About the guide
What is Dynamics 365 SharePoint integration?
Dynamics 365 SharePoint integration means automatically synchronising documents, permissions and metadata between Dynamics 365 and SharePoint or Microsoft Teams. Instead of filing documents by hand, every record - such as a customer, project or contract - gets the right document structure with inherited access rights automatically. This keeps CRM data and documents consistent at all times.
What you will learn
What is inside the Success Guide
The guide walks you step by step through the architecture of a clean integration: how Dynamics 365 records connect to SharePoint libraries, Teams and document sets, why Dynamics 365 alone is not a viable document management platform, and where Microsoft's standard integration reaches its limits.
You will learn how to build a document management setup that inherits permissions and metadata from Dynamics 365 automatically, how to cut Microsoft 365 storage costs and how to lift your teams' productivity. Four real-world usage scenarios show the integration in action. The principles described in the guide are put into practice by the Valprovia Integration module.
