Filesmart: The Quiet Revolution in SharePoint Records Management

Built for Records Managers, not just IT Teams You don’t need another system. You need a smarter one.

There’s a quiet frustration that many records managers know all too well. You’re expected to keep everything compliant, accessible, and secure often with systems that weren’t really built for the job. You’ve got SharePoint, which is powerful in theory, but in practice? It needs a lot of help to behave like a proper records management system.

That’s where Filesmart comes in. And no, it’s not another shiny new platform that promises the world and delivers a headache. It’s something far more practical a way to make SharePoint actually work as a fully functional electronic document and records management system (EDRMS) without starting from scratch.

Most organisations already have Microsoft 365 and SharePoint in place. It’s embedded, licensed, and familiar. But when it comes to digital records governance, SharePoint on its own doesn’t quite cut it.

Filesmart builds on top of SharePoint and turns it into a compliant, automated records management solution. It adds the structure, lifecycle controls, and metadata management that SharePoint lacks without disrupting how your teams already work.

So instead of investing in a completely new platform, you’re simply making your existing asset work harder. That’s a win for records managers, IT, and finance alike.

One of the biggest frustrations we hear from records professionals is that most digital tools aren’t built with them in mind. They’re either too technical, too generic, or too focused on end users.

Filesmart is different. OASIS have decades of experience in both physical and digital records management. We understand the day to day challenges whether it’s retention schedules, metadata tagging, audit trails, or managing hybrid records environments.

With Filesmart, you get automation where it matters most:

  • Automated document classification
  • Retention and disposal policies
  • Secure access controls
  • Audit-ready reporting

It takes the manual effort out of managing records, so you can focus on strategy, not admin.

Helping You Get Buy In from Senior Leadership

Let’s talk about buy in. You know the value of good records management but convincing others can be a challenge. What Filesmart offers is a way to show real, measurable impact.

It reduces compliance risk. It improves operational efficiency. It helps you demonstrate ROI (return on investment) on your Microsoft 365 investment. And because it’s built on SharePoint, it doesn’t require a major change to implement.

It’s the kind of solution that ticks boxes for legal, IT, and finance without needing a six-month rollout.

And the End Users? They Barely Notice It’s There.

Which is exactly the point.

Filesmart integrates directly into the Microsoft SharePoint. There’s no new interface to learn, no extra logins, no clunky workarounds.

It’s records management without the friction. Users just do their jobs, and the records take care of themselves in the background.

Why Oasis Group?

Because we have over 20 years experience in information and records management. OASIS understands the regulatory landscape, the operational pressures, and the cultural challenges that come with digital transformation.

Filesmart is the result of that experience. It’s not trying to reinvent the wheel. It’s just making it turn a lot more smoothly with the right balance of automation, compliance, and usability.
