Box recently announced its acquisition of Alphamoon, a Poland-based company focused on intelligent document handling. This key acquisition is expected to enhance Box’s content management platform by introducing automated features for extracting metadata from complex documents through optical character recognition, advanced language processing and user-friendly, no-code interfaces.
This acquisition complements Box’s earlier purchase of Crooze, a no-code workflow automation platform, and furthers the company’s vision for its Intelligent Content Management platform. Combining these technologies should enable Box to move beyond storing and managing content to processing and automating the workflows around content intelligently. (Forbes)
