Millions of employees collaborate on Microsoft Teams every day, yet the corporate content that is subject to governance is often stored elsewhere. Hyland indicates that its solution fills this gap for regulated industries, eliminating the need to make a trade-off between productivity and control.

- Hyland for Microsoft Teams can reduce application switching, avoid content dispersion, and keep documents in a governed repository instead of scattered across conversations and channels.

- This integration is aimed at organizations that are already using OnBase or Nuxeo. It allows for the expansion of existing content management and investment capabilities to Teams without the need for migration, copying of repositories, or rebuilding of workflows.

Cleveland, November 3, 2026 / PRNewswire / — Global enterprise-level content intelligence and automation company Hyland today announced the launch of Hyland for Microsoft Teams. This new integration allows Hyland to manage content that can be directly accessed within Teams. As a result, users can search for, view, manage, share, and collect governed content without leaving the main collaboration space, while also connecting Teams to supported OnBase and Nuxeo repositories.

Teams has become an important place for employee collaboration, decision-making, and completion of daily tasks. However, documents and archives that are crucial to business operations are often still stored in a separate Hyland repository, leading to a disconnect between where work is conducted and where the content being managed is located. As more and more business activities and content are transferred to Teams, issues such as dispersed content, an increase in duplicate copies, additional manual entry steps, and governance gaps are also intensifying. Hyland indicates that without a connected user experience, employees may choose to completely bypass existing content management systems in order to speed up their work. This not only undermines the value of the organization's existing investments in these systems but also weakens its governance framework more broadly.

Hyland, the Director of Industry Solution Product Management, stated: "As work unfolds across different platforms in a faster and smoother manner, it is our responsibility to ensure that governed content keeps up with these changes, rather than being bypassed. Hyland for Microsoft Teams reflect our commitment to providing support in the collaborative spaces that employees rely on every day, without requiring the organization to make compromises in terms of governance."

Provide governed content in the areas where work has already taken place.

Hyland for Microsoft Teams directly addresses the pain points of application switching, while also helping organizations to keep authoritative content in the supported Hyland repositories, rather than allowing important files and records to accumulate outside of governed content management controls. This solution allows users to search for Hyland content directly from Teams conversations and channels, enabling them to find content in the repository without having to leave the conversation or workspace.

On this basis, users can also directly view and manage this content within Teams, allowing them to open, review, and process governed content with fewer application switches. They can also share links to the content managed in Hyland, enabling teams to collaborate around authoritative documents while ensuring that the governance and security controls of the repository continue to be fully effective. This integration also supports the direct import of important content shared during conversations in Teams into the Hyland repository. As a result, content generated during collaboration can be retained for long-term management, preservation, and governance, rather than remaining scattered across various channels and conversations.

The content can also be associated with specific Teams conversations, which facilitates subsequent searching for related information. Administrators can configure the entire integration through Hyland Content Innovation Cloud and obtain the Teams application packages required for deployment.

Jacquelyn Crowhurst, the Chief Architect of Microsoft's Enterprise Partner Solutions for the Americas region, stated: "Microsoft Teams is the space where our customers collaborate and make decisions every day, and the value of these decisions depends on the content behind them. Hyland for Microsoft Teams brings credible, governed enterprise content into the workflow, helping organizations to accelerate operations while maintaining the control measures required by their businesses."

Uncompromising Governance

In regulated industries, unregulated content not only causes inconvenience but also represents a risk. Hyland illustrates that in the banking sector, whether it's customer managers preparing for meetings with business clients, credit officers trying to complete loan application documents, or anti-fraud analysts investigating suspicious checks, they can directly search for, retrieve, and use regulated OnBase content within the ongoing Teams conversations without having to leave their Teams workspace.

In the insurance industry, the claims processing team can gather photos, quotes, and expert reports shared within a dedicated channel for a particular claim case, and directly import them into the document type corresponding to that case. This automatically triggers the appropriate claims processing workflow, rather than leaving crucial evidence scattered throughout the conversation history.

The human resources team can also benefit in the same way during the recruitment process: resumes and employment-related documents shared on the recruitment channel can be easily incorporated into the types of human resources documents that are governed by rules, rather than remaining in uncontrolled conversation threads or on individual hard drives.

In all of these scenarios, the principle is the same: communication takes place within Teams, but the content, workflow, compliance, and governance remain within the Hyland platform. Hyland indicates that this distinction enables regulated organizations to provide their employees with the speed and flexibility required for modern collaboration, without exposing compliance, legal, or IT teams to new risks.

For organizations that are already using OnBase or Nuxeo, Hyland for Microsoft Teams provides a way to increase the adoption rate of these systems, protect existing investments, and lay the foundation for broader automation in the future. At the same time, the content remains under the same set of governance, security, and compliance controls that the organization has already relied on.

Hyland indicates that Hyland for Microsoft Teams are now available to existing Hyland customers who use Microsoft Teams as their primary collaboration space.
