    SharePoint and MacroView

    Document management in SharePoint, with MacroView

    You already work in Microsoft 365. Your documents are in SharePoint, Teams and mailboxes. We set up SharePoint so everyone files correctly, finds everything and nobody has to change the way they work.

    In shortWhy SharePoint alone falls shortWhat we set upMacroViewFor whomOr M-Files?Questions

    In short

    SharePoint that works like your organisation

    • Information model
    • Saving from Office
    • Automatic filing

    SharePoint becomes full document management when its structure matches how your organisation works and people file from the tools they already use. SoftAdvice sets up the information model in SharePoint, adds MacroView so documents and e-mails are filed from Outlook, Word, Excel and Explorer, and automates the filing. Everything stays in your own Microsoft 365 environment, with your existing permissions.

    Sound familiar?

    Why SharePoint alone falls short

    Hover over or tap a card to see what we change.

    Filing happens in the browser, so it does not happen

    People work in Outlook and Word, not in a SharePoint tab.

    ↻
    Our approach

    Filing from Outlook and Office

    E-mails and attachments in the right file in one move, with the right metadata.

    E-mails stay in personal mailboxes

    Half of the file is in someone’s inbox.

    ↻
    Our approach

    Automatic filing

    Rules that put e-mails in the right file by themselves.

    Structure grows wild

    Every client, every project, a different folder structure.

    New client or new project? One right-click and the full structure is ready.

    Illustrative example

    For whom

    Where SharePoint with MacroView makes the difference

    Accountancy

    Client files per fiscal year, correspondence linked automatically, engagement letters with a fixed number.

    Law firms

    Files per client and matter, e-mail from Outlook in the right file.

    Engineering and construction

    Project files with the same structure, plans and correspondence together.

    Or M-Files?

    When M-Files fits better

    SharePoint with MacroView is strong at collaborating and filing. Do you have workflows with approvals, strict audits or documents that belong in several files at once? Then M-Files often fits better. We work with both and tell you honestly.

    Frequently asked questions about SharePoint

    Do we have to replace SharePoint?

    No. SharePoint is the foundation. We set it up properly and add MacroView as the layer on top.

    Where are our documents stored?

    In your own Microsoft 365 environment, with your existing permissions.

    Do our people have to change the way they work?

    No. With MacroView they file from Outlook, Word, Excel and Explorer, the tools they already use.

    SharePoint or M-Files: which one do we need?

    SharePoint with MacroView is strong at collaborating and filing. For workflows with approvals, strict audits or documents in several files at once, M-Files often fits better. SoftAdvice works with both and gives you an honest answer.
