THE PROBLEM

Every new site is built from scratch

Users create SharePoint sites manually, with inconsistent structures, missing metadata, and no governance. Every site becomes a one-off that IT has to clean up later.

THE SOLUTION

Template-based site provisioning

Define site templates once, including structure, permissions, metadata, and branding. Users pick a template, fill in the details, and Templater provisions a policy-compliant site automatically.

THE PROBLEM

Permissions spiral out of control

Every new SharePoint site inherits wrong permissions or gets manually adjusted. Over time, access rights become a patchwork no one understands, a compliance nightmare waiting to happen.

THE SOLUTION

Permissions baked into every template

Define permission structures per template. Templater applies the right groups, inheritance settings, and access levels at provisioning time, consistently, every single time.

How it works →

THE PROBLEM

No workflow, no accountability

Site requests come in by email, ticket, or hallway conversation. There's no structured process, no approval trail, and no way to know who requested what, or why.

THE SOLUTION

Built-in approval workflows

Templater integrates with SharePoint workflows and Nintex. Every site request goes through a configurable approval chain, with a full audit trail, notifications, and escalation rules.

THE PROBLEM

Cloud migration is not an option

Regulatory requirements, data sovereignty, or legacy dependencies keep your SharePoint farm on-premises. Cloud-only tools don’t work. Your provisioning stays manual, your governance stays broken.

THE SOLUTION

100% on-premises, zero cloud dependency

Templater runs entirely on your SharePoint farm. No data leaves your network, no cloud service required. Compatible with SharePoint 2013, 2016, 2019, and Subscription Edition. Your infrastructure, your rules.
