Kyocera Document Solutions South Africa (KDZA) has announced the addition of Square 9 to its solutions portfolio, expanding its enterprise content management (ECM) capabilities to help businesses digitise, automate, and secure their content more efficiently.
Square 9 is a cloud-first content services platform that consolidates capture, forms, workflow automation, and search into one seamless environment. With its embedded InquireAI engine, Square 9 offers a combination of simplicity, speed, and intelligence, making the solution an ideal fit for African businesses looking to accelerate their digital transformation. The software enables users to extract data from documents using natural language prompts, eliminating the need for templates or manual indexing.
The launch is made possible through KDZA’s partnership with Johannesburg-based Document Automation Solutions (DASSA), Square 9’s strategic distributor for Africa, middle East and Asia.
