- Central Storage and Microsoft Azure AI Search Capability: Central Storage and Microsoft Azure Search Capability: Helios is a central hub for storing and searching data and documents from multiple repositories. Helios uses Microsoft Azure AI services to review and create summaries of the data and files and for the extract of data along with built-in Optical Character Recognition (OCR).

EQuIS Helios accelerates the move of our EQuIS software into a new era. EQuIS data management is evolving into knowledge management, unlocking immense potential for our valued clients. EQuIS knowledge management promises efficiency gains, improved data analysis and decision support, and enhanced collaboration across stakeholders. We have many clients with massive amounts of EQuIS and legacy data, and Helios will lower the costs of data migrations and improve the connections to non-EQuIS data.
