Read on to discover how integrating Microsoft 365 SharePoint into your workflow can unlock even more efficiency for your company. We will define what SharePoint is, explain its benefits, how to begin integrating it into your current workflow, and the platform’s advantages.
What is SharePoint?
 |
Microsoft 365 SharePoint is a cloud-based software solution created by Microsoft to make document collaboration, task management, and content organization easier than ever. It offers users a wide range of tools to work together in a unified workspace, including file sharing, communication tools, project task lists, and document libraries.
SharePoint allows users to quickly share documents with colleagues and create easy-to-use workspaces customized to the user’s needs. With its drag-and-drop functionality, it is easy to upload and store files in the cloud or connect with other sources like OneDrive. It also provides an intuitive search functionality that makes it simple for users to find what they need without having to manually look through folders and files.
The platform also comes with integrated task-management features that enable teams to manage projects collaboratively. This includes creating tasks for each person involved in the project, setting deadlines for task completion, assigning tasks to different team members, and tracking progress on each individual task. SharePoint also provides reports and dashboards so users can always stay up to date on their project progress.
Introduction to Microsoft 365 SharePoint’s Benefits
SharePoint has so many benefits. Storage ability, creating websites and having all files in one place are just to name a few.
Storage Ability
Microsoft 365 SharePoint gives businesses the ability to store, share, and manage their documents and content with ease. By utilizing Microsoft 365 SharePoint, organizations can streamline productivity, increase collaboration among employees, and ensure secure access to data.
Ability to Create Websites
With Microsoft 365 SharePoint, users can create websites to store documents such as reports, presentations, spreadsheets, images, videos, and more. Documents stored in SharePoint are secure and accessible from anywhere – meaning teams can work together without having to be physically present. With the use of advanced search capabilities, documents can quickly be located using keywords or phrases.
Keeps Everything in One Place
SharePoint also provides a central repository for team projects so users can stay informed about progress. Team sites allow for discussion boards to keep conversations organized by topic and file sharing, so everyone has access to the most up-to-date information. Additionally, SharePoint's workflow engine allows organizations to automate tasks resulting in faster completion rates of projects with little effort required from the user themselves.
Steps to Integrate Microsoft 365 SharePoint into the Workflow
To integrate Microsoft 365 SharePoint into your workflow, there are several steps you can take. First, you will need to sign up for a free or paid subscription. Depending on your needs, you may want to consider either the Microsoft 365 Business plan or an Enterprise plan which includes additional features such as team sites, extranet site support, and eDiscovery capabilities. Once you have subscribed for a plan, you need to set up the environment by creating users' profiles who will be given access to SharePoint resources as well as pre-defined permission levels for each user. Once users have been assigned permissions, they can begin working with their new environment by accessing content within their accounts. This can be done via web browsers such as Internet Explorer or Chrome using the dedicated app store provided by Microsoft or through specialized third-party software tools built specifically for integrating with SharePoint, such as Nintex Workflow Cloud or Metalogix Content Matrix Console.
After the setup process is complete, it is time to start utilizing all the features of Microsoft 365 SharePoint in your workflow. You can begin by leveraging document libraries for storage, managing tasks with lists, talking in real time through conversations, creating custom applications with PowerApps, deploying automated processes using Flow, setting up extranet site collections, or tracking changes using versioning options. By utilizing all of these features together, you can ensure that everyone in your organization has access to information when needed while at the same time ensuring compliance requirements are met with ease—all from one centralized platform.
Advantages of Customizing with Microsoft 365 SharePoint
One of the major advantages of customizing with Microsoft 365 SharePoint is its flexibility. It offers a wide range of features that make it possible for users to quickly create powerful web applications without needing to have programming knowledge. By using out-of-the-box templates, you don't have to start from scratch when creating an application; instead, you can simply customize existing components according to your needs. Additionally, SharePoint allows for seamless integration with other Microsoft products, such as Outlook and Office 365 applications. This makes it easier for admins and users to access critical documents across different platforms in a secure manner.
SharePoint also provides a suite of security tools that keep sensitive data safe while allowing authorized personnel to access business information when required. These tools include multi-factor authentication (MFA), encryption capabilities, permission levels, external sharing settings, malicious behavior detection and prevention measures, and more. They help ensure that only authorized personnel have access to confidential information while keeping malicious actors out.
SharePoint enables organizations to tailor their internal communications so they can effectively collaborate on projects with colleagues in different departments or locations around the world. This makes it easier for team members to work on projects remotely or from any device at anytime from anywhere in the world without having to worry about security risks or operational hiccups.
