Has your offspring already written their homework, term paper, and even thesis using AI, while you're just getting started with tools like Chat GPT?  

You might think that generating ideas and texts isn't what your company needs (even though it might be exactly what it desperately needs). However, text generation is far from the only AI function that can revolutionize how your business operates. Artificial intelligence can be integrated into daily processes and records, making it the most efficient employee, working anytime, without breaks, professionally and accurately.  

Wouldn't you also want AI to free up your team's hands, improve overall productivity, accelerate processes, and perfectly complete tasks? We probably know the answer.

Content

Yes, we live in an era where technological progress and process automation are essential for humanity's functioning. We want everything done quickly, flawlessly, and to be one step ahead of the competition. This is where AI comes in. 

This scenario frightens some people (let's be honest, quite a few movies have been made about humanity's extinction by terrifying artificial intelligence). He who does not adapt will not survive.  

Content is the foundation of every organization 

What do we mean by content? It's the data a company uses to create better products and services, but also on employee growth and more efficient teamwork. The amount of data is growing exponentially, and your company is no exception. However, this content needs to be organized and managed with processes, security, and compliance.  

Innovative AI-powered content and data management solutions are becoming the standard today. They will enable your company to accelerate, get ahead of the competition, and make your data even more valuable for the growth of your organization and employees.  

First, look at your content, data, and processes, and only then flirt with artificial intelligence.  

What came first – the chicken or the egg? If you have a similar dilemma when organizing your company and don't know where to start, we offer you a stepping stone.  

First, try asking yourself these questions:

How do we maintain our data and content today? Is it a file server or cloud storage?  

Is our data structured?  

Are we using metadata?

Does our business have a data structure?  

If you haven't resolved these questions, set aside AI integration for a moment. First, organize your records of orders, customers, products, and other information. Well-structured data and content will enable artificial intelligence to effectively extract and use your content for process management and automation.  

We address these questions and more in companies on a daily basis. Our recommendation?  

SharePoint is the world's largest and most flexible cloud content management platform. It powers the entire Microsoft 365 – OneDrive, Teams, Syntex, Viva, Loop, and Stream. Your SharePoint content is the primary data source for AI. Most companies already use SharePoint today. If you're not one of them yet, artificial intelligence should be the final argument for deploying it in your company as well. Thanks to SharePoint Premium and Syntex, you can Turn your company data into company gold that will help automate processes, improve employee efficiency, and enhance customer experience. 

Surprise, surprise, Enterprise! 

To have ready Data in the right place and accessible to every employee is a topic that we specialize in. Therefore, we can confidently state, in the Queen's English, that the most effective model is Enterprise solution in Microsoft 365, which is custom-built to the needs of every company. The model's strongest qualities are simple cooperation and team awareness.  

Another excellent feature of this solution issecurity. arises based on a unified approach to content in Microsoft Teams, which brings synchronization and information sharing in the intranet combined with simple communication in chats, audio and video calls, and applications integrated into Teams.  

Artificial intelligence further emphasizes these benefits. SharePoint, as the backbone of this solution, enables the creation of rich applications that make process, data, and document management simple and clear.

Cherry on top for Enterprise?  

Data prepared this way can be provided to artificial intelligence., which can use them quickly and effectively through SharePoint. The result of its activity will be added to the integrated system as structured data, so will be possible to further process and use for decision-making processes, calculations, or automation. That sounds quite tempting, wouldn't you say?  

How specifically to save time and increase productivity thanks to artificial intelligence?  

  • AI can draft contracts based on information entered into a form. – this reduces the need for lengthy manual data entry.  
  • It can extract data from invoices and place it into an accounting system. – this streamlines the accounting process, reduces errors, and saves the company costs.  
  • It can be customized to suit specific business needs (e.g., labeling, workflow automation, document processing) – this allows organizations to implement AI according to specific needs without compromising functionality or security. 

Automatic data entry filling using AI 

You can enrich your company records with SharePoint database columns and artificial intelligence. automatically complete detected values. Through AI document analysis, it is possible recognize document types or content and Categorize information if sensitive or containing personal data (addresses, phone numbers, credit cards, and the like).  

Besides that, AI can intelligently add information to documents based on their context, which increases their relevance and value for your company. For example, it can automatically suggest keywords or document tags based on their content, making it easier to find related documents in the future. This AI-powered feature allows employees to focus on their core work while the AI handles efficient content organization. 

Which content platform should be used to be AI-ready?   

Content platforms should do more than just store files. They must offer comprehensive solutions that are ready for features on any file throughout the lifecycle of your important documents. The key is that your content platform supports the documents and data you use within the company. It should work with metadata and processes over the basic Office package (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, or Loop), but also provide the widest possible future content support.  

We are returning to SharePoint again, which offers unparalleled support for over 400 file types. It also ensures document management, such as PDFs, to which you can add annotations, comments, mentions, or tasks.  

Leverage data from external suppliers and customers  

Thanks to an external document portal in SharePoint, your company can obtain data from your customers or suppliers. This can include invoices, orders, or supplier reports that AI can directly extract and use for Process management or business report generation.  

External suppliers or customers send contracts or orders for signature using a digital signature, which will subsequently allow artificial intelligence to initiate automated process steps. Despite the automation, emphasis is placed Safety first – AI will analyze and select high-risk contracts that require your direct attention (including a list of identified risks). 

AI Use Cases for Your Business  

  • Creation of an online advertising strategy and ad copy 
  • Generating images, texts, and descriptions for products and services 
  • Data analysis for customer segmentation 
  • Automated purchasing of inventory and goods for production processes

Microsoft Copilot vs. ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini: Why You Need a Different AI Tool for Corporate Data

Let’s be honest right from the start: your people are already using AI. Some have ChatGPT rewrite their emails, others fed yesterday’s meeting notes into Claude to extract action items, and a salesperson used Gemini to summarize a competitor’s offer. They’re doing this for a good reason—it saves them time. They often do this on personal accounts that you don’t even know about.  And that’s exactly the point. The question for companies today isn’t „should we use AI or not?“ That ship has long since sailed. The question is: Will the AI that the company controls—and that runs on your data—be secure, or will it cause an uncontrolled outflow of company information to third-party servers, which has long been underway? Let’s get straight to the point.  What does „using Microsoft 365 in a business“ actually mean? Microsoft 365 isn’t just Word, Excel, and Outlook, for which you pay licensing fees. It’s an entire ecosystem—SharePoint for documents and the intranet, Teams for communication, Power BI for reports, and above all, Microsoft 365 Copilot—that is, AI that isn’t just floating in the air but works directly on your data.  That’s a fundamental difference from what you might imagine when you think of „using AI.“ Copilot in M365 doesn’t just know the internet—it knows your entire company. It knows what’s in your SharePoint documents, what’s been discussed in Teams, and what’s in your calendar and emails. And it operates within the permissions you already have in place at your company.  Most of the companies we know don’t even use 20% of what they’re paying for in Microsoft 365. The licenses are active, Copilot is right at your fingertips, and yet employees are still copying data into third-party tools. That’s exactly the kind of nonsense worth eliminating.  Where does Microsoft 365 actually save time? Specifically, not just in marketing buzzwords. The most common scenarios we see with clients: […]
