What do a library, a conference room, a kit and a safe all have in common? It's a metaphor for the fundamental benefits that SharePoint brings

More than 20,000 new users around the world see how SharePoint is transforming the workspace every day. In medium and large companies, this tool opens up communication with the slogan: “Without Borders”. However, not everyone who makes the decision to innovate in a company knows exactly what the main benefits of this solution are. In the following points, we will look at them in a more user-friendly way.

SharePoint as a library

Imagine a library where all your important documents and files are securely stored, but are simultaneously easily accessible. This centralised repository of information makes it easy to collaborate and access information, saving time and reducing the chaos associated with searching for documents. After all, we've all experienced the embarrassment of saying, "Send me the latest version." You can co-create documents in a collaborative way, allowing you to securely connect from anywhere, anytime, without losing the most up-to-date information. At the same time, SharePoint allows for superior document management such as document lifecycle automation, various templates, full text search, versioning, e-signature integration, and revision history record.

SharePoint as a conference room

What can bring team spirit together more than a shared space. Instant messaging, discussion forums, blogs, idea sharing, calendar. Here creativity knows no boundaries, literally. You can comment and contribute from anywhere. You can create customized pages for individual projects or teams. Think of SharePoint as a creative virtual space that takes team collaboration and productivity to the next level. Think of it as a space where your team meets and creates without the need for a physical presence.

SharePoint as a building block

SharePoint's customisability and scalability are key features that make it particularly attractive to midsize businesses. They allow companies to extend this environment according to their specific needs and growing requirements. SharePoint is like Lego. It is designed to work hand-in-hand with other Office 365 applications such as Outlook, Teams and Excel. This means you can use all of these tools together, increasing efficiency and productivity. You can create workflows, forms, and even integrate it with other external apps. And as your business grows, SharePoint can grow with it.

SharePoint as a vault

Imagine SharePoint as a vault, where all your data is safely stored, and also protected by advanced security measures. And there’s no need for special software or additional security. With medium-sized companies, hackers often perceive a lower level of security, and therefore these companies tend to be frequent targets of cyber attacks. For them, SharePoint is an attractive solution in this regard. The tool offers advanced access management, data encryption, multi-level security, auditing, data loss prevention, and regular updates. All with a very friendly and intuitive interface.

As part of the benefits package, it is not only sophisticated, but also a cost-effective solution. Since SharePoint is part of the Office 365 cloud solution, you don't have to invest in expensive hardware or software. This can significantly reduce your capital expenditure and simplify IT management. Another benefit is that regular updates and security issues are handled directly by Microsoft. On the whole, SharePoint in Office 365 is a simple path to smarter business, and we can help you set it up properly and fine-tune it to suit you.
