SharePoint Premium (formerly Syntex) uses AI models for automatic document classification, metadata extraction, and intelligent content processing. For Swiss companies with high document volumes, the solution offers significant automation potential.
Features
Document Understanding
Content Understanding Models analyze unstructured documents such as contracts, reports, or correspondence and automatically extract relevant information. The models are trained with sample documents and achieve high accuracy after just a few training rounds. For Swiss companies, this means: less manual filing, more consistent metadata, and faster document retrieval.
Form Processing
Structured and semi-structured forms such as invoices, orders, or delivery notes are automatically read using AI Builder. The solution reliably recognizes fields, tables, and key-value pairs—even with varying layouts from different suppliers. Integration with Power Automate enables seamless automation from the inbox to posting.
Metadata Extraction
Automatic compliance labeling classifies documents based on confidentiality, retention period, or document type. The extracted metadata flows directly into SharePoint columns, enabling precise searches, automatic views, and rule-based workflows. Sensitivity labels from Microsoft Purview can be seamlessly integrated.
Use Cases
Contract Management
Swiss companies process contracts daily in German, French, and Italian. SharePoint Premium automatically extracts contracting parties, durations, notice periods, and amounts. Combined with retention labels, you ensure legal compliance for storage according to the Swiss Code of Obligations (OR).
Invoice Processing
Incoming invoices are automatically classified, relevant data such as amounts, VAT rates, and payment deadlines are extracted, and forwarded for approval. Integration with Dynamics 365 Finance or SAP reduces manual entry errors and speeds up the payment process.
HR Documents
Applications, work references, and personnel files are automatically categorized and tagged with privacy labels. This supports compliance with Swiss data protection laws and simplifies the management of sensitive personnel data.
Conclusion
SharePoint Premium makes document processing intelligent and scalable. Swiss companies benefit from automated classification, consistent metadata assignment, and seamless integration into existing Microsoft 365 workflows.
