Discoveries at the intelligence layer with Mike Askren

Content’s value is in the intelligence it brings, regardless of what system it’s found in. But there is a lot of enterprise content across many, many systems.

On The Mostly Unstructured Podcast, KeyMark CMO Clay Tuten sits down with Mike Askren, VP of Product at Hyland, on how document management and ECM are becoming an intelligence layer for agentic AI, and the right size and scale problems to tackle with agents.

Topics explored:

• Why has enterprise value moved from storing and securing content to extracting intelligence from it?
• How content federation connects AI services to content across on-prem, cloud, and hyperscaler systems.
