What actually is SharePoint and how can it work for your business?

That’s a question we are often asked by businesses in all sectors and of all sizes.  It’s certainly a great tool for business today and it is surprising how many people don’t know about it.

SharePoint for Business

SharePoint is a web based platform that seamlessly integrates with Office.  Essentially it is a document management and storage system that is used by thousands of businesses around the world.  It’s not a single software program but rather somewhere where several programs can run to make up a solution for business.

The beauty of SharePoint is that it can be made just for you.  It can be configured to suit smaller or larger organisations easily.  It’s built to suit the business needs of that particular organisation.

Collaboration

With SharePoint one can share files and information with others.  This makes the data easy to find and manage, saving time and headaches.  By allowing easy collaboration within the organisation it leads to efficiencies.  You can share your files wherever you might be and with the fluid way we work today that is a great benefit.

Update your files from the home office and share with others outside the organisation if you wish.  All in a secure platform that will be familiar even to those without advanced IT skills.

OneDrive

OneDrive integrates with Office and you can track the history of activities.  Again the ability to access the files securely is a great benefit.  However, by using SharePoint it allows more advanced collaboration with teams.

There are so many benefits.  Sharing information in an efficient easy to use platform will help engage the team.  Sharing resources on portals that are secure will keep management happy.  Productivity is increased as you gather and manage data and files.  Tasks are managed and data is modified.

There are lots of activities you can monitor within the platform.  Notifications and approvals, workflows, lists, library, forms and custom apps for mobile devices, the list goes on.  Deployed on the network as a collection of intranet sites, it lets each department control its own data while letting them collaborate when required.  All accessible through a url that can be accessed wherever you are with internet access.

So now you know what SharePoint is, don’t you think it is time you considered it for your business?

Office 365 is the apps you love.  It’s Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, OneNote, OneDrive, Publisher and Access.  All the tools you want in one place.

If you have ever used Microsoft Office then you will be delighted with Microsoft 365 office suite for business, it really is a fantastic tool. Whether it is remote working or office based, the Microsoft Office programs contained within enable you to do all that you need, from word-processing to e-mailing and spreadsheet work. But just what are the individual benefits of using Microsoft 365 software?

It’s always up to date

With an Office 365 subscription, you get the latest Office apps.  You will be able to access both the desktop and the online versions.  Any updates will be done when they happen so you are always up to date.

A key feature is that it is an online service that uses the internet to access a cloud-based sharing and storage solution for consumers. The ability to upload and share important documents that many people in different locations need access to is so vital for many businesses. There is great flexibility in how the documents are shared too, from whether people have read-only access to editing rights.

Stay connected

A great knock-on effect to this is that it enables all employees within a company to stay connected and in-touch. While this is all obviously a huge advantage for remote workers, it is also highly valuable for office-based workers too. If it is a large company, the ability to share or connect with a colleague without leaving your desk is key.

Working remotely

As a remote worker, Microsoft 365 gives you the freedom to be out on the road or at home yet still have access to everything you would if in the office. All the files and folders you need are there, ready to be accessed when needed, which avoids any rushed calls to the office to get them!

The full range of Microsoft Office applications is included, so it is simple to work with and you know you are using programs that you can trust. Microsoft have also made sure that it is fully mobile and tablet-friendly, so you can use it on whichever device you prefer or have to hand.

Overall, Microsoft Office 365 is a superb solution to your productivity needs and gives users the chance to stay fully connected via latest cloud technology wherever they happen to be and whatever time it may be. This is a great bonus for businesses who require this type of solution.
