Microsoft SharePoint offers a wealth of benefits for your organisation. By leveraging constructive technologies, it positively transforms your work culture. What does Microsoft SharePoint do, and why should you use it? Below we highlight ten benefits and explain how they strengthen your organisation.

The Ten Benefits of SharePoint

1. Flexible

With SharePoint you create intranet sites that act as an internal internet for your organisation. Day-to-day tasks become much easier — whether approving, reviewing, or tracking, you can initiate, monitor, and report on every process. All within the SharePoint environment. SharePoint is accessible from your smartphone, tablet, laptop, or PC. With a SharePoint intranet, your office travels with you.

2. Security

Protecting business data is every organisation's top priority. SharePoint hosts everything on a single platform, reducing the risk of data leaks. When it comes to document sharing, SharePoint has robust security features for document access and editing rights. You decide who can process information at which sensitivity level.

3. Streamline Your Business Processes

By centralising all data in one place, you streamline your business processes — whether communicating with customers, partners, or suppliers. All information is organised in the SharePoint portal, helping you make decisions, spot trends, and optimise workflows. This saves time and frees you up for other activities.

4. Business Intelligence

Depending on your SharePoint installation, you can publish and retrieve data from various sources including Excel, OneNote, and Microsoft SQL Server. SharePoint is compatible with all web browsers. Beyond integrating with other applications, it also helps bring every work environment together in one place.

5. Optimise Your Content Management

Content management is crucial for every organisation, both internally and externally. With SharePoint you can use Microsoft Office to create, edit, publish, and convert documents to various formats. You can prepare and schedule content for publication, and it supports multilingual content management.

6. Simplify Your Data Management

SharePoint includes many features to help maintain documents: version history, check-in/check-out, permission alerts, custom templates, document workflows, and document alerts. SharePoint makes data management simple and efficient — giving you exactly what you need without overwhelming you with disorganised information.

7. Customisation

SharePoint offers extensive customisation. It can be tailored to the needs of your organisation or project, giving you access to a range of custom features and tools that go beyond the standard setup.

8. Cost Reduction

SharePoint is a cloud solution. In the cloud, you get storage capacity based on your requirements — buy more or less depending on your needs.

9. Real-Time Collaboration

SharePoint supports simultaneous document editing by multiple people, improving collaboration and eliminating duplicate documents. The document version history lets you retrieve any version of a document. SharePoint also records details like when a document was last edited and by whom.

10. Boost Productivity

With automated document management, you have more time on your hands. SharePoint takes over many time-consuming tasks, letting you focus on work that requires your expertise. Having access to all data in one central place speeds up workflows and makes you more efficient.
