Description
Professional work with files directly from Kontainer
With the integration between Kontainer DAM and Microsoft Office 365, it becomes simple to create, share, and present content in Word, PowerPoint, and Excel – always with the latest approved files from your DAM.
Kontainer’s Office 365 plugin makes it possible to fetch images, logos, documents, and presentation elements directly from the DAM, without having to save locally or upload manually. This allows everyone in the organization to work quickly, efficiently, and in compliance with brand guidelines.
All content is organized in Kontainer with metadata, tags, and versioning. This means that users always have access to updated and rights-secured files – directly in the Office tools where the work takes place.

Why?
The importance of integrating Office 365 and Kontainer DAM
In many organizations, presentations, reports, and documents are central to communication – both internally and externally. The challenge is often that employees use outdated logos, images without rights, or incorrect versions of files.
With Kontainer DAM as the single source of truth, Office 365 becomes only a work tool – not a file archive. This ensures higher quality, consistency, and brand protection.
Integration with DAM saves time, reduces the risk of errors, and ensures that the organization always appears professional. At the same time, GDPR compliance and advanced access management guarantee that only relevant and approved files are used.
