AI-Ready?

On July 24, 2025, Hyland hosted an engaging and highly relevant webinar titled “Are you AI-ready? Use your enterprise content to fuel AI success.” Led by industry experts Nabih Metri (Senior Product Manager) and Rafal Hryniewicz (Manager, Product Management), the session provided a fresh look at how organizations can transform raw data into powerful, actionable insights through Hyland’s innovative Content Intelligence solutions.

Why AI-Ready Content Matters

A central theme was the significance of getting your enterprise content “AI-ready.” The speakers noted that while 80% of business data is unstructured. It typcially lives in emails, PDFs, videos, and images, and most organizations have only managed to put about 10% of this vast resource to work for AI. Structured data, which fits into rows and columns, is easy for systems to process. In contrast, unstructured data, though rich in meaning, poses unique challenges for machines to interpret directly.

This untapped potential represents an opportunity for businesses to unlock hidden value by making their content discoverable, organized, and accurate. As one illustrative metaphor, the presenters compared data curation to refining a recipe: just as the best outcomes require clear, complete instructions and ingredients, AI needs contextual, well-organized data for optimal performance.

How Hyland Helps: Content Intelligence & Knowledge Enrichment

Hyland’s Content Intelligence and Knowledge Enrichment platforms sit at the intersection of data readiness and intelligent automation. These solutions turn your raw, unstructured content into well-structured, AI-ready data, empowering AI systems, intelligent agents, and analytics platforms to reason and act with confidence.

Two Ways to Prepare Data

• Knowledge Enrichment: Automates curation and adds deep context for organizations seeking enriched outputs, without manual overhead. Ideal for preparing content for knowledge graphs, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), or large language model (LLM) workflows.
• Document Filters: Provide precise, fully controlled extraction of text, metadata, and embedded content while preserving structure and formatting. These filters work on 600+ file types, supporting deployment in cloud, on-premises, or edge environments.

Making Data Actionable

By using Hyland’s tools, organizations can:

• Enrich data with domain knowledge and context

• Ensure high-quality, easily discoverable information

The session also highlighted the human-in-the-loop features that help keep AI systems compliant and adaptable to business needs, as well as agent builder tools for developing transformative solutions across industries from retail to finance.
