Embracing SharePoint: Significant Cost Savings and Streamlined Document Management

July 29th 2024

In 2024, we’ve witnessed a surge of projects to eliminate the substantial costs associated with third-party document management systems. Many organizations have realized that their requirements are relatively standard and already possess a powerful tool in Microsoft SharePoint.

Despite significant investments in systems like OnBase or Documentum, users still predominantly rely on Outlook, Teams, and SharePoint for daily document collaboration. These third-party systems often being used to deliver more structured and intuitive documents for situations not naturally solved by vanilla SharePoint. But what if you could just plug those gaps instead of rebuild from the ground up?

Recognizing the inefficiency of purchasing two enterprise ready document management systems, numerous organizations have transitioned away from the likes of OnBase or Documentum and consolidated processes onto SharePoint, enhanced by Encodian add-ons to ‘plug the gaps’.
