SharePoint & Microsoft AI Integrations

Microsoft 365 Copilot that actually gets used — not licensed and ignored.

NCompas deploys SharePoint Online, Microsoft 365 Copilot, Copilot Studio agents, Syntex, and Teams integrations — with the data governance and adoption programmes that turn Microsoft AI from a licence cost into measurable productivity.

345MMicrosoft 365 commercial seats globally — meaning the vast majority of enterprise employees already have SharePoint, Teams, and Microsoft Graph available, making Microsoft the highest-ROI AI integration platform in most organisations.
70%of Microsoft 365 Copilot early adopters report measurable productivity gains within 30 days of deployment — with document drafting, meeting summarisation, and search accuracy cited as the highest-impact capabilities (Microsoft Work Trend Index, 2024).

Why NCompas

Microsoft licences that pay for themselves — not shelfware dressed up as AI strategy.

The gap between a Microsoft 365 Copilot licence and a Microsoft 365 Copilot ROI is data governance, adoption engineering, and custom agent development. We close it.

Microsoft Solutions Partner

NCompas is a certified Microsoft Solutions Partner for Modern Work and Digital & App Innovation. Our engineers hold Microsoft 365 Certified Enterprise Administrator, SharePoint Administrator, and Teams Application Developer certifications — not generic cloud certifications that happen to mention SharePoint.

Copilot Readiness Before Licences

Microsoft 365 Copilot requires clean data. Without sensitivity labels, oversharing remediation, and governance foundations, Copilot surfaces content employees shouldn't see, returns irrelevant results, and gets abandoned. We assess and fix your data estate before turning Copilot on — because fixing it after is 4× harder.

Adoption Engineering

Technology adoption is an engineering problem, not a training problem. We build champion networks, prompt libraries, use-case playbooks, and measurement frameworks that drive the behavioural change needed for Copilot ROI. Licences left unused are money wasted — we make sure that doesn't happen.

Full Microsoft Stack Depth

SharePoint, Teams, Graph API, SPFx, Copilot Studio, Syntex, Viva, Purview, Power Platform — we work across the entire Microsoft 365 stack, not just one product. That matters because the highest-value solutions integrate multiple surfaces: a Teams bot grounded on SharePoint, a Syntex model feeding a Power Automate flow, Copilot reading SAP via a Graph connector.

SAP & Enterprise System Integration

Microsoft 365 and SharePoint don't exist in isolation — they sit alongside SAP, Salesforce, ServiceNow, and legacy systems that hold the data Copilot needs to be useful. We build the Microsoft Graph connectors, Power Automate integrations, and custom SPFx components that bridge your enterprise systems into the Microsoft surface employees work in.

Governance Without Bureaucracy

SharePoint governance done badly kills adoption — overrestricted environments that employees route around via personal drives and WhatsApp. We design governance frameworks that protect what needs protecting (sensitive data, regulated content) while preserving the flexibility that makes knowledge workers productive.

Six Microsoft capability domains

From SharePoint intranet to Copilot at scale — the full Microsoft AI stack.

Six interconnected Microsoft 365 and AI practices — from the SharePoint foundations that make Copilot safe, to the custom agents that make it genuinely useful.

SharePoint Online Modern Intranet & Portals

Purpose-built SharePoint Online intranets that employees actually use — branded hub sites, department portals, news and events, employee directory, mega-menus, and search-first navigation. Modern architecture with SPFx web parts, Viva Connections integration, and mobile-responsive design. Migrated from legacy SharePoint 2013/2016 environments where needed.

3.4× increase in intranet engagement within 90 days of modern SharePoint launch — vs. legacy portal baseline

Copilot Studio Custom Agents & Extensions

Custom AI agents built in Copilot Studio — embedded in Teams, SharePoint, or standalone — that answer questions from your SharePoint knowledge base, connect to your line-of-business systems via Power Platform connectors, and automate multi-step workflows triggered by natural language. Beyond the generic Copilot, tailored AI that knows your business.

65% reduction in internal helpdesk tickets when Copilot Studio agent is deployed for employee self-service queries

Microsoft Syntex & AI Document Intelligence

Microsoft Syntex brings AI document processing natively into SharePoint — automatic content classification, metadata extraction, contract analysis, invoice processing, and compliance tagging — all within your Microsoft 365 security boundary. No third-party document AI needed for most enterprise use cases.

85% reduction in manual document tagging and classification time — Syntex processes 10,000 documents in the time a human processes 50

Microsoft Teams Integration & Intelligent Bots

Teams is where work happens — so AI that lives in Teams gets used. We build Teams bots, message extensions, meeting apps, and adaptive card notifications that surface the right information at the right moment: meeting summaries pushed to the right channel, approval requests with one-click action, AI search over SharePoint from the Teams search bar.

