SharePoint Consulting & Intranet Services

TechTiera comes to SharePoint from decades of enterprise content management. We design SharePoint as a governed records and knowledge platform, not a file dump, which is exactly what Microsoft 365 Copilot now depends on.

Architecture before pages.

Hub sites, content types and managed metadata make content findable and permissions auditable.

In short

What is SharePoint Consulting?

SharePoint consulting is the design, build and improvement of SharePoint Online sites, intranets and document management solutions: information architecture, metadata and content types, permissions, search, custom development with the SharePoint Framework, and integration with Teams, Power Platform and line-of-business systems. TechTiera adds deep enterprise content management (ECM) experience, so regulated document control and records retention are built in.

SharePoint Consulting

Information architecture that scales

Most SharePoint problems are architecture problems. We design hub sites, site templates, content types and managed metadata before building pages, using a flat, hub-based model rather than deep subsites. That gives you consistent navigation, search that returns the right document, and permissions that can be audited.

  • Content types and metadata published from the content type gallery, with term sets for document classes, departments and lifecycle states.
  • Search tuned with managed properties, result types and promoted results, so the intranet answers questions instead of listing files.
  • Permissions granted to Microsoft 365 groups and Entra security groups, never to individuals, with broken inheritance kept to documented exceptions.

SharePoint Consulting

Document management and regulated content

TechTiera's background in enterprise ECM platforms, including three decades of OpenText Documentum work, shapes how we build document management in SharePoint:

RequirementHow we implement it in Microsoft 365
Controlled documents and SOPsContent types with lifecycle states, approval flows in Power Automate, major/minor versioning, read-and-understood tracking
Records retentionPurview retention labels, file plan, event-based retention and disposition review
Audit and e-signatureUnified audit log, version history, SharePoint eSignature or integrated third-party signing
Validated environmentsConfiguration specifications and test evidence suited to GxP and 21 CFR Part 11 programs
Large librariesLibrary and view design that respects list view thresholds and indexing limits

SharePoint Consulting

Modern intranets and employee experience

We build intranets on SharePoint communication sites and Viva Connections, with audience targeting, news distribution, multilingual pages and a Teams-first experience. Where out-of-the-box web parts fall short, our developers build SharePoint Framework web parts and extensions with full source code handed over.

SharePoint Consulting

Copilot readiness: fixing oversharing before it surfaces

Microsoft 365 Copilot respects existing permissions, which means it will happily summarize anything a user can technically open. Before Copilot rollout we run oversharing reports with SharePoint Advanced Management, remediate "Everyone except external users" grants and anonymous links, apply restricted content discovery to sensitive sites, and apply sensitivity labels to high-risk libraries.

SharePoint Consulting

SharePoint Server upgrades and end of support

SharePoint Server 2016 and 2019 reached end of support in July 2026. We help clients choose between SharePoint Online and SharePoint Server Subscription Edition, remediate customizations such as farm solutions and classic SharePoint 2013 workflows (retired in SharePoint Online), and migrate content with metadata and permissions intact.

SharePoint Consulting FAQs

What does a SharePoint consultant do?

A SharePoint consultant designs the information architecture, security model and site structure, configures or develops solutions such as intranets and document management, migrates content, and sets up governance so the platform stays organized as it grows.

Can SharePoint replace an enterprise content management system like Documentum or OpenText?

For many collaboration and document control use cases, yes, especially with Purview retention and Power Automate approvals. For high-volume regulated content we assess requirements first; TechTiera works on both ECM and SharePoint, so the recommendation is based on fit rather than a single product.

How do we prepare SharePoint for Microsoft 365 Copilot?

Find and fix oversharing (broad groups, anonymous links), restrict discovery of sensitive sites, apply sensitivity labels, archive stale content and set site ownership. SharePoint Advanced Management provides the reports and controls.

Should we use SharePoint Online or SharePoint Server Subscription Edition?

SharePoint Online suits most organizations and receives new features first. Subscription Edition fits strict data sovereignty or disconnected environments. We compare both against your compliance and integration needs.

Do you build custom SharePoint solutions?

Yes. We develop SharePoint Framework web parts and extensions, Microsoft Graph integrations, Power Apps and Copilot agents, and hand over source code and documentation.

How do you migrate from file shares to SharePoint?

We analyze the shares, remove duplicates and obsolete files, map folders to sites and libraries, convert folder paths to metadata where useful, and migrate with permissions and timestamps preserved.
