OVERVIEW
Give business documents a structured digital home.
Business documents become difficult to manage when they are scattered across email attachments, local folders, shared drives and individual computers.
Incodiv Tech builds SharePoint document management solutions that help organizations structure files around departments, document types, projects, customers and other meaningful business categories.
Using SharePoint Online and relevant Microsoft 365 capabilities, we can create document libraries, metadata structures, views, access models and workflow-enabled processes designed around your organization's requirements.

BUSINESS CHALLENGES
When document management becomes a daily operational problem.
Documents Are Scattered
Important business files are spread across email, desktops, shared folders and different storage locations.
Multiple Versions Exist
Employees create duplicate copies and struggle to identify the relevant working document.
Files Are Hard to Find
Inconsistent naming and folder structures make document discovery unnecessarily difficult.
Reviews Depend on Email
Documents move between reviewers as attachments, making status and feedback difficult to follow.
Access Is Unclear
Teams need a more structured way to provide relevant users with access to business documents.
Document History Is Fragmented
Teams may have limited visibility into document changes, review stages and previous working versions.
04
DOCUMENT LIFECYCLE
Structure documents from creation to business use.
01
Create
Upload or create the document in the appropriate SharePoint library.
02
Review
Route the document through the relevant review or collaboration process.
03
Approve
Capture the appropriate business decision and update document status.
04
Maintain
Keep the document organized for ongoing access, updates or relevant lifecycle requirements.
05
INFORMATION ARCHITECTURE
Organize documents by business meaning.
A document management solution should make information easier to understand and retrieve. Instead of relying entirely on deeply nested folders, SharePoint can use metadata and views to organize content in more flexible ways.
The right structure depends on how your teams classify, search, review and use documents in their daily work.

METADATA & VIEWS

Metadata adds structured business information to each document so content can be categorized, filtered and presented in useful ways.
Depending on your requirements, documents can be classified using department, document type, project, customer, owner, status, year or other business fields.

VERSION MANAGEMENT
