SharePoint – Collaboration

In its simplest form, “SharePoint is a suite of team collaboration software tools. It is widely recognized by larger companies as an enterprise solution, yet it is becoming increasingly popular in the SMB market.” (Source: Office 365)

“The tricky thing about explaining what SharePoint does is that it isn’t any one software program but rather a platform for several different kinds of programs. SharePoint isn’t something you buy and install on your own desktop but rather a back-end system that ties all your employees’ PCs and mobile devices together, allowing them all to communicate and synchronize their efforts. The basic goal is to make it possible for a company with a hundred employees spread all over the region to work with the same level of agility and coordination as a company with ten people working out of a single office.” (Aptera Inc.)

SharePoint is another flexible, affordable solution for small businesses who want to manage content centrally. It enables you to share documents and information with co-workers or contractors, suppliers, and customers – helping your team work collaboratively and effectively.

SharePoint is also one of the more user-friendly tools on the market wen running your company website. Anyone who’s familiar with basic Microsoft programs can easily set up, update and manage your company website thanks to SharePoint’s Word-like control panel.

It’s an end-to-end solution that has huge benefits if you value a collaborative workplace, streamlined processes and data that’s centrally stored yet easily accessible. As with Dynamics GP, SharePoint’s affordable subscription fee can be scaled up, so you only ever pay for the functionality your growing business needs.

So, do yourself a favor – set your business up with the right process management and collaboration tools to grow today, so you can concentrate on actually running it tomorrow.
