Canonical reconciliation

One version of the truth — across a dozen systems.

The same contract lives in SharePoint, Box, and a deal room, in four versions, under three names. Noor needs the duplicates collapsed and the relationships resolved into one canonical record.

The reality today

The same document, scattered and conflicting

Duplicate everywhere

Identical files multiply across systems, wasting storage and trust.

Tangled versions

No through-line tells you which copy is current.

Conflicting answers

Search returns five near-identical hits and no source of truth.

How the system works

Many copies collapse into one canonical record

Cross-system duplicates collapsed; version history reconstructed

Knowledge graph

One canonical copy, every version linked

The same contract living in SharePoint, Box, and a deal room collapses into a single canonical copy. Version history is reconstructed across systems newest-first, and entities are resolved across spellings — so “Acme Corporation,” “ACME Corp,” and a tax ID become one customer, not four conflicting records.

Fileport product — One canonical copy, every version linked
What happens, step by step

From problem to proof

1

Fingerprint every file

Content hashing finds true duplicates across systems, even under different names.

2

Collapse to canonical

Identical copies map to one source of truth, with reclaimable storage flagged.

3

Reconstruct versions

The version chain is rebuilt across systems, newest first.

4

Resolve entities

‘Acme Corporation’, ‘ACME Corp’, and a tax ID become one customer.

FAQ

Common questions

How are duplicates detected?

By content hash across systems, so identical files are matched even under different names or locations.

Does it pick the ‘current’ version?

Version history is reconstructed newest-first, so the authoritative copy is clear.

What about entity name variants?

Entities are resolved across spellings and IDs into one record.
