We built a shared knowledge portal for Keolis MHI, bringing Dubai Metro, Dubai Tram and support-service documentation into a structured SharePoint Online environment. Departmental libraries, controlled access and document approval workflows give teams a common place to work with operational information.

Scope
Shared operational knowledge portal for Metro, Tram and Support Services
Business Challenge
Keeping operational knowledge organised across departments
Engineering, operations, maintenance and corporate support teams needed a consistent way to find and share operational documents. Information held in separate departmental repositories made it harder to identify current material and coordinate reviews.
Key Challenges
Documents spread across repositories
Policies, procedures and administrative files were held in separate locations. Teams faced duplicated material and inconsistent document-management practices.
Different access needs across operational teams
Metro, Tram and support departments needed shared knowledge alongside controlled access to departmental information. The portal had to reflect those responsibilities.
Manual reviews delayed document publishing
Operational documents needed review before publication. Manual coordination made the approval process harder to manage consistently.
What Neologix Delivered
A shared portal with departmental ownership
We implemented a Microsoft 365 knowledge hub using SharePoint Online and Power Automate. The portal brings departmental information together while keeping access and publishing responsibilities attached to defined roles.
SharePoint Online knowledge hub
A central landing page connects users to departmental information and document libraries.
Departmental document libraries
Libraries organise material across Dubai Metro, Dubai Tram and Support Services, including engineering, operations and corporate functions.
Document approval workflows
Power Automate routes submitted drafts to department approvers for approval or rejection before publication.
Department and role-based permissions
SharePoint groups and permission settings control access for department members, approvers, global users and administrators.
Microsoft 365 authentication
Microsoft Entra ID supports sign-in using organisational Microsoft 365 credentials.
Collaboration within Microsoft 365

Solution Architecture
SharePoint knowledge hub and document approval architecture
Users sign in through Microsoft Entra ID to access the SharePoint Online knowledge hub. Departmental libraries organise information for Dubai Metro, Dubai Tram and Support Services. SharePoint permissions control access by department and role. Power Automate routes draft documents to department approvers; approved material is published to the portal. This diagram summarises the documented components and publishing flow.

Implementation Approach
How controlled document publishing works
The documented publishing flow gives department members and approvers clear responsibilities. It connects document preparation, review and publication within the knowledge portal.
01
Prepare the document draft
A department member prepares a draft for review and publication.
02
Upload to the departmental library
The member uploads the draft to the relevant SharePoint document library.
03
Submit for review
The document enters the approval workflow and is routed to the designated department approver.
04
Approve or reject
The approver reviews the document and approves or rejects the submission.
05
Publish approved material
Approved documents are published to the portal for authorised users.
Business Outcomes
A governed foundation for operational knowledge
The delivered portal provides a shared structure for operational information, department-based access and controlled document publication. The percentage figures below are provisional estimates awaiting confirmation.
