Filer for SharePoint

SharePoint Document Management System

  • Secure and compliant
  • Enhanced search
  • Intuitive interface
  • Retention & disposition

The Problem

SharePoint can become chaotic due to organic growth if not managed

  • SharePoint is built for flexibility and collaboration, with little governance. It does not provide guardrails and automations to ensure files are always saved to the right location.
  • SharePoint requires a lot of customization and maintenance to ensure document metadata, permissions and policies can be automated at scale using existing data sources.
  • SharePoint’s search and document viewing capabilities are limited, requiring users to jump between different systems, email and document editing apps.

The Solution

Elevate SharePoint from a document repository to a scalable electronic document and records management system (EDRMS) with Filer

Context driven search
Context driven search

Filer replaces complex folder structures with easy to remember and familiar ‘context driven’ search which can be personalized for each department. Common examples may include project codes, legal cases, customers, suppliers, students, employees, patients and assets. But the list goes on!

Metadata automatically applied

Filer automatically applies metadata at a document level to ensure retention or disposition rules are set and documents surface through metadata driven search. This can be metadata pulled from an existing data source or manually chosen fields for more custom scenarios.

This works with or without E5/A5 licensing!*

Automated document routing

Filer can ingest and automatically file documents via Power Automate or API integration to ensure all documents are saved, named and labelled correctly.

This works with or without premium Power Automate licensing!*

Built-in document viewer

Filer’s intuitive document viewer allows users to select and view all documents relating to a context from a single view. Supporting over 70+ file formats from PDF to CAD files, users can immediately consume information without downloading documents or opening multiple applications.

Configurable search structure

Filer provides flexible search filters which can be configured per department or use case. This allows users the option to navigate documents in a familiar way for situations where metadata driven search is not efficient.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Filer replace SharePoint?

Not at all – SharePoint has some fantastic tools for productivity and collaboration you will still utilise.

What is Filer’s Data capture engine?

Power Apps or Microsoft Forms, in fact, anything! It’s fully integrated into Power Automate, allowing data to be consumed from pretty much anywhere.

Does Filer integrate with third-party systems?

Filer has an OpenAPI – almost all modern-day systems will be capable of API integrations.

Can I utilise the Power Platform with Filer?

Yes – Filer provides the ‘Send to Filer’ action which allows direct document and content submission from any source using Power Automate (which works with any Microsoft licensing).

Does Filer enable Subject Access Requests/GDPR compliance?

As part of the Microsoft 365 platform, you will be able to use Purview’s capabilities. In addition to this, Filer has the capability to redact and share specific documents with third parties with the Briefcase feature.

How does Filer secure my data?

All your data never leaves your Microsoft tenant and therefore, all your IT Governance settings apply to Filer.

What is Filer’s workflow engine?

We use Power Automate for Filer, our Microsoft Document Management System’s workflow engine.

When should I use Filer’s retention/policy management engine?

Only the higher tiers of Microsoft licensing such as E5 provide this out of the box where Filer would respect any configurations setup. Organisations without access to E5, would use Filer’s built-in engine which bridges this gap in functionality for E1 and E3 users.

Which AI or LLM models does Filer use for Intelligent Document Processing?

Filer uses a combination of Microsoft AI Document Intelligence, Microsoft OpenAI and functionality built directly into Filer. This mix allows customers to utilize the leading capabilities of Microsoft AI natively but with reduced costs by performing large scale operations locally with FIler such as OCR, Resize and Convert functions.
