The arrival of widely accessible generative AI applications heralds not only disruption but opportunity across sectors, businesses and job types. Since the arrival of ChatGPT in November 2022, generative AI has experienced a meteoric rise with many new tools and use cases emerging—providing a powerful glimpse at the technology’s vast potential to transform how people live and work.

Organisations are exploring how generative AI can be used to unlock business value, supercharge efficiency and productivity, and open the door to entirely new products, services and business models. One of the most exciting developments is the ability to train generative AI models to provide accurate, contextually relevant answers based on the specific documents housed within a company’s network, rather than relying on general information from the internet. This capability opens a world of possibilities for organisations that have digitised their documents, enabling them to use applications such as Microsoft Copilot, GitHub Copilot, or IntelliCode to tap into a wealth of historical and operational insights with unprecedented ease.

Sabinet Digitisation stands at the forefront of this digital revolution, offering future-forward companies a pathway to unlock the full potential of their data. By digitising documents such as old minutes of meetings, annual reports, customer data, and other vital records, businesses can build a robust digital repository that forms the backbone for AI-driven insights.

The shift from internet to intranet knowledge

Traditionally, generative AI models have drawn from vast swathes of internet data to generate responses. While this is powerful, it often lacks the specificity required to address nuanced, company-specific queries. With AI technologies, there is a significant shift towards leveraging intranet-based knowledge. This means that AI can be trained to reference and learn from the exact documents that matter most to your business, ensuring that the insights provided are not only accurate but also tailored to your unique operational needs.

Imagine a scenario where your team can ask, “What were the key outcomes of our last annual general meeting?” or “How has customer feedback evolved over the past decade?” and receive instant, precise answers based on your company’s own records. This is the promise of integrating AI with digitised documents, and it is a game-changer for businesses looking to enhance decision-making, improve efficiency, and maintain a competitive edge.

Why digitisation is key

For generative AI to access and utilise company-specific data, the data must first be in a digital format that the AI can process. This is where Sabinet’s digitisation service comes into play. Sabinet offers a comprehensive solution that converts physical documents into digital assets, ensuring that no piece of valuable information is left behind. Whether it’s decades-old meeting minutes, historical financial records, or customer interaction logs, Sabinet ensures that every document is meticulously scanned, indexed, and stored in a format that AI technologies can easily access and analyse.

The benefits of this process extend beyond AI integration. Digitisation enhances the security, accessibility, and longevity of your company’s documents. It also supports compliance with regulatory requirements and facilitates seamless collaboration across departments and geographies. With a digitised document repository, your business is better equipped to navigate the complexities of the modern digital environment.

Sabinet has 20 years’ digitisation experience and can digitise 13 000 pages a day. Be it for law firms, corporate businesses or academic institutions, our specialised and customised digitisation services include scanning services, document processing, a metadata service and content management system to preserve documents for easy electronic access.

The future of business intelligence

As AI continues to evolve, the ability to leverage internal data will become increasingly crucial for businesses seeking to stay ahead of the competition. Sabinet’s digitisation service is not just about preserving documents; it’s about transforming them into dynamic assets that drive innovation and intelligence. By digitising your documents today, you are laying the foundation for an AI-powered future where insights are instant, accurate, and deeply aligned with your business goals.

The combination of Sabinet’s digitisation service and AI technologies offers a powerful opportunity for businesses to enhance their operations. By making historical and operational data easily accessible to AI, companies can unlock new levels of efficiency, insight, and strategic capability. The future of business intelligence lies not just in the vast expanse of the internet but in the carefully curated, digitised knowledge that exists within your own company—and Sabinet is here to help you harness it.

For example, a query about past customer preferences could draw directly from years of digitised customer feedback stored in your system. This allows for a deeper, more informed response that can guide strategic decisions and customer engagement strategies. Similarly, enquiries about historical business performance can be answered with precision, drawing on digitised annual reports and financial statements.
