Microsoft SharePoint is a powerful platform, but many organisations struggle to realise its value due to poor structure, weak governance, and inconsistent use. When SharePoint is implemented as a file dump or collaboration tool without clear rules, it quickly becomes cluttered, difficult to manage, and risky from a compliance perspective.
Our SharePoint Implementation Services focus on the practical implementation, structure, and day-to-day use of SharePoint to ensure it supports collaboration, information governance, and records management—rather than undermining them.
Our Focus: Structure, Use, and Sustainable Implementation
We do not treat SharePoint as a purely technical deployment. Our focus is on how SharePoint is structured, governed, and used across the organisation so that information remains trustworthy, findable, secure, and compliant throughout its lifecycle.
We help organisations move beyond ad hoc site creation and uncontrolled content growth by designing SharePoint environments that are aligned to:
- Business processes and collaboration needs
- Information Governance and records management requirements
- Retention, disposal, and audit-readiness expectations
- User adoption and practical day-to-day work patterns
What We Deliver as Part of SharePoint Implementation
SharePoint Information Architecture and Structure
We design SharePoint structures that make sense to users and support long-term governance, including:
- Logical site, library, and folder structures
- Metadata models aligned to business activities
- Content types and templates for consistency
- Clear rules for site creation, ownership, and lifecycle
Governance, Policies, and Standards
A successful SharePoint environment requires clear governance. We help define and implement:
- SharePoint governance frameworks and operating models
- Roles and responsibilities for site owners and users
- Standards for naming, metadata, permissions, and versioning
- Retention and disposal rules aligned to records requirements
Practical Configuration and Rollout Support
We work alongside your technical teams to ensure governance decisions are translated into practical configuration. This includes support for:
- Library and content type configuration
- Metadata enforcement and usability
- Permissions and access control
- Phased rollouts and pilot environments
SharePoint and Records Management
While SharePoint offers records management features, it is not always suitable as a full Electronic Records Management System (ERMS), particularly in highly regulated environments.
Where SharePoint’s native capabilities are sufficient, we configure and govern SharePoint to support:
- Records identification and declaration
- Retention and disposal controls
- Audit trails and defensible practices
- Integration with business processes
When SharePoint Is Not Enough
In environments with strict regulatory or compliance requirements, SharePoint alone may not provide the level of records control required. In these cases, we implement specialist Electronic Records Management solutions alongside or integrated with SharePoint.
We have experience implementing:
- Collabware CLM
- Collabspace
These solutions are US DoD 5015.2 STD certified Electronic Records Management Systems, providing robust controls for records declaration, retention, disposal, and auditability where SharePoint is not adequate on its own.
Integration with Information Governance
Our SharePoint implementations are always aligned with broader Information Governance objectives. This ensures that collaboration, content management, and records management work together rather than in isolation.

Who This Service Is Designed For
Our SharePoint implementation services are ideal for organisations that:
- Are implementing SharePoint or Microsoft 365 for the first time
- Have an existing SharePoint environment that is poorly structured or unmanaged
- Need to align SharePoint with records management and compliance requirements
- Operate in regulated environments with higher records control needs
- Require a defensible alternative where SharePoint is not sufficient
From Platform to Capability
SharePoint delivers value when it is implemented with structure, governance, and user adoption in mind. Our approach ensures SharePoint becomes a trusted collaboration and information management platform—and where necessary, is complemented by certified Electronic Records Management solutions.