4.2× higher AI feature adoption when integrated directly into Teams vs. standalone portal — users don't change habits, AI meets them where they are

SharePoint Framework (SPFx) & Microsoft Graph

Custom SharePoint Framework web parts, extensions, and application customisers for capabilities that out-of-the-box SharePoint doesn't provide — combined with Microsoft Graph API integration to surface data from across Microsoft 365 (calendar, email, teams, OneDrive, Planner) inside SharePoint or any web surface.

Delivery approach

Copilot with measurable ROI in 8 weeks — data governance included.

Five stages from readiness assessment to active adoption — with the data foundations built first, not retrofitted after users complain about irrelevant results.

01

Microsoft 365 & Copilot Readiness Assessment

Week 1: tenant health check — SharePoint governance gaps, sensitivity label coverage, oversharing exposure, Copilot licence utilisation, and existing integration landscape. Output: prioritised remediation plan with ROI estimates for each workstream.

02

Data Governance Foundation

Week 1–3: Purview sensitivity label taxonomy, DLP policy configuration, SharePoint site lifecycle governance, and oversharing remediation for the highest-risk document libraries. This is the work that unlocks Copilot safely — done in parallel with design.

03

SharePoint & Teams Configuration

Week 2–5: intranet architecture, hub site structure, SharePoint Search configuration, Viva Connections deployment, and Teams integration. Custom SPFx components built where out-of-the-box SharePoint doesn't meet requirements.

04

Copilot & AI Feature Deployment

Week 4–7: Microsoft 365 Copilot phased rollout, Copilot Studio agent build and deployment (grounded on SharePoint + Graph), Syntex model training for document processing use cases, and Microsoft Graph connector configuration for external data sources.

05

Adoption Programme & Measurement

Week 6–8: champion network activation, prompt library publication, use-case playbook training, and Copilot usage analytics dashboard. 30/60/90-day adoption targets set and tracked. Monthly 'Copilot ROI' report delivered to senior stakeholders.

Client outcomes

Microsoft 365 Copilot deployed properly — not just switched on.

Four organisations where Microsoft licences were transformed into measurable productivity by pairing technology deployment with data governance and structured adoption.

The Challenge

Global insurance group with 8,400 employees across 14 countries using a 2016 SharePoint intranet — 23% of employees couldn't find the policy documents they needed. Microsoft 365 Copilot licences purchased 8 months earlier sat unused at 12% adoption because nobody had addressed oversharing, sensitivity labels, or trained staff to use it.

What We Delivered

Full Microsoft 365 Copilot remediation and modern intranet: SharePoint Purview sensitivity labelling across 2.4M documents, oversharing audit and remediation, multi-lingual Viva Connections intranet launch, Copilot adoption programme with 180 champions, custom Copilot Studio agent grounded on policy knowledge base, and Syntex models for automatic claims document classification.

Healthcare & NHS

NHS Trust with clinical and administrative staff on Microsoft 365 but no SharePoint governance — 47,000 documents with no sensitivity labels, 3,200 SharePoint sites with no owners, and critical clinical guidelines buried in document libraries nobody could find. Microsoft 365 Copilot blocked by information governance team until data was clean.

Professional Services

Management consultancy with 1,200 consultants losing an estimated 2.5 hours per week each searching for previous engagement deliverables, proposal content, and methodology documents across 14 years of SharePoint and file share history. No semantic search. No knowledge management. Copilot licensed but not deployed.

2.5 hrs → 18 minweekly knowledge search time per consultant

Manufacturing & Operations

Global manufacturer with SAP as ERP and Microsoft 365 for collaboration — operating as two separate worlds. Engineers copying SAP data into SharePoint manually. No integration between work orders, plant documentation in SharePoint, and the Teams channels where decisions were being made. Copilot couldn't see SAP data.

4.2×AI adoption lift when Copilot could answer SAP + SharePoint questions together

Microsoft 365 Copilot is already licensed by most enterprises — the question is whether it's working.

70%

of Microsoft 365 Copilot early adopters report measurable productivity gains within 30 days — but only when deployed with proper data governance, training, and adoption support rather than just a licence activation email.

11 hrs

saved per knowledge worker per week under full Microsoft 365 Copilot deployment — equivalent to 27.5% of a standard working week returned to productive work, compounded across every employee in the organisation.

345M

Microsoft 365 commercial seats globally — meaning SharePoint and Teams are already the largest enterprise AI delivery surface in the world, available to most organisations without additional infrastructure investment.

65%

reduction in internal helpdesk tickets when a Copilot Studio agent is deployed for employee self-service — the ROI on custom agent development is measured in weeks, not quarters.
