What started as a way to solve Chromebook printing challenges became a smarter approach to managing print costs.

The Discovery Center of Springfield, a nonprofit STEM education center, implemented PaperCut to simplify printing for teachers and students. The results went beyond convenience:

– Reduced print waste and unnecessary color printing
– Detailed reporting for better budgeting and forecasting
– Easier printing from Chromebooks and mixed-device environments
– Secure “print anywhere, release anywhere” functionality
– Expanded use from education staff to administrative teams

As their Director of Operations put it:

“We’ve expanded it from just ‘we need to be able to print from Chromebooks’ to using PaperCut as a tool for cost control.”

In agribusiness, every moment counts—but the sheer volume of operational tasks can make it feel like those moments are never enough.

From processing payments to onboarding seasonal staff, agricultural teams manage high volumes of documents where even small inefficiencies can have a big impact.

In this session, you’ll learn how organizations are:

• Automating data extraction, invoice matching, and approval routing with generative AI
• Improving access to information with a secure, searchable document archive
• Leveraging extracted data by integrating with solutions like AgVantage and AgVance

With the right tools in place, agribusinesses can reduce errors, accelerate pay cycles, and gain better visibility across the entire supply chain. 

Join Square 9 for a live webinar to see how intelligent document processing can help streamline operations and improve visibility across your business.

Paper-based work is a constant drain on productivity—slowing teams down, creating inefficiencies, and making it harder to access the information you need.

From vendor invoices to HR documentation, contracts, and more, there’s a better way.

In this session, you’ll see how organizations are:

• Digitizing documents and extracting key information
• Using that data to route documents and automate processes
• Finding and referencing documents with powerful search tools
• Eliminating paper entirely with workflow-driven forms 

This 30-minute webinar walks through the challenges of paper-based processes and the solutions available to help you transition to a more efficient, digital workplace.

If you’re looking to reduce manual work, improve visibility, and streamline operations across your organization, this is a great place to start. Join Square 9 for a live webinar as we introduce you to a smarter approach to document management and workflow automation.

Paper-intensive processes, offsite storage costs, and slow document retrieval can create major bottlenecks for manufacturers and regulated organizations.

See how aerospace manufacturer HARCO Laboratories used Square 9 GlobalSearch ECM to streamline document management, improve audit readiness, and eliminate inefficiencies tied to paper records. The company reported approximately $1,000 per month in labor savings while also reducing costly offsite storage expenses.

Using SharePoint but still struggling to find documents, manage versions, or enforce consistent processes?

With M-Files for SharePoint Embedded, you can enhance your existing SharePoint investment with intelligent information management—without forcing users to change how they work.

Here’s where M-Files stands out:

🔹 Find anything instantly – M-Files organizes content by what it is, not where it’s stored, so users can search by customer, project, or document type instead of digging through folders
🔹 Built-in workflow automation – Route documents for approval, enforce processes, and reduce manual follow-ups
🔹 Stronger compliance & control – Automatic versioning, audit trails, and permission controls help reduce risk
🔹 Connect across systems – Unify content from SharePoint, network folders, and other systems into one view

The result? Less time searching, fewer errors, and more productive teams.

Curious how this could work in your environment? Reach out to CPDOS today.

Many organizations outgrow SharePoint not because it can’t store files — but because governance depends on people getting permissions right, every time.

M‑Files complements SharePoint by adding control where SharePoint struggles at scale:

• Eliminate permission sprawl
  Stop managing access by folders, sites, and Teams. M‑Files controls access automatically based on document type, client, project, and lifecycle.
• Govern by business rules, not locations
  Permissions change when the business context changes — not when someone remembers to update a site.
• Reduce risk before Copilot and AI amplify it
  AI can only respect existing permissions. M‑Files ensures access is correct before Copilot ever sees the content.
• Keep documents in Microsoft 365 — without losing control
  With SharePoint Embedded, files remain in your M365 tenant while M‑Files enforces governance, metadata, and lifecycle rules.
• Simplify audits and compliance
  Easily answer “who has access to what — and why” without unraveling years of broken inheritance and oversharing.
• Make governance invisible to end users
  Users don’t manage permissions — they just work. Access is applied automatically.

Bottom line:
If SharePoint works — but governance doesn’t scale — M‑Files turns permissions into a byproduct of how your business operates.
