Microsoft Syntex AMA: New innovations that help you manage your content at scale

Hi Mario!

We have just rolled out a fix to allow a tenant with seat licenses to also use pay-as-you-go. This way a seat licensed user can keep doing what they've been doing, and a non-seat-licensed user in the same tenant can use the pay-as-you-go features as well.

Generally speaking, the seat license conveys features like content query, universal annotation, our solutions templates for contracts and accounts payable, etc. which are not available in a pay-as-you-go basis (we're not going to charge you for each query or each inch of ink that you annotate - lol). And yes, you can still add seats to an existing seat-licensed deployment through the usual "true up" process with our folks in the field.

The overlap between pay-as-you-go and the seat are specifically these features:

• Unstructured document processing
• Prebuilt document processing

Both of those can be used either via the seat or pay-as-you-go. We are working on adding structured document processing to be pay-as-you-go in the upcoming months (until then, you use AI Builder credits for it as usual). We are also rolling out content assembly as pay-as-you-go, so like the ones listed above, you can use that as needed pay-as-you-go without the seat.

New features like image tagging, taxonomy tagging, translation and more will launch exclusively as pay-as-you-go, stay tuned for those! Generally we're trying to provide as much flexibility as we can!
