By being spoilt with the huge selection of tool available in your Microsoft 365 licence, knowing which of its many elements will suit your business best at any given time can be a challenge. Often overlooked by business owners, Microsoft SharePoint stands out as a hidden gem that comes into its own as your organisation expands, and we’re here to shine a spotlight on it!
At its core, MS SharePoint acts as a centralised online hub, facilitating seamless document and information sharing. Whether it’s events, tasks, links, or announcements – everything essential for running a business – SharePoint ensures team members can access relevant information from any device with a connection to the internet and a browser.
What makes SharePoint outstanding?
Much like other Microsoft 365 apps, SharePoint is customisable to fit your business needs making it suitable for businesses and organisations of all sizes. Its adaptability and integration opportunities allow it to grow and evolve alongside your business requirements.
SharePoint and the era of flexible working
With the permanence of flexible working in the corporate world, a well-configured SharePoint hub enables easy file storage and access via the cloud. Wave goodbye to saving locally, reducing the risk of work loss due to hardware failures. Managing documentation becomes a breeze, especially when multiple team members need to access files and information from varying locations and devices.
Being cloud-based, the possibilities are almost limitless. Users are unrestricted by devices or locations, as long as there’s an internet connection to access a browser. Streamlining document access and collaboration significantly cuts project completion time, benefiting internal projects and client work alike. Enhanced efficiency across the board is always a win!
Additionally, the options for integration are enormous, so if you’re feeling overwhelmed you’re not alone! It’s essential to consult with your Microsoft 365 provider to really leverage all the power of MS365 integrations. SharePoint can even seamlessly integrate with social platforms like Facebook, allowing content creation and scheduling directly from SharePoint itself.
Security: your top priority
Discussing online data storage without addressing security is a no-go. SharePoint takes security seriously, offering built-in features, such as those to control content access. Site administrators can organise permissions strategically, ensuring that specific content is accessible only to designated individuals. This approach mitigates risks, such as the impact of a phishing attack on crucial information.
