Document Management & Intranets

Find what you need, and trust it’s the right version.
Documents scattered across shared drives, OneDrive, Teams and email. Nobody sure which version is current. An intranet that’s out of date, or doesn’t exist. We give your organisation one structured, trusted home for its documents and one place for your people to find what they need.
The solution

One trusted home for your documents and your people.

Good document management isn’t about more storage. It’s about structure. We organise your documents and your intranet around how your people actually work, so information is easy to find, versions are clear and the right people have the right access.

Structure & metadata

Sites, libraries and metadata designed around the way people look for documents, not the way files happened to pile up.

Moving in

We move you off file servers, shared drives or an old SharePoint, planned around the new structure rather than copied across as-is.

Common questions

Questions we’re often asked.

Can SharePoint replace our file server?

Yes, for most organisations of 50 to 150 staff. SharePoint gives you version history, search, permissions and access from anywhere, without a server to maintain. We plan the structure first, then move files in stages so nobody loses access during the move.

How long does a SharePoint intranet take?

A practical intranet with news, policies, forms and staff tools usually takes 6 to 12 weeks, depending on content and approvals. We design it with your team, build it in your Microsoft 365, and train your editors before launch.

Folders or metadata in SharePoint?

Usually both. Keep a light folder structure people recognise, and add metadata for the things you search and filter by, such as document type, owner and review date. Deep folder trees are what make files hard to find.

Do we need a separate document management system?

Often not. If you already have Microsoft 365, SharePoint can handle version control, approvals and review dates. Applecart DMS is our ready-made version of that.

Ready to bring order to your documents?

Whether you’re moving off file shares, cleaning up an overgrown SharePoint or starting an intranet from scratch, we’ll help you work out the right approach.
