With shifting dynamics in the way today’s workforce
operates, a prime asset is any technology that increases productivity and the
level at which a business functions. Organizations frequently struggle to find
a no-nonsense, easily managed solution that improves collaboration,
communication, security, and workflows. The integration of SharePoint with
Office 365 is the answer many business owners are seeking. A tool for document
management and collaboration, Microsoft SharePoint effectively accommodates the
control and management of internal documents and business content.
In our modern technology-centered work environment,
businesses often operate from multiple locations. Operating hours and a tool
for delivering on-time work must be flexible. With Office 365 and SharePoint,
users are able to share and store documents in a tightly integrated data
management system that has the needed flexibility.
Top Office 365 and SharePoint Business Solutions
It’s always an added benefit when business solutions cover
multiple challenges, which is why Office 365 and SharePoint are a popular
option. Whatever your business goal, there is a good chance you will find in
SharePoint a helpful tool toward that end.
Accommodates Remote Access and Mobility of Employees
BYOD is when employees of an organization are allowed to
use their own electronic devices for work purposes, including smartphones and
computers. Most organizations have adopted BYOD, remote access, and mobility,
putting demand on vital business applications that can be accessed
round-the-clock from any geo-location. SharePoint Online makes it easy to
coordinate with other team members and access company files from anywhere in
the world that has an Internet connection. The fact that no one has to wait
until they return to a physical office to open, edit, or review any document
improves productivity and business performance.
Self-Service BI Capabilities
Business Intelligence (BI) is a reference to applications,
practices, and technologies for the presentation, analysis, integration, and
collection of business information. Office 365 is rich with features that
include self-service BI capabilities. The integration of multiple applications
can be effortlessly leveraged to garner knowledge from various systems. This
capability enhances the competence to gain ready-to-use insights and make
cognizant decisions.
Improve Processes and Workflows
With manual handling of approvals and handoffs,
productivity is slowed and time is wasted. Automizing business workflows with
Microsoft Office 365 and SharePoint cuts down the time required to complete
business processes. Involved individuals receive instant notifications that
make them aware of activities awaiting their attention. Ultimately,
organizations are better equipped to focus on their core expertise as resources
are released.
Improved Integration
Certain capabilities that are lacking in many document
management programs are easily integrated with Office 365 and SharePoint. For
instance, Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Customer Relationship
Management (CRM), which help to increase an organization’s overall
profitability, can be integrated with SharePoint. Workflows, administrative
systems, and planning can all be linked through the SharePoint platform.
