MS 365: A Unified Platform for Document Management

Microsoft 365 is more than just a collaboration suite—it includes SharePoint Online, a secure, scalable, and feature-rich document management system (DMS) designed to meet enterprise needs. Here’s why businesses are making the switch from FileNet to SharePoint:

4. Reduce IT Costs & Complexity

By moving to SharePoint Online, organizations can eliminate FileNet licensing fees, reduce infrastructure costs, and simplify IT management.
