Investing in our people is one of the most important things we do at Mastercopy. When Hyland, a global leader in enterprise content management, invited partners to an intensive training programme in Portugal, we jumped at the opportunity. Our tech team travelled to Lisbon for a week of hands-on learning that has directly enhanced the service we deliver to our clients.
Why Hyland?
Hyland is the company behind some of the most widely deployed content management and workflow automation platforms in the world. Their solutions power document-intensive processes in healthcare, finance, government, and professional services. Mastercopy partners with Hyland to deliver document management solutions, including our own DocFlow platform, which builds on Hyland's core technology to provide a tailored experience for our clients.
Staying current with Hyland's latest innovations ensures that we can offer our clients the most capable and secure document management solutions available.
What the Training Covered
The Portugal programme was intensive and practical. Over five days, our team worked through advanced topics including intelligent document capture using AI and machine learning, workflow automation for complex business processes, integration techniques for connecting Hyland platforms with ERP, CRM, and line-of-business applications, cloud deployment strategies and hybrid architecture design, and advanced security and compliance configurations.
Each session combined classroom theory with hands-on labs, giving our engineers the opportunity to build and test real solutions in a controlled environment. The practical focus meant that our team returned to Thornaby ready to apply what they had learned immediately.
Intelligent Document Capture
One of the most exciting areas covered was intelligent capture. Traditional document scanning relies on templates and manual classification, which is slow and error-prone. Hyland's latest capture technology uses machine learning to automatically identify document types, extract key data, and route documents to the correct workflow without human intervention. This is a major advance for businesses that process high volumes of paperwork, such as invoices, contracts, and correspondence.
Workflow Automation
Automating document workflows eliminates manual steps, reduces errors, and accelerates processing times. During the training, our team built automated workflows for common business processes such as invoice approval, contract review, and employee onboarding. These workflows can be adapted and deployed for any of our clients, saving hours of administrative effort each week.
Cloud and Hybrid Deployments
More businesses are moving to the cloud, but many still need to maintain some on-premise infrastructure. Hyland's platform supports hybrid deployments that span both environments, providing flexibility without compromising security or performance. Our team gained deep expertise in designing and implementing these hybrid architectures, ensuring we can support clients regardless of their infrastructure strategy.
The Value for Our Clients
Every hour our team invested in training translates directly into better service for our clients. Whether you need to digitise a paper-heavy process, automate document workflows, or integrate your document management system with other business applications, our Hyland-certified engineers have the skills to deliver. Combined with Mastercopy's DocFlow platform, we offer a complete document management solution that is powerful, flexible, and backed by expert local support.
