Does This Sound Familiar?
"We don't even know what we have. It's a junkyard."
This is what we hear from law firms — large and small — every week. Decades of matter files, email attachments, working drafts, and duplicate documents across disconnected systems. No naming convention. No visibility. No way to find the "official" version of anything. Just dark data that accumulates faster than anyone can address it manually.
How is Shinydocs AI Search less expensive than Cloud AI Providers?
Shinydocs AI eliminates expensive per use and "tokenization" fees. When Cloud AI Providers charge per use, they include hidden Overhead and Profit fees such as Hardware, Electricity, etc.
With Shinydocs, there are no hidden fees, you control the use, and you eliminate the unnecessary costs.

How Shinydocs AI Search Works!
Shinydocs is software that is installed either in your cloud or on premises. You don't put your documents in Shinydocs - it finds only the documents you tell it to find from your existing repositories such as File Shares, SharePoint, iManage, NetDocuments, Teams, Exchange, Box, and more — so you can search your data, just like using Google - but securely and privately on your content!
Is Shinydocs AI Search Secure and Private?
Shinydocs AI Search respects the permissions of your underlying systems. If a user doesn't normally have permissions to see a document, they will never find it using Search!
How does Shinydocs AI Search Create New Content?
Shinydocs AI Search finds the right documents based upon your input. When you request Shinydocs AI Search to create something new, it gathers the right content from your existing documents as a template, and fills in the rest with what the you have asked it to create!

Automated Information Management
Automated Information Management for Federal Government
ATIP and FOIA compliance depend on finding the right records, fast.
Search every repository from one interface, keep data clean, enforce retention schedules, and respond to requests on time — without migrating a single file.
Canadian Federal Records Management Automation
ATIP request volumes are rising and federal institutions are falling behind. The Access to Information Act mandates a 30-day response deadline. Manual processes cannot meet that obligation at scale. Automated records management can.
Compliance Software for Canadian Government Legislation
| Legislation / Policy | What Shinydocs Addresses |
|---|---|
| Access to Information Act (ATIA) | ATIP response readiness, federated records search, responsive record identification, 30-day deadline support |
| Privacy Act (Canada) | PII classification, access controls, breach exposure reduction across the federal content estate |
| Library and Archives Canada Act | Full information lifecycle management aligned to approved LAC disposition authorities and records schedules |
| TB Directive on Service and Digital | Creation, AI classification, retention schedule enforcement, disposition, full audit trail |
| Policy on Government Security | Sensitive information flagging, access controls, PII classification across federal repositories |
| Directive on Privacy Impact Assessment | PIA readiness, PII inventory, breach exposure reduction |
| ATIP Request Management | End-to-end workflow: AI classification, federated search, PII flagging, 30-day deadline support |
Vendor of Record for Ontario Municipalities
Ontario government organizations can engage Shinydocs without an RFP through an existing vendor of record arrangement.
US Federal Records Management Automation
Manual FOIA compliance is no longer a viable strategy. The Freedom of Information Act requires agencies to respond within 20 business days. With requests rising 25% year over year, automation is the only sustainable path forward.
Compliance Software for US Government Legislation
| Legislation / Policy | What Shinydocs Addresses |
|---|---|
| Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) | FOIA response readiness, federated records search, responsive record identification, statutory deadline support |
| Privacy Act of 1974 | PII classification, access controls, breach exposure reduction across the federal content estate |
| Federal Records Act (FRA) | Full information lifecycle management: creation, classification, retention enforcement, disposition |
| NARA Disposition Authorities | Defensible disposition aligned to approved NARA schedules |
| OMB/NARA M-23-07 | Electronic records compliance, legacy system migration support, full audit trail |
| FISMA | Sensitive information flagging, access controls, PII classification across federal repositories |
| E-Government Act / Section 208 | Privacy Impact Assessment readiness, PII inventory, breach exposure reduction |
Measured Outcomes Across Federal Government Deployments
From backlog clearance to ATIP response time, every metric reflects what information governance looks like when it runs automatically.
Storage Cost Reduction
ROT and duplicates eliminated across every connected repository. Storage spend drops from day one.
