About DocumentService.io

DocumentService.io provides a technical infrastructure layer that enables Microsoft Office real-time collaboration (co-authoring) within existing content and document management systems.

The Problem

  • Many enterprise platforms struggle with Microsoft Office integration
  • WebDAV alone is insufficient for modern Office co-authoring
  • Required protocols are complex and poorly documented
  • SharePoint or WOPI may not fit architecturally or organizationally
  • Existing storage, security, and business logic often cannot be replaced

As a result, real-time collaboration is frequently unavailable or limited to single-user editing.

Our Approach

DocumentService.io acts as a protocol and collaboration layer between Microsoft Office clients and your platform:

  • Implements all required / complex protocols
  • Supports Office desktop clients
  • Manages co-authoring sessions, locks, and change coordination
  • Storage- and platform-agnostic
  • Integrates with existing authentication and authorization models

Your platform remains the system of record. DocumentService.io focuses exclusively on Office compatibility.

Features & Implementation

Initial Implementation: IBM FileNet / Content Navigator / BAW

  • Enables Office co-authoring within existing FileNet repositories
  • Integrates with FileNet versioning and security models

Key Capabilities
