  • Metadata mining at Brisbane Catholic Education  Watch a live demo as we showcase the solution implemented at Brisbane Catholic Education. Go under the hood and see in real-time, how a file is added to SharePoint, how an automated workflow is triggered, extracting metadata and writing it back to the original file in real time.

Whether it’s Data Factory, Logic Apps, Document Intelligence or AI Foundry, we’ll show how these Azure Services work together to save hours of effort, reduce errors, and unlock new business value.

Expect a session that’s both pragmatic and technical – with a clear business lens – not just what’s possible, but how you can get started too.
