Based on what we see across council environments, here are the patterns that explain why AI doesn’t behave the way you expect. And what to do about it. TL;DR AI surfaces what’s already in SharePoint – good and bad Most councils have: Outdated and duplicated content Permissions that no longer reflect reality Weak metadata and[…]
Why Copilot and modern enterprise search reward structured, owned content (not a new search tool). And how an Answer-First information architecture turns your SharePoint into something that successfully answers questions. TL;DR Search has shifted from “type keywords, scan ten blue links” to “ask a question, get an answer.” Copilot and AI-powered enterprise search are built[…]
TL;DR The top tier didn’t win at Copilot by buying more licences. Firms like Arup, Aurecon and GHD publicly run AI strategy and governance functions. They did the unglamorous data-hygiene work before switching anything on. Copilot inherits your permissions; it doesn’t fix them. If your SharePoint access has been messy since 2018, AI will faithfully surface that mess to[…]
WebVine was featured on Microsoft’s SharePoint Partner Showcase, highlighting how we build modern digital workplaces on Microsoft 365. The showcase focused less on shiny features and more on approach, extending SharePoint sensibly, not replacing it. Microsoft called out the polish, clarity, and usability of Injio and Injio Docs, especially how complexity is hidden from everyday[…]
Webinar Wrap Up Copilot puts a spotlight on something councils have been wrestling with for years: findability in SharePoint. So we partnered with Microsoft to run a practical webinar for councils, focused on getting SharePoint foundations right and preparing for Copilot with confidence. In the session: John Crawford, Chief Digital and Information Officer at Central[…]
TL;DR If Copilot sounds confident but wrong, it’s usually a data foundations issue, not an AI problem. Messy, duplicated, or unclear content leads Copilot to fill in the gaps. Fixing structure, metadata, permissions, and prompts makes Copilot far more reliable. And improves everyday work too. Dear WebVine, We’ve got a bit of a trust[…]
(A Very Serious Ceremony) SharePoint is 25. Which feels impossible, because surely 2001 was only… five years ago? To celebrate a quarter-century of intranets, document chaos, governance debates, and the occasional “why can’t I access this folder” mystery, we’re hosting The WebVine Awards. A lovingly biased, slightly nostalgic, very real-world tribute to the features that[…]
TL;DR Summarise everything: Copilot lightens the mental load with real-time summaries. Write with confidence: Assistive writing tools help everyone communicate clearly. Support different styles: Adaptive features tailor support to individual needs. Check accessibility: Built-in tools flag non-inclusive content before it goes live. Empower independence: Staff can self-serve confidently with Copilot in SharePoint. Inclusion Starts with[…]
You wouldn’t build a house without an architect… unless you’re into leaky roofs, dodgy wiring and a bathroom door that won’t close. So why would you build your digital workplace without an expert SharePoint consultant? Too many organisations treat SharePoint like a fancy filing cabinet. Throw everything in, hope for the best, and then wonder[…]
Many of our clients are excited about AI but aren’t sure where to begin. The questions we’re hearing again and again: How can we start small, show real value quickly, and scale without blowing the budget or burning out our teams? Is there a smart first step before committing to a big, bespoke AI project?[…]
