Read moreSharePoint Premium (formerly Microsoft Syntex) is an AI-powered content services platform that extends SharePoint with document processing, content assembly, eSignature, image tagging, translation, content governance, and archiving. It transforms SharePoint from a file repository into an intelligent content platform that automatically classifies, extracts, and manages document content. SharePoint Premium uses AI models to understand document structure and content — eliminating manual data entry and document classification.
SharePoint Premium uses pay-per-use pricing: Prebuilt document processing: $0.01 per page (invoices, receipts, IDs). Custom model processing: $0.05 per page (trained on your document types). Content assembly: $0.15 per document generated. eSignature: $0.10-$2.00 per request (Azure tier-dependent). Image tagging: $0.001 per image. Translation: $15 per 1M characters. Optical Character Recognition (OCR): $0.01 per page. For a mid-size enterprise processing 10,000 documents/month, typical costs range from $500-$2,000/month — dramatically less than manual processing labor.
SharePoint Premium is the rebranded and expanded version of Microsoft Syntex. Syntex was renamed to SharePoint Premium in 2024 and expanded with additional capabilities: enhanced eSignature, advanced content governance, SAM (SharePoint Advanced Management) integration, autofill columns, annotations, and improved AI models. All Syntex capabilities are available in SharePoint Premium plus new features. Existing Syntex deployments automatically migrate to SharePoint Premium. EPC Group implements SharePoint Premium for new deployments and migrates existing Syntex configurations.
SharePoint Premium processes three model types: 1) Prebuilt models — invoices, receipts, business cards, IDs, tax forms (W-2, 1099) with no training required. 2) Custom teaching models — train AI on your specific document types (contracts, medical records, insurance claims, loan applications) using as few as 5 example documents. 3) Freeform document processing — extract data from unstructured documents using Azure AI Document Intelligence. EPC Group implements all three model types for enterprise document automation.
Content assembly automates document generation from templates: 1) Create a Word or PDF template with placeholder fields. 2) Map fields to SharePoint list columns or manual input. 3) Users generate documents by filling in field values — the template auto-populates. Use cases: contracts, proposals, NDAs, compliance reports, onboarding documents. Content assembly eliminates copy-paste errors, ensures brand consistency, and reduces document creation time by 70-80%. Cost: $0.15 per document generated.
Yes. SharePoint Premium document processing runs within your Microsoft 365 tenant — data never leaves your environment. For HIPAA compliance: 1) Sensitivity labels applied to processed documents. 2) Audit logging for all document processing events. 3) Role-based access control for processed metadata. 4) Encryption at rest and in transit. 5) BAA coverage through the Microsoft HIPAA BAA. EPC Group implements HIPAA-compliant document processing for healthcare organizations — automating medical record classification, insurance claim processing, and clinical document management.
