Pay-as-you-go rates, cost per 10K documents, when it pays back, regulated-industry value. Fixed-fee engagement models from EPC Group.
Last updated by Errin O'Connor, Founder & Chief AI Architect, EPC Group
SharePoint Premium (formerly Syntex) uses PAYG Azure billing: $0.05/page prebuilt models, $0.10/page custom, $0.15/document content assembly. No per-user license; requires M365 E3/E5. Mid-enterprise processing 100K docs/month: $5K-$15K/month. Payback formula: 5,000 invoices/month at 3 min manual = $12,500/month manual cost → $500/month via Premium = payback within the first year on a fixed-fee implementation. Regulated industries (HIPAA/FINRA/FedRAMP/legal) get compound value via Copilot integration + sensitivity labels + audit trail.
SharePoint Premium uses pay-as-you-go pricing through Azure billing (no per-user license required). Rates: Document processing with prebuilt models = $0.05/page. Custom-trained models = $0.10/page. Content assembly (auto-generated documents) = $0.15/document. eSignature ranges by plan. Prerequisites: Microsoft 365 E3/E5 or equivalent + Azure subscription linked for billing. For a mid-sized enterprise processing 100,000 documents/month: costs range monthly retainer quoted after discovery depending on model complexity mix.
SharePoint Syntex was rebranded to SharePoint Premium in late 2023 with expanded scope. SharePoint Premium now includes: (1) Document processing (formerly Syntex core) - prebuilt models for invoices, receipts, contracts, W-2s, 1099s; custom teaching, freeform, and layout models. (2) Content assembly - auto-generate documents from templates + data. (3) eSignature - request + collect signatures on SharePoint documents. (4) Advanced content management - AI-powered classification, tagging, retention. (5) Copilot integration - Copilot for M365 can query Premium-processed content with rich metadata. Existing Syntex licenses automatically converted to Premium.
Payback formula: (documents processed manually per month) × (minutes per manual entry) × ($ per minute) - (SharePoint Premium pay-as-you-go cost) = net savings. Example: 5,000 invoices/month × 3 minutes each × $50/hour loaded = $12,500/month manual cost. SharePoint Premium at $0.10/page (custom model) = $500/month. Net savings: $12,000/month. Payback on a fixed-fee enterprise implementation typically lands within the first year. Best fit: any organization processing 5,000+ documents/month with structured extraction needs.
Three categories: (1) Prebuilt models (no training required) handle invoices, receipts, business cards, ID documents, W-2 forms, 1099 forms - 90-98% accuracy out of the box. (2) Custom teaching models - train on 5+ examples for semi-structured documents; 85-96% accuracy typical. (3) Layout method - for structured forms with fixed fields (patent applications, medical intake forms, government permit applications). EPC Group has built custom models for healthcare intake (96% accuracy), insurance claims (94%), legal contracts (92%), engineering specs (91%), government permits (95%). Supports PDF, TIFF, JPEG, PNG, Word, Excel, PowerPoint.
Microsoft 365 Copilot integrates with SharePoint Premium so users can query PROCESSED documents (not just raw ones) using natural language. Example: "Show me all customer contracts from Q4 2025 where the renewal date is within 90 days." Copilot uses Premium-extracted metadata (contract dates, customer names, renewal fields) to answer accurately. Without Premium extraction, Copilot only searches document TEXT, missing structured metadata. Combined value: Premium extracts + Copilot queries. This is why EPC Group typically deploys Premium as part of any Copilot-in-regulated-industries engagement.
Yes - for healthcare, financial services, government, and legal, SharePoint Premium is often the difference between Copilot-safe and Copilot-risky. Specific value: (1) HIPAA - PHI documents get automatic sensitivity labels; DLP policies enforce access boundaries; Premium extraction preserves audit trail. (2) FINRA + SEC 17a-4 - Premium retention policies map to 7-year regulatory requirements; content assembly generates audit-ready reports. (3) FedRAMP - GCC High + Premium available; classified content protection via information barriers. (4) Legal - Premium extraction of contract terms; automated redaction of privileged content. EPC Group has deployed Premium for HIPAA-regulated hospital systems, FINRA-regulated broker-dealers, and CJIS-regulated law enforcement.
