SharePoint is a cloud-based platform which forms part of the Microsoft 365 package. SharePoint can offer businesses a modern alternative to an on-premise Server which offers seamless connectivity and an easier way of remote working in the modern world.
SharePoint offers the ability to create, store and share documents allowing easy collaboration between employees and teams. It also offers the ability to create modern websites, site pages, lists and libraries with powerful integration from other Microsoft applications such as Power BI and MS Flow.
All you need is a web browser and an internet connection to start unlocking everything SharePoint has to offer. Trust us, you won’t be disappointed!
Top 5 benefits to you and your business
Here at EC Computers, we have put together the top 5 benefits that SharePoint can offer you and your business and with the potential to unlock a whole new World you will be keen to explore everything it has to offer.
1. Access Anywhere:
The change in the way we work these days means more staff are working from home, in the field or via remote sites which means having files at your fingertips has never been more important. SharePoint is designed to allow users to connect anywhere, anytime using a Smartphone, Tablet or more traditional devices like a Laptop and PC meaning it’s a more integrated and collaborative service than that of on-premise solutions.
Log in, get work done really is SharePoint’s mantra that will save you and your business both time and money whilst increasing the productivity of staff who no longer need to rush to the office or use a clunky VPN solution.
2. Security at its best
As Cyber criminals become more brazen in their desire to obtain data its vitally important that your data is stored securely giving you total confidence you are full protected. SharePoint’s security is nothing less than you would expect from a Microsoft product, with the ability to protect your data against unauthorized access, hacking attempts and even from being exploited against vulnerability.
Alongside Microsoft’s native security capabilities that provide you with constant data validation to ensure all your information libraries and stores are healthy, available and highly recoverable you can relax in the knowledge that even while in transit or rest your data is secure!
What’s more is that SharePoint offers you the ability to control permissions meaning you upload data but limit third party access, manage user permissions and permission levels without giving sensitive information to the wrong people and even create data and document retention polices. It really is security at its best!
3. Internal SharePoint ‘Intranet’ site
Would your business benefit from an internal intranet site where your employees can access key information whilst harnessing collective knowledge then look no further than SharePoint. SharePoint really empowers teamwork with the use of dynamic and productive team sites which can divided up into departments or teams giving you and your business everything you need right at the click of a button.
