Ready to Consolidate Laserfiche into Microsoft 365
01
Paying for Laserfiche and Microsoft 365 when SharePoint may already support your document management needs?
02
Users switching between Laserfiche and SharePoint/Teams/Outlook all day?
03
Metadata, workflows, and records management trapped in a separate platform?
Compliance team wants retention and records management on a supported, auditable platform?
What We Do
Bring Document Management into Microsoft 365
01
Documents + metadata, not just files
We migrate documents with metadata preserved and mapped to SharePoint columns and content types — not just copied as flat files.
02
Workflows rebuilt on Power Automate
We rebuild Laserfiche Forms and workflows as Power Automate flows — approvals, routing, and automation on the Microsoft platform.
03
Records management on Purview
We migrate retention schedules, records series, and disposition rules to Microsoft Purview — compliant, auditable, and integrated.
Security & permissions mapped
We map Laserfiche security (folder-level and document-level) to SharePoint permissions and sensitivity labels.
05
One less platform to manage
Consolidating onto SharePoint can reduce Laserfiche licensing, hosting, administration, and training overhead while keeping users in Microsoft 365.
06
Copilot and AI search unlocked
SharePoint content can support Microsoft 365 Search and Copilot based on permissions, governance, configuration, and licensing.

Our Laserfiche Migration Methodology
Free consultation & discovery
We discuss your Laserfiche environment, document volume, metadata complexity, workflows, and records management — and give an honest scope estimate. No cost, no obligation.
Repository inventory & metadata mapping
We inventory every document type, metadata template, and field — and design the SharePoint information architecture (content types, columns, taxonomy) to receive it.
Pilot migration
We migrate a representative subset — one department or document type — to validate metadata mapping, permissions, and fidelity before scaling.
Full document & metadata migration
We migrate documents in waves with metadata mapped to SharePoint columns — preserving the structure that makes documents findable and governable.
Workflow rebuild
Records management setup
We configure Microsoft Purview retention labels, policies, and records management to replace Laserfiche records schedules.
Validation, training & decommission
We validate migration completeness with document counts, metadata reconciliation, permissions checks, migration logs, exception reports, user acceptance testing, and post-go-live support before decommission planning.
It starts with a free Laserfiche migration assessment. No obligation.

Laserfiche to SharePoint — why metadata mapping is the key to a successful migration
Why Microsoft 365 Can Replace a Separate DMS in 2026
For organizations already invested in Microsoft 365, SharePoint Online, Power Automate, Microsoft Purview, and Copilot can replace many document management, workflow, retention, and discovery functions previously handled in standalone DMS platforms like Laserfiche. The right decision depends on metadata complexity, workflow design, compliance requirements, and how much governance is needed after migration.
01
SharePoint for document management — metadata, content types, versioning, and governance are now enterprise-grade
02
03
Can SharePoint really replace Laserfiche?
For most organisations, yes — and the migration is worth it. SharePoint in 2026 handles document storage, metadata, versioning, and governance at enterprise scale. Power Automate replaces workflow automation. Purview replaces records management. The main consideration is metadata complexity: Laserfiche’s metadata model is rich, and mapping it properly to SharePoint content types requires careful planning — which is why it should be done by someone who understands both platforms.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a Laserfiche to SharePoint migration include?
Will we lose our metadata when we migrate?
No. We map Laserfiche metadata templates and fields to SharePoint content types and site columns so documents arrive with usable metadata for search, filtering, governance, and compliance.
Can you rebuild our Laserfiche Forms and workflows?
What about our records management and retention schedules?
We migrate retention schedules and records management rules to Microsoft Purview — retention labels, policies, records series, and disposition. For regulated industries (government, healthcare, finance), this ensures compliance continuity through the migration.
Can SharePoint handle the same metadata complexity as Laserfiche?
For most organisations, yes. SharePoint content types, site columns, and managed metadata provide a rich, flexible metadata model. Very complex Laserfiche configurations (deeply nested templates with conditional logic) may require some redesign — which we handle during the mapping phase. The result is often cleaner and more maintainable than the original.