Records Under Active Governance
Aligned to Library and Archives Canada and Treasury Board requirements. Every record classified, scheduled, and governed.
Backlog Cleared in 12 Months
A two-decade backlog cleared in a single year. No manual review required.
ROI on Governed Content
Governed content improves accuracy across GC-approved AI tools, search, and reporting.
Saved in Year One
Through defensible disposition and reduced infrastructure spend. Savings compound as governance prevents re-accumulation.
ATIP Response Times
The 30-day statutory deadline becomes a reliable standard, not a best-case outcome.
Information Management Control Stays with Your Team
Flexible Deployment: On-Premises or Cloud
Deploy inside your existing infrastructure or in the cloud. Your team chooses the environment that fits your department's security and IT requirements.
Governance in Place. No Migration Required.
Shinydocs runs against your existing repositories. Content is classified and governed where it already lives. No staging environment, no bulk move, no disruption to day-to-day operations.
Security and Permissions Unchanged
Active Directory integration ensures existing permissions are honoured from day one. No access disruption, no permission resets, and no security gaps created by the deployment process.
Continuous Governance. Not a One-Time Cleanup.
Every new record is automatically classified, tagged, and governed from creation. Your backlog clears and stays clear. New content never accumulates into the next backlog.
Your Team Owns the Configuration
Records officers define how governance rules are structured, applied, and updated. Retention policies, classification rules, and repository configurations are all managed internally without requiring the vendor.
Unstructured Data Creates Compliance Risk at Scale
Manual records management was never built for the content volume modern government produces. Storage grows faster than teams can review it. Policies exist on paper but go unenforced. The result is an information estate that cannot reliably respond when it needs to.
Data Governance Policies That Go Unenforced
Classification rules and retention schedules exist on paper. Without automated enforcement, compliance depends on individuals. Gaps accumulate silently.
Content Scattered Across Disconnected Systems
Records sit in email, SharePoint, GCDOCS, network shares, and legacy platforms. Responding to a request means searching each one separately — or missing content entirely.
Accumulated ROT That Never Gets Cleared
Redundant, obsolete, and trivial content expands storage costs and degrades search accuracy. Without automated disposition, ROT compounds every year.
Five Steps to a Fully Governed Government Content Estate
Each step is logged, auditable, and runs without leaving the platform. No handoffs between systems. No manual tracking between steps.
Full Content Inventory
Every repository scanned, tagged, and scored. You get a searchable map of every record across your information estate.
PII and Privilege Classification
High-confidence AI flags PII and sensitive content across every connected system. ROT and duplicates identified simultaneously.
Human Review Where It Counts
Ambiguous content is routed to a reviewer with context. Reviewers only see what genuinely requires a human decision.
Defensible Disposition of ROT
Redundant, obsolete, and trivial content disposed of with a full audit trail. Storage costs drop and governance rules prevent re-accumulation.
Retention Schedule Enforcement
Schedules applied to every classified record automatically. Your retention policy becomes enforced reality, not documented aspiration.
Build an AI-Ready Government Content Estate
Ungoverned repositories produce unreliable AI outputs. Shinydocs classifies and cleans government content before it enters Microsoft Copilot, RAG pipelines, or any enterprise AI tool. Governance runs continuously, so AI data quality never degrades.
Book a MeetingAuthoritative Versions Surface First
Governed content means the right version of a document is always findable. Duplicates and superseded drafts are resolved before they reach AI tools.
Governance That Doesn't Decay
Classification and retention enforcement run continuously. As new content arrives, it enters governance immediately, not during the next annual review cycle.
PII Stays Out of AI Pipelines
Sensitive content is flagged and access-controlled before it reaches any downstream AI tool. Breach exposure is reduced at the source.
Works With Every System Already in Your Environment
Shinydocs connects directly to your existing repositories. Content is classified and governed in place. No migration required before your team can act on it.
Book a DemoRepository Coverage Across Every Government Environment
Highlighted connectors are most commonly used in federal government information management workflows. All connectors are included in a standard Shinydocs deployment.
"We needed one system that could find records across every repository and apply our retention rules without moving a single file. That's exactly what Shinydocs does."
