A SharePoint Data Augmentation Program.

Brainvire augmented a leading educational institution's data on SharePoint. The team built SharePoint Forms to structure a cluttered data set, added a metadata layer to describe every record, connected Microsoft Teams and Planner for cross-department collaboration, and locked the environment down with encryption, user permissions, and multi-factor authentication.

/ About the client

Educational Institution

The client is a leading educational institution whose cluttered, unorganized data set made applications hard to manage. It wanted a structured database, better cross-department communication, and assurance that only authorized users could reach sensitive information.

Brainvire ran a data augmentation program on SharePoint. The team built SharePoint Forms to structure the data, added a metadata layer to describe each record, integrated Microsoft Teams and Planner for collaboration, and secured the environment with encryption, permissions, and multi-factor authentication.

/ The approach

Design, architecture, and features, shipped as one program.

/01Structure

Data, organized

The data set was cluttered and hard to manage, so the team built SharePoint Forms with the Microsoft Forms web part for structured data, custom fields, and streamlined workflows.

/02Metadata

Records, described

Managing data needed an advanced approach, so a metadata layer stores extra detail about each record, such as its source and last-updated date.

/03Collaborate

Teams, connected

The institution wanted better communication, so the portal integrates Microsoft Teams and Planner to lift internal collaboration and employee performance.

/04Security

Access, locked

Only authorized users should reach the data, so the team set up encryption, user permissions, and multi-factor authentication for secure access.

/ What stood in the way

Four problems, solved without a maintenance window.

Cluttered data set

The client's cluttered and unorganized data set made applications hard to manage. The team built SharePoint Forms with the Microsoft Forms web part to give structured data, custom fields, suitable themes, and streamlined workflows.

Metadata-driven approach

Managing the data called for a more advanced process. The team created a metadata layer to store extra information about each record, such as its source and the date it was last updated.

Cross-department communication

The institution wanted to improve communication across departments. The team integrated the portal with Microsoft Teams and Planner to enhance internal collaboration and lift employee performance.

Data security

Data had to stay secure and reach only authorized users. The team set up encryption, user permissions, and multi-factor authentication so users prove their identity before secure access.
