Microsoft is launching a revamped SharePoint that it says will “transform content management”.
The company claims that SharePoint Premium will leverage artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance content experiences, optimise business processes and prepare content for Microsoft Copilot, a set of tools that help users achieve more with AI.
“SharePoint Premium will build structure, security and governance to ground an organisation's content, so Copilot has better information to leverage,” Microsoft said as its flagship Ignite event started.
According to Microsoft, SharePoint Premium will build structure, security and governance to ground an organisation's content so that Copilot can use it more effectively. Copilot is a suite of AI-powered services that aim to assist users with tasks such as writing, coding, designing and learning.
Microsoft said new “content experiences” will enable users to seamlessly discover, interact, and collaborate with hundreds of file types while providing fresh content using AI analytics with branded document packaging.
“Content solutions”, meanwhile, will automate workflows, improve security and apply AI to critical business processes. In addition, it will include governance services that tie in with Microsoft Syntex and Microsoft SharePoint Advanced Management.
Microsoft said SharePoint Premium will also expand content management in Microsoft 365 to help organisations get more value from their content throughout the lifecycle and bring content into the flow of work for information workers, IT pros, developers and more.
The Redmond vendor SharePoint Premium features will roll out between now and the first half of 2024, and customers can sign up for the preview today.
Improved Security
Security was a key SharePoint trend during the opening day of Ignite, particularly tied to Purview Information Protection.
