Your O&M Documentation in SharePoint

O&M Manuals delivered directly into your SharePoint tenant, full site setup, configuration, and training.

O&M Documentation in SharePoint

Did you know we can also publish your O&M manual into your SharePoint tenant? As well as chasing your supply chain, collecting the O&M and related documentation, managing the review and approval process, and publishing in to one or more of our inhouse proprietary O&M manual formats (NaviDOC, PrintReady PDF, Files & Folders, Printed Binders), we also publish directly into SharePoint.

A Document Management System (DMS) is a facility to store documentation. Microsoft SharePoint is one of the leading and most commonly used document management systems today. Having rapid access to your O&M documentation in digital and updatable format is vital to ensuring successful management and maintenance of your buildings and estates. COGNICA's systems publish O&M documentation directly into your own SharePoint tenant, giving you full control of your data.

What does publish to SharePoint mean?

We will work with you to setup your O&M site in your SharePoint tenant building the space, site, pages, content types and setup the document libraries. Using our inhouse Matrix Publisher application we publish your completed O&M manual into your SharePoint libraries. All documents are enriched with detailed meta data to result in a highly structured, easily searchable O&M manual available in your own SharePoint tenant.

Why would I have my O&M manuals in SharePoint?

You likely have a SharePoint Hub based Intranet accessible by all internal users and external guest users. Integrating your building / facilities maintenance O&M documentation in SharePoint gives you centralised ownership over all your O&M manuals, give you User access management & granular permissions, document version control, audit tracking, and you can easily manage document updates within your team. And perhaps the best part for you is there are no additional hosting costs since you will likely already have SharePoint as part of your O365 licensing.

How will COGNICA help with setting up SharePoint?

During collection of your O&M documentation through our Matrix platform, we’ll ensure everything is highly structured with the required sections, meta data, versions, and approval status etc. Your IT team will setup secure access for us to a specific area of your SharePoint tenant. We take care of the rest configuring the SharePoint pages, content types, document libraries etc and then publish the O&M directly into your SharePoint. We’ll provide training for your champions and we can offer ongoing support as required.

Can the O&M manual be updated in SharePoint?

Yes. It’s in your SharePoint site, under your control, and incorporates SharePoint’s built-in version control and approval workflows. Your process can be as simple or complex as you need it to be. We can help get you started with this should you require assistance.

Can I have O&M manuals for multiple buildings in SharePoint?

Yes absolutely. SharePoint is perfectly designed for this and we are experts are delivering O&M manuals for multiple buildings into SharePoint. Our team will help design the site as much or as little as necessary, ahead of publishing O&M manuals into the right location for you.

Is this suitable just for new buildings or can it be used for upgrade projects?

Both. We routinely deliver new build projects or upgrade projects into customer SharePoint sites. It’s a highly flexible, and highly effective way to manage your O&M manuals.
