Information is buried in folders, lost in email threads, and duplicated across departments. Critical decisions stall when people can\u2019t find what they need. Graphwise for Microsoft 365 solves this with semantic tagging, automated document enrichment, and contextual search that works on meaning, not just keywords.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike traditional search tools that skim the surface, Graphwise understands what content means, how it\u2019s related, and what else might be relevant. This makes AI tools like Microsoft Copilot dramatically more effective, reducing hallucination risk and improving the confidence of users relying on AI-generated answers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With Graphwise, users can access a virtual agent in Teams or build custom assistants using Microsoft Copilot Studio. These agents intelligently tag documents, surface hidden connections, and respond to natural language queries with a deeper understanding of context\u2014drawing from enriched tenant-wide content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The solution also enhances governance. By organizing enterprise content around taxonomies and ontologies in a standards-compliant way, organizations can establish a unified source of truth. Graphwise even synchronizes taxonomy models with Microsoft\u2019s Term Store, enabling consistent classification and improved interoperability across all Microsoft 365 tenants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The benefits extend beyond AI enablement and search. Graphwise improves overall data governance, compliance, and operational efficiency. With a centralized, semantically structured content layer, organizations gain greater visibility into document lineage, usage, and access\u2014all of which are critical for meeting internal policies and regulatory obligations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These efficiencies have real financial implications. Hidden costs from duplicated effort, redundant tools, and missed insights quietly drain enterprise budgets. Graphwise reduces that friction by connecting knowledge workers to the information they need in seconds, not hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Modern organizations rely on Microsoft 365 to power collaboration, but the sheer volume of content often creates more confusion than clarity. By connecting scattered data through semantic modeling and knowledge graphs, Graphwise helps enterprises make sense of their information landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>With Graphwise, users can access a virtual agent in Teams or build custom assistants using Microsoft Copilot Studio.

Many enterprises struggle to scale their AI initiatives due to poor content quality, fragmented knowledge, and lack of semantic context. Graphwise lays the foundation for truly intelligent systems by ensuring that the data feeding AI is structured, tagged, and organized according to how the business actually operates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In doing so, Graphwise helps companies progress in key areas like enterprise AI, digital transformation, and knowledge management\u2014areas where competitive advantage will increasingly be won or lost.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.tmcnet.com\/blog\/rich-tehrani\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Atanas-Kiryakov.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"627\" height=\"627\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.tmcnet.com\/blog\/rich-tehrani\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Atanas-Kiryakov.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20087\" style=\"width:310px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.tmcnet.com\/blog\/rich-tehrani\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Atanas-Kiryakov.jpg 627w, https:\/\/blog.tmcnet.com\/blog\/rich-tehrani\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Atanas-Kiryakov-90x90.jpg 90w, https:\/\/blog.tmcnet.com\/blog\/rich-tehrani\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Atanas-Kiryakov-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 627px) 100vw, 627px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Atanas Kiryakov, President at Graphwise<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>The company behind the platform, Graphwise, is the result of the merger between Ontotext and Semantic Web Company\u2014two global leaders in semantic AI. With over 200 employees across North America, Europe, and APAC, Graphwise is positioned to support organizations globally with the deep expertise and infrastructure needed to deploy semantic AI at scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As AI becomes integral to business strategy, Graphwise for Microsoft 365 enables enterprises to move from hype to hard value. Rather than adding yet another disconnected AI tool, Graphwise aims to embed intelligence directly into the systems people already use every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>\u201cIn a typical work environment, documents and data are scattered across multiple databases, departments, platforms, etc. Critical information that could speed up communications with customers or the completion of a task remains siloed which comes at a cost to the enterprise because things can\u2019t get done.\u201d<\/p><cite>Atanas Kiryakov, President at Graphwise<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This pragmatic approach is what helps set the platform apart. By removing friction, reducing waste, and making information findable and trustworthy, Graphwise helps create a launchpad for AI adoption that delivers real productivity gains across departments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With its debut, the company also launched the Graphwise Liftoff Partner Program and made the solution available via the Azure Marketplace, signaling a robust go-to-market strategy aimed at accelerating adoption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For organizations navigating the complexity of AI integration, Graphwise offers a clear path forward: start with your content.
