This blog is published hot in the heels of the public announcement of SharePoint Embedded going into Public Preview. During its early life through development and developer preview stages this was known as Syntex Repository as a Service (RaaS) and also Repository Services.

Atlas by ClearPeople is a Microsoft Content AI preferred partner and one of Microsoft’s launch partners with a SharePoint Embedded roadmap.

It was a proud moment for ClearPeople's Atlas team when Stuart Tait (Partner and Chief Technology Officer for Tax & Legal at KPMG UK) was interviewed for Microsoft's yearly flagship event, Microsoft Ignite.

The transformation of Microsoft Syntex into SharePoint Premium represents an enhancement in Microsoft's content services platform. SharePoint Premium is positioned as an AI-powered content management and experiences platform designed to boost productivity and optimize content value.

Syntex will sunset as a brand and become part of SharePoint Premium, encapsulating its AI-powered content processing capabilities within the new premium offering. This rebranding was officially announced at Ignite on November 15, 2023.
