Dawiso Makes Data Governance Simple

Govern structured and unstructured data on one platform with Dawiso.

Built for real-world unstructured data

A huge amount of enterprise information is unstructured, and Dawiso is designed to govern it all. From SharePoint libraries to standalone Word files, you can catalog, edit, tag, and manage documents directly in-platform, even if they're not stored in the cloud.

One platform to govern everything

Dawiso acts as a “catalog of catalogs,” bringing structured and unstructured data, metadata, glossaries, and documents under one roof. All are fully integrated within the MCP (Model Context Protocol) to prepare trusted content for AI agents.

Scalable licensing for company-wide access

Getting unstructured data AI-ready requires participation from across the company. Dawiso's contributor and viewer licenses are built for scale, so you can involve thousands of users without paying thousands per seat.

Transform SharePoint documents, SOPs, and guidelines into structured knowledge

1

Documentation context view

Get the full picture. See owners, glossary terms, related KPIs, and workflows. All from a single document screen.

2

SharePoint live connection

Connect directly to your SharePoint instance to scan, ingest, and update documents without manual uploads. Dawiso continuously syncs with your SharePoint environment, ensuring governance is always applied to the latest version of your internal SOPs, guidelines, and process documentation.

3

Word import/export

Work with Word documents even outside SharePoint. You can import files from your desktop or shared drives into Dawiso, enrich them with metadata, and export back to Word, preserving formatting and version history.

4

Version control and lifecycle

Track document versions, approval stages, and lifecycle states such as draft, reviewed, or published. Dawiso supports governance workflows that ensure only up-to-date and approved content is used in decision-making or AI training.

5

Document ownership

Assign clear owners and stakeholders to each document. Ownership supports accountability and drives approval workflows and AI access policies.

6

Documentation lineage

Gain deeper context by tracking document relationships over time. Whether it's an updated policy, a reused template, or a connected process, lineage helps you visualize the relationships between pieces of information.

Auto linking to glossary and metadata

Your documentation stays connected. Dawiso automatically links terms to your business glossary and data sources, adding real-time context.

8

Automated tagging

Automate classification with rule-based tagging. Label documents instantly based on filenames, metadata, or content. For example, documents containing “private” in the name can be auto-tagged as confidential, ensuring consistent classification without manual effort.

9

Manual tagging

Classify documents with custom tags based on type, sensitivity, or business purpose. Improve filtering, discoverability, and access control.

10

Access control

Assign contributor and viewer roles to control editing and viewing access. Dawiso's scalable licensing model allows thousands of users to collaborate on governance without exceeding your budget.

How to govern unstructured data in Dawiso?

Dawiso connects to your document sources (like SharePoint or local Word files) and automatically ingests your content. From there, you can organize documents into business-relevant structures, assign ownership, apply manual or automated tagging, and link them to workflows, glossary terms, and KPIs.

All metadata is governed within Dawiso and prepared through our Model Context Protocol (MCP), so your unstructured data is not only controlled but ready to be used safely and effectively by AI agents.

In short:

  • Make them AI-ready through governed metadata
  • Ingest documents automatically
  • Organize them into business-relevant structures
  • Connect them to ownership, workflows, and KPIs
Can I work with documents directly in Dawiso, even outside SharePoint?

Dawiso supports direct work with documents, even if they aren't stored in SharePoint. You can import Word files, edit them right inside the platform, enrich them with metadata, assign ownership, and export them back when needed.

This approach is especially useful in large organizations like ČEZ (read the case study), where internal documentation, such as process descriptions and procedures, needs to be governed consistently across multiple systems and teams, regardless of where it's stored.

Why is it important to govern unstructured data for AI?

AI agents and chatbots rely on context, structure, and trust to deliver accurate responses. If your unstructured data, like documents and SOPs, isn't governed, AI can't tell which version is correct, who owns it, or whether it's even allowed to use it.

Without proper tagging, ownership, and access rules, AI may pull outdated, duplicate, or restricted content. Governance ensures your documents are consistent, structured, and clearly defined, so AI can use them safely and meaningfully.
