The problem

Why Enterprise Knowledge Stays Locked Away

The documents exist. Finding the right answer doesn't.

Organisations store vast amounts of critical knowledge in PDFs, Word files, and PowerPoint presentations — but employees struggle to find, access, and trust that information when they need it most. ODP replaces manual searching with a direct, grounded line from question to cited answer.

Challenge ODP solves it

15–30 minutes per query, just to find an answer

Employees manually open documents, search headings, and cross-reference files — draining hundreds of hours per month across dozens of daily queries.

Natural language Q&A

Employees type questions the way they speak, no special syntax or search operators, and get an instant answer.

Inconsistent answers across the organisation

Different employees find different document versions or interpret policy language differently, creating compliance risk and operational inconsistency.

Cited, document-grounded answers

Every answer links back to the exact source document in SharePoint, so employees can verify it with a single click.

Knowledge locked in siloes

Only experienced employees know where specific information lives, so new hires take weeks to learn the document landscape.

Hybrid semantic search

Combines vector similarity and semantic re-ranking to surface the most contextually relevant content, not just keyword matches.

Outdated documents still in circulation

Older file versions remain accessible alongside current ones, so employees can’t tell if an answer is still valid.

Auto-updating knowledge base

SharePoint documents are automatically re-indexed every 3 hours, so a new policy is searchable with zero manual steps.

Colleagues interrupted for questions

Employees resort to asking colleagues rather than searching themselves, creating friction and dependency on a few knowledge holders.

Multi-layer hallucination prevention

Five enforced guardrails keep every answer grounded in your documents — the system cannot fabricate information.

No way to measure document Q&A quality

Organisations have no visibility into whether employees are getting accurate, complete, or relevant answers.

Feedback & quality analytics

Users rate every response; feedback is LLM-categorised and surfaced in an admin dashboard for continuous improvement.

One Digital Pier FAQs

What is One Digital Pier?

One Digital Pier (ODP) is Techment’s enterprise document intelligence platform. Powered by Retrieval-Augmented Generation, it lets employees ask natural language questions and receive accurate, cited answers sourced directly from an organisation’s own documents, in real time, inside Microsoft Teams.

How does One Digital Pier prevent AI hallucinations?

ODP enforces five layered guardrails that keep every generated answer grounded in retrieved document content. Answers are produced by GPT-4.1 with strict grounding instructions and a temperature of 0.0, so the model cannot fabricate information beyond the provided context.

Which file formats does One Digital Pier support?

ODP indexes PDFs, Word documents, PowerPoint presentations, and text files uploaded to a SharePoint document library — the same way admins already manage those files, with no special formatting required.

How quickly are new documents searchable?

An Azure AI Search indexer crawls the SharePoint library every 3 hours, automatically chunking and embedding new or updated documents, so newly uploaded content becomes searchable with zero manual steps.

Where do employees use One Digital Pier?

Employees interact with ODP directly inside Microsoft Teams, through a bot built on the Microsoft Teams AI SDK, so no separate application or login is required.

Can answers from ODP be verified?

Yes. Every answer is delivered as a rich Adaptive Card that includes links back to the original source document in SharePoint, so employees can verify the answer with a single click.

What technology powers One Digital Pier?

ODP is built on Azure OpenAI GPT-4.1, the text-embedding-3-large model, Azure AI Search for hybrid retrieval, SharePoint Online as the document source, Microsoft Teams for delivery, and Azure Cosmos DB with Azure AI Foundry for feedback and analytics.
