SharePoint Premium: A short guide to Microsoft’s new AI-powered content management platform

SharePoint Premium is Microsoft’s latest platform for content management, experiences, and governance. It is the next stage in the evolution of Microsoft Syntex, the AI- and Machine Learning-assisted document processing tool.

SharePoint Premium consolidates the functions of the original SharePoint, as well as Syntex, to supercharge one’s experience, processing, and direction of content with AI, automation, and enhanced security.

Below are answers to some of the most pressing questions about the new platform.

What are the key features of SharePoint Premium?

 Content Experiences
SharePoint Premium provides new ways to maximize user engagement, productivity, and streamline workflows through AI-powered functions like predictive insights and intelligent content recommendations for documents.

 Content Processing
SharePoint Premium provides users with AI-assisted automation for document processing, content tagging, content assembly, content insights, and eSignature. This allows users to maximize efficiency and content value.

 Content Governance

With the help of AI tools, SharePoint Premium ensures users uphold security and compliance through effective automation of policies, risk management, and necessary workflows that meet regulatory requirements.

What are the current challenges with content processing, experience, and management, and how can SharePoint Premium solve these issues?

 Poor productivity

Manual data entry delays the processing of content and data. With the use of an AI-powered platform like SharePoint Premium, a user can automate the capture and classification of content, vastly reducing the time and energy they use to spend on manual data entry.

 Too much information
Large swathes of information take a huge amount of time and human focus to parse through manually. Through SharePoint Premium, you can extract and classify the essential data from your content and documents in a matter of minutes, not hours, while retaining the user’s brain power to fulfill other important tasks.

 Security issues and losing information

Standard documents and content are at high-risk of security breaches. With the AI-assisted security capabilities of SharePoint Premium, you can ensure your data is completely safe, only seen by those who are meant to see it.

 Improved collaboration
Current content management systems are not always easy to work on with multiple people. SharePoint Premium allows users to co-author and collaborate on documents, share information with their colleagues, and integrate the functions of the platform with Microsoft Teams.

 Save money
As SharePoint Premium enhances productivity, automates workflows, and reduces a user’s to-do list, the platform—though provided at a higher price point than the original version—could ultimately save money for an organization in the long-term.
