What are these key challenges?  

Many businesses using Dynamics 365 encounter significant challenges with document management, including inefficiencies, security concerns, and difficulties in scaling their workflows. From handling high document volumes to ensuring security, these issues can slow productivity and expose your organization to risks. Let’s explore the most common challenges companies face with Dynamics 365 document management and how Filer for Dynamics addresses them effectively. 

 

Simplify Permissions and Secure Your Documents 

One of the most significant challenges with Dynamics 365 is its inability to synchronize document permissions with SharePoint. When documents are uploaded into Dynamics, the permissions often don’t transfer to SharePoint, potentially exposing sensitive information to unauthorized users. 

How Filer for Dynamics Solves This: 

Filer for Dynamics automatically synchronizes permissions from Dynamics 365 to SharePoint, ensuring documents remain secure and accessible only to authorized personnel. This not only prevents data breaches but also simplifies compliance with data protection regulations, such as GDPR.  

The Benefits:

  • Prevent unauthorized access to sensitive information. 
  • Ensure compliance with data protection standards. 
  • Save time managing manual permissions.

 

Scale Dynamics 365 Document Management Without Overloading Systems 

As companies grow, Dynamics 365 can struggle to scale with high document volumes. Without proper tools, SharePoint becomes overloaded, leading to storage limitations and performance issues. For instance, organizations generating hundreds of thousands of documents annually often face disorganized systems and slowed operations. 

How Filer for Dynamics Solves This: 

Filer for Dynamics provides scalable solutions tailored to high document volumes. By optimizing storage and maintaining organization, it ensures Dynamics 365 and SharePoint work efficiently even as your business scales.  

The Benefits:

  • Keep systems performing at optimal levels. 
  • Avoid storage-related disruptions. 
  • Maintain document organization as your business grows.

 

Improve User Productivity with a Unified Interface 

Users often find navigating between Dynamics 365 and SharePoint cumbersome. SharePoint’s interface is unfamiliar for many, which can lead to low adoption rates and inefficiencies. 

How Filer for Dynamics Solves This: 

Filer for Dynamics keeps users within the familiar Dynamics 365 interface, enabling seamless document management without the need to switch platforms. This unified approach reduces friction, boosts adoption, and ensures users can work efficiently. 

The Benefits:

  • Reduce the learning curve for teams. 
  • Increase user adoption and satisfaction. 
  • Simplify workflows with a familiar interface.

 

Find Documents Faster with Enhanced Search 

Dynamics 365’s native search capabilities often fall short when dealing with large volumes of documents. Metadata inconsistencies and unclear file structures make it challenging to locate specific files quickly. 

How Filer for Dynamics Solves This: 

Filer for Dynamics enhances search functionality by syncing metadata and providing consistent, clear document structures. Users can locate documents in seconds, reducing frustration and saving time. 

The Benefits:

  • Save time searching for critical documents.
  • Eliminate frustration caused by disorganized data.
  • Improve team productivity.

 

Ensure Security and Compliance for Dynamics Documents 

Data security and compliance are critical for businesses using Dynamics 365, particularly when dealing with sensitive customer or project information. Dynamics 365 alone does not always provide the robust security controls needed for comprehensive compliance. 

How Filer for Dynamics Solves This: 

Filer for Dynamics ensures that document permissions are aligned and securely managed across both Dynamics 365 and SharePoint. By maintaining strict access controls, organizations can meet compliance requirements with ease while safeguarding sensitive information. 

The Benefits:

  • Strengthen security for sensitive documents. 
  • Meet compliance requirements effortlessly. 
  • Maintain control over access and visibility.
