Document management in Microsoft 365: find faster, manage securely, work AI-ready

All documents in one place – structured, compliant and ready for AI.

Less searching, more working: document management in M365

Your documents are stored in SharePoint, Teams, file servers and business applications – but no one can find what they are looking for. 

In most companies, the document landscape has grown over time: different systems, no consistent standards and no business-specific views. This costs productivity, creates compliance risks – and prevents AI tools such as Copilot from reaching their full potential. 

With the novaCapta M365 Content Hub, you create a central, structured platform for all content, based on your existing Microsoft 365 environment.

Why document management does not work in many companies

Employees spend up to 20 percent of their working time searching for documents.  The reasons are almost always the same:

Distributed systems instead of central access

Documents are spread across DMS systems, file servers, local storage locations and business applications. Without a connection between the systems, media disruptions and information silos arise.

Documents without business context

Document storage is organized around systems instead of customers, projects or cases. Relevant documents have to be searched for and compiled across multiple sources.

High effort for compliance

Access rights, retention periods and sensitive data are difficult to control without central governance. With every new document, complexity increases.

The novaCapta M365 Content Hub: all documents in one place – structured, secure, AI-ready

Employees find information faster, business departments work in familiar structures and your IT team retains control over compliance and lifecycle management. 

Our Content Hub uses the full power of Microsoft 365 – SharePoint, Teams, Purview and Copilot – and adds proven solution components for navigation, metadata and governance. This creates a central foundation for a wide range of business applications – from customer projects and contract management to legal matters.

For business departments & project managers

  • Business-specific navigation so documents can be found quickly by project, customer or case

  • Store emails directly from Outlook in the right context

  • Fewer system changes, more focus on content-related work

Read the case study

It was important to us not to overwhelm our employees with too many changes at once. At the same time, we wanted to retain what worked well and use the new, modern tools in a targeted way to create real added value in day-to-day work. And we achieved exactly that.

Our document management system

The solution components for your Content Hub

Microsoft 365 already covers many requirements for modern document management. Our additional solution components close the remaining gaps and turn it into a powerful Content Hub.
Outlook add-in
Store emails and files from Outlook directly in the right storage areas. This makes relevant knowledge centrally available and usable across the entire company.
Business-specific navigation
Clear business-specific entry points into different information areas, for example teams, projects or product worlds. Individually tailored to your requirements. Case-based document storage is also possible at any time.
Metadata management
Enrich documents with metadata and find them faster using dynamic filters. Our nC Doc View and Action solution enables metadata-based document display with search, business-specific filters and an action menu.
Governance & provisioning
Centrally manage standards and rules, control the lifecycle and provide templates as needed. This allows teams and sites to be provisioned consistently and managed throughout their entire lifecycle.
Working in cases
Upload documents directly in the context of a case. Metadata is automatically transferred. If required, additional document information can be added manually.

Content and document management with AI: how Microsoft 365 becomes an intelligent workplace

Only structured content creates the foundation for the meaningful use of AI. The M365 Content Hub provides the data basis for AI-supported document processing with Microsoft Copilot, Azure OpenAI and intelligent agents. Our expert Wolfgang Raestrup explains why this matters in the video interview. 

In line with this, Microsoft is expanding Copilot to SharePoint and OneDrive: agents, whether pre-built or individually created for a specific purpose, can summarize documents, extract relevant information, answer questions or act as sparring partners for new ideas. Self-created agents can be shared with colleagues and thus support knowledge transfer and collaboration.

Generate

Get to finished documents faster: generate new content and summaries, create similar documents, for example SOWs, and support editorial work.

Analyze & extract

Automated instead of manual: receipt recognition, processing and classification of documents.

Evaluate

Identify risks in cases and documents early: compliance and security risks, sentiment analysis.

Find & research

Make better decisions: text analysis for research and decision-making, visualization of complex issues and relationships.

Frequently asked questions about our document management software

Do we need a separate DMS or is Microsoft 365 enough?

For most medium-sized companies, Microsoft 365 with SharePoint, Teams and Purview already covers a large share of DMS requirements. Our Content Hub closes the remaining gaps, for example business-specific navigation, metadata management and governance, without introducing a third-party system. This saves license costs.

How long does it take to implement a Content Hub?

That depends on the scope. We plan every implementation in phases so that you can see initial results quickly and roll out the solution step by step.

Is the Content Hub also suitable for companies that already use a DMS?

Yes. Many of our customers gradually consolidate existing DMS systems into Microsoft 365. We support you with the step-by-step consolidation into Microsoft 365.

How secure are our documents in the M365 Content Hub?

Microsoft 365 offers comprehensive security and compliance tools with Purview, Sensitivity Labels and Data Loss Prevention. In combination with a clear governance strategy, you can meet requirements such as ISO 27001 and GDPR.

Does the Content Hub also work with Copilot and AI?

Absolutely. And that is one of its biggest advantages. Structured document management is the prerequisite for Copilot and AI agents to work reliably. The Content Hub creates the data basis for intelligent summaries, research and document automation.
