Makers of DocRead
About Collaboris
Collaboris makes DocRead, policy management software that runs inside SharePoint and Microsoft 365. We help organizations get the right policies to the right people and prove those people have read them.
Runs inside
- SharePoint Online in Microsoft 365
- SharePoint Server 2019
- SharePoint Server 2016
Your policies stay in the libraries, groups and permissions you already manage.
Our story
Why we built DocRead
-
01The problem
We began as a SharePoint consultancy. Our clients kept running into the same problem. They could publish a policy on the intranet, but they could not prove the right people had read it. Some of those policies were safety-critical.
-
02What we built
Tracking usually meant emails, spreadsheets and repeated reminders. So we built DocRead to do that work inside SharePoint.
-
03The result
2–3 weeks
Our first customers reported saving two to three weeks of administration on each policy compared with their old process.

We build on Microsoft 365, not around it.
What SharePoint already does well
SharePoint already handles storage, permissions and version history well. Features such as Viewers and the Microsoft Purview audit log show who opened a file. We don’t ask you to move your policies anywhere else.
What DocRead adds
DocRead adds the parts those tools leave out. It assigns each policy to SharePoint or Microsoft Entra ID groups, sets deadlines, sends reminders and escalates overdue tasks. It can test understanding with a quiz and keeps a time-stamped acknowledgment for every reader. Your people acknowledge policies where they already work, and your compliance team gets one report that shows who is up to date.
