Benefits of Microsoft SharePoint
Increase productivity with SharePoint and brand with your corporate identity.
Because Microsoft SharePoint is integrated with familiar Microsoft products such as Microsoft Office, Outlook and Internet Explorer, users intuitively understand how to use it. This means that training costs are considerably reduced and your staff are more likely to want to use the system. The user interface is clean, simple and can be branded with your corporate branding further enriching the end user experience. By empowering user to develop and manage their own content, and by utilising automated approval workflows, SharePoint allows content to be delivered quickly and efficiently.
Microsoft SharePoint reduces cost and integrates with business applications
By allowing you to integrate with your Line of Business (LOB) applications SharePoint can allow you to gain insight into your customers and allow you to answer questions that could really reduce the running costs of your business. Once you have made the investment into SharePoint, it can be re-used in many areas of your business and will save on time, storage space and most importantly money.
Effectively manage and reuse content and control versions
Microsoft SharePoint allows business users and content authors to create and submit content for approval and scheduled deployment to intranet or Internet sites. As content becomes centrally stored it is available to SharePoint for reporting purposes and through specially designed development API’s can be accessed by 3rd Party Line Of Business (LOB) applications. Content versioning allows you to make the latest version of a document available to users whilst you are working on an unpublished draft version
Drastically Improve File Storage
SharePoint supplies workspaces with document storage and retrieval features, including check-in/check-out functionality, version history, custom metadata, and customizable views. New features in Windows SharePoint Services include enhanced recycle bin functionality for easier recovery of content and improved backup and restoration This “File system” is stored in a location central to your business which makes sharing information easier and avoids the need for storing documents on removable media or via email.
