Why
Merge the power of Content Manager and Feature Extraction to be more power full: 1 + 1 = 3
Key capabilities of Content Manager are now available for Feature Extraction and visa versa.
The “Content Manager” Resources Catalog has been extended with the management of Generic Resources and Asset Resources. On the other way, “Feature Extraction” AI capabilities become available for traditional Content Manager Jobs.
