KPMG and Northumbrian Water automate document management for greater efficiency
Organizations in public sector and utilities, such as KPMG and Northumbrian Water, faced productivity issues due to large-scale manual document processing and content management challenges. Microsoft SharePoint Premium, the latest evolution of Microsoft Syntex, integrates AI-powered content management to automate routine workflows, enforce compliance, classify documents, and manage content lifecycles. These capabilities are combined with Copilot for Microsoft 365 and Power Automate to drive advanced automation and secure the handling of sensitive information. SharePoint Premium has been adopted by various organizations to improve efficiency, accelerate knowledge delivery, and maintain compliance in regulated industries. The platform leverages AI for document classification, eSignature management, and lifecycle governance. Northumbrian Water used Syntex and Viva Topics for better knowledge sharing, while KPMG implemented SharePoint Premium with Power Automate for document automation. These deployments led to measurable impact on productivity, compliance, and security.
Northumbrian Water revolutionizes knowledge management in utilities
Northumbrian Water, serving over 4.4 million people in the UK, faced a challenge managing 20 million water infrastructure documents housed across legacy systems. To address this, they partnered with ClearPeople and migrated all legacy content to a unified Microsoft SharePoint platform. This enabled the use of AI-driven tools like SharePoint Syntex and Microsoft Viva Topics for automating metadata extraction and expertise discovery. The rollout allowed employees to quickly retrieve context-specific operational knowledge, access relevant documents, and connect with internal experts seamlessly via Microsoft 365 applications. AI models were used to capture and classify data from complex engineering drawings, including those previously only understood by experienced workers. These digital transformations helped support business continuity, particularly for onboarding new talent and preserving institutional knowledge. The deployment of these AI-powered knowledge management solutions is projected to result in an estimated £50 million in savings over 36 months by reducing manual paperwork, expediting document search, and enhancing collaboration across the organization.
