About officeatwork
officeatwork is a branded communication and content‑management solution that integrates directly with Microsoft 365 applications such as Word, PowerPoint, Excel, Outlook, Teams, and SharePoint.
Instead of requiring users to hunt for templates or recreate slides, officeatwork provides centralized access to approved templates, slides, images, and other brand assets, all available directly within Microsoft Office applications. This ensures consistent branding across documents, presentations, and emails while reducing manual effort.
officeatwork is designed to support organizations of all sizes, from individual users and small businesses to large enterprises that require centralized control, scalability, and consistent brand management across departments. The product has earned multiple awards and is recognized as a leader in SaaS-based document creation and content management for Microsoft 365.
Morten Hald Mortensen adds, “officeatwork appears to be well suited for public-sector organizations, enterprises, and medium-to-large businesses. The solution is particularly valuable for organizations that place importance on efficiency, brand consistency, and compliance. One of officeatwork’s key strengths is its ease of onboarding. This makes the solution attractive not only to large enterprises, but also to organizations with a few hundred users, since teams can begin benefiting from the “Chooser” apps almost immediately after deployment.”
This platform is developed and owned by officeatwork AG, a Swiss software company specializing in productivity add-ins and cloud-based solutions for Microsoft 365 applications, including Word, PowerPoint, Excel, Outlook, Teams, and SharePoint.
In 2025, officeatwork was acquired by Omnidocs Group, a Danish provider of document-automation solutions backed by Main Capital Partners. The acquisition aims to combine the complementary technologies of both companies while strengthening Omnidocs’ strategic presence across the DACH region, encompassing Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.
Our primary contact at Omnidocs for this feature was Morten Hald Mortensen, with additional insights from Roman Stalder and Jeffrey Schär helped answering many of my questions.

Installing officeatwork Add-ins
Be aware that there is not just one officeatwork add-in. In fact, there are more than ten such add-ins. If you are part of an enterprise-level organization, the admin will choose the add-ins that are accessible for each individual user or group of users. In fact, your add-ins will be auto installed for you via centralized deployment. Of course, If you just want to use the add-in once for yourself, or if you are testing, you can also install it from the Office Store using your signed in Microsoft 365 account (provided your admin allows it).
officeatwork offers a broad suite of apps designed to help organizations manage templates, slides, images, documents, email signatures, and branded content across Microsoft 365 applications. Below is an overview of the main officeatwork apps/add-ins, and what each one does. Let us first make you aware of the entire gamut of officeatwork add-ins:

Pricing and Support
officeatwork follows a fairly flexible pricing and support model that is designed primarily for organizations using Microsoft 365 at scale. Instead of selling a single bundled add-in, officeatwork offers a subscription-based ecosystem where companies can activate only the apps they need. An interesting aspect of officeatwork’s licensing model is that the apps are available free for personal Microsoft accounts. Paid licensing applies primarily to Microsoft work and school accounts.
officeatwork offers three main subscription tiers: Starter, Business, and Enterprise. All plans provide access to the full officeatwork ecosystem, including apps such as Slide Chooser, Template Chooser, Formatter, Designer, and Mail Signature. Additionally, officeatwork also uses a pay-per-use app model. This means organizations only pay for the apps that users actively use during a 30-day period.
In our experience, support has been first rate, and they went out of their way to ensure that everything worked for us. One notable aspect of officeatwork’s support approach is that deployment assistance is often included.
Conclusion
Overall, officeatwork delivers a compelling return on investment by helping organizations reduce the time spent searching for templates, recreating content, correcting formatting inconsistencies, and managing brand compliance manually. Its centralized approach to templates, slides, images, and communication assets can significantly improve efficiency across teams while reducing the workload on IT and marketing departments. Particularly noteworthy is officeatwork’s strong price-to-performance ratio. Compared to many enterprise document-management and template-governance solutions, officeatwork offers a broad range of Microsoft 365-integrated capabilities at a comparatively accessible price point, making it an attractive option for organizations seeking enterprise-level functionality without the complexity or cost often associated with larger platforms.
