SharePoint is the largest underused asset in most M365 tenants. Done well, it is your intranet, document management, project workspace, and Copilot grounding source. Done badly, it is permission chaos with stale content nobody finds. We deliver SharePoint implementation projects with information-architecture discipline and post-launch governance.
Site hierarchy, hub-and-spoke design, navigation, search architecture. Designed for findability, not just structure.
Home page, departmental hubs, news system, announcements, employee directory. Modern SharePoint, not classic.
File-server-to-SharePoint migration, retention policy implementation, metadata design, version-control strategy.
Permission model design (not folder-by-folder), site-collection governance, lifecycle policy for projects and team sites.
Project site templates, team-site standards, integration with Teams, automated provisioning workflow.
Microsoft Purview classification on SharePoint content, DLP rules preventing external oversharing, retention policy per content type.
SharePoint cleanup that prepares Copilot for Microsoft 365 deployment. Permission audit, sensitivity labelling, content hygiene.
User adoption planning, role-based training, champion network, post-launch usage analytics.
Most SharePoint projects start by building sites and bolt on architecture later. We design IA first, then sites follow. The result is findable, navigable, and durable.
Copilot for Microsoft 365 grounds on SharePoint content. If SharePoint is permission chaos, Copilot exposes the chaos to staff. Our implementation prepares SharePoint for Copilot deployment.
Most SharePoint deployments lose discipline by month six. Site sprawl, permission drift, content stale. Our governance model is built in from launch.
File-server-to-SharePoint migration done with content audit, metadata extraction, permission mapping, validation, rollback plan. Not lift-and-shift.
Replace legacy intranet with modern SharePoint hub-and-spoke design.
Move from on-premise file server to SharePoint/OneDrive with proper IA.
Standardise project workspaces with consistent permissions and lifecycle.
PDPL, DFSA, ADGM, NESA programmes drive SharePoint cleanup as a control.
Pre-Copilot SharePoint audit and remediation to safely deploy Copilot.
Merge SharePoint environments during M&A, with permission and IA harmonisation.
| Feature | GR IA-first | Site-by-site build | DIY (in-house) |
|---|---|---|---|
Information architecture design | Bolted on | Often skipped | |
Migration discipline | Audit + plan | Lift-and-shift | Hopeful |
Permission model | Designed | Folder-by-folder | Inconsistent |
Copilot readiness | |||
Governance from launch | Reactive | None | |
Time to durable deployment | 8-12 weeks | 6 months | 12+ months |
2-3 weeks
Workshops with stakeholders across departments. Map current state, pain points, content sources, navigation patterns. Output: IA design document.
4-6 weeks
Build sites per IA, migrate content with metadata, apply permission model, configure sensitivity labels, set up governance.
2-3 weeks
Pilot with champion group, gather feedback, refine, then roll out to broader org with role-based training.
Continuous
Site lifecycle management, content hygiene, permission reviews, adoption tracking, quarterly improvements.
“We had been on SharePoint for six years with everyone clicking through chaos. GR ran a proper implementation: information architecture first, content audit and migration second, governance third. Our staff find what they need in 30 seconds rather than 5 minutes. Copilot deployment a quarter later was straightforward because the foundation was clean.”
A 1-2 week discovery covering current SharePoint state, pain points, and target outcomes. Output: written IA-first project scope and timeline.
