From Pilot Project to Practice: EnBW Expands Its Digital Archiving with the tia® Connector for SharePoint
As a pilot customer, EnBW further developed the tia® Connector for SharePoint together with kgs for use in its enterprise environment. The solution now connects day-to-day collaboration in SharePoint with the targeted, compliant retention of documents relevant for archiving, using the existing archive platform.

Initial Situation
Microsoft 365 is an integral part of EnBW's company-wide collaboration. Its SharePoint repositories also hold documents that are subject to specific retention and compliance requirements. To archive these documents in a targeted way, the company wanted to extend its existing archiving solution to the Microsoft environment. It was looking for a solution that fits into its existing SharePoint landscape and supports both the long-term retention of completed documents and the archiving of relevant interim versions.
Solution
As a pilot customer, EnBW's ECM team supported the further development of kgs’ tia® Connector for SharePoint and contributed the requirements of its enterprise environment. In close collaboration, the project teams evolved an initial demo version into a solution in productive use. Experience from EnBW's internal IT departments, including SharePoint administration, permissions management, and cloud services, flowed into the development. Today, the connector links SharePoint Online with the existing cloud-based kgs archive solution and enables both selective and automated archiving.
Result
Whether it's completed document collections, important contracts, or relevant document versions from day-to-day business, the tia® Connector for SharePoint can address a range of archiving requirements on the existing platform. EnBW has used this to extend its archiving capabilities to the Microsoft environment. As a pilot customer, it also contributed valuable practical experience to the connector's further development.
