The Egnyte platform has been extended to support the classification of documents per business document type. It enables the Egnyte governance solution to assign documents to business document types, including invoices, contracts, NDAs, or financial statements. From a machine learning / AI perspective, it’s a natural language processing (NLP) problem—a classification task. The input is the raw text form of the document, and the output is the name of the class to which it belongs.

Did you know that 52 percent of all rework globally is caused by poor data and communication?1 In the construction industry, coordination between the office, subcontractors, partners, and multiple jobsites has always been a challenge. And with increasingly large files stemming from BIM, drone footage, and VR/AR applications, it is becoming more difficult to ensure everyone is in sync. Throw in COVID-19 and you have the perfect storm to significantly disrupt the pace of growth.

Life sciences teams are more decentralized than ever, yet the need for speed persists. Even before the pandemic, the ability to bring together quality, clinical, and regulatory personnel to hit project timelines is what separated successful projects from those that languished. The pandemic added another barrier to an already complex venture.

Egnyte is a unified platform to securely govern content everywhere. We manage billions of files and petabytes of content. One of the core infrastructure components powering such a scale is called MDB or metadata database. It is a cluster of hundreds of MySQL instances storing billions of metadata records. It stores information about files, versions, folders, custom metadata, and their relationships.

The construction industry is not unfamiliar with disruption. In 2008, the Construction Engineering Index plunged 68 percent. Firms that survived the financial crisis that year faced severe margin pressure – dropping from 5 percent in 2007 to 1 percent by 2010. The industry had to act fast and looked for more innovative ways to cut costs and boost profitability.

Five hundred years ago, astronomers believed the Earth was at the center of the universe. They calculated the orbits of the planets, the sun, and other stars based on this truth. Turns out, these calculations were not very accurate and astronomers had to repeatedly and incorrectly model their equations to conform with this truth. That was until Nicolaus Copernicus challenged the premise of the Earth at the center of the universe and posited the Sun to be at the center of the solar system.

Chris Moxham, Ph.D., is the Chief Scientific Officer at Fulcrum Therapeutics, an innovative biotech addressing the causes of genetically defined disease. By developing treatments that address the root cause of disease, Fulcrum goes a step further than creating therapies that just manage symptoms and develops treatments that alter the genetic expression of disease, enabling life-changing outcomes.
