Know how SharePoint Online Supports Business Modernisation these days.
The most recent version of a solution that has been in use for many years is SharePoint Online. SharePoint Online, which is primarily a cloud-based content and information management system, has been used by several businesses to update their file, content, and information management procedures.
We talked about this with Babble, an IT support London company that businesses have been using since 2010. They have been using SharePoint for a long time (as they are a Microsoft partner), and they revealed with us some of its most useful features and how they help businesses modernise themselves.
The function of SharePoint Online as a centralised document storage platform is its most notable feature. With its strong version control and document tracking features, SharePoint's document library feature offers a reliable and effective way to arrange and manage documents in a single location. Version control reduces confusion and mistakes caused by various versions of a document floating about by ensuring that users are always working on the most recent version. For the sake of compliance and accountability, document tracking offers a thorough audit trail that records modifications, updates, and user actions.
In SharePoint Online, there is a co-authoring feature that allows users to work together on content in real-time and remotely (if they are in different places. With the co-authoring feature updating any changes to the document very quickly, users can work together easily and create a more dynamic and productive work environment.
SharePoint's collaborative editing features offer a number of benefits. Because team members may participate and offer comments at the same time, real-time collaboration drives teamwork. Decisions are made more quickly and with more productivity as a result.
SharePoint's powerful workflow features enable businesses to automate document-related procedures, minimising human labour and thus saving time. SharePoint workflows enable the development of personalised task and action sequences that may be initiated in response to preset criteria. These workflows may be made to automate notification systems, content publication, document review procedures, and more. There are numerous advantages to automation, and as a managed IT services London company, Babble has recommended it to many of its customers. They claimed that it increases the efficiency of routine work and lowers the possibility of mistakes.
Administrators can create fine-grained access rights and choose what specific employees or groups can pass through the access control and permissions management. This keeps data integrity and confidentiality by making sure that only authorised people can add, change, or remove documents.
All types of security, including document security, are so important for modern businesses. Because SharePoint is a cloud-based system that has strict access controls and rights management, it maintains document security in the business.
Along with the greater Microsoft 365 Suite, SharePoint can integrate seamlessly with other Microsoft apps (like Teams, Outlook, OneDrive, etc.) to create powerful synergies and boost productivity as SharePoint can act as a single location for document sharing, collaboration, and content management.
Babble, having previously provided Microsoft 365 consultants for several businesses, said that SharePoint, along with the rest of the Microsoft 365 package, offers a modern approach to company productivity. For example, Microsoft Teams and SharePoint work well together to facilitate collaboration. Furthermore, synchronised file storage and access across platforms are made possible via SharePoint's interface with other programs, such as OneDrive, giving users flexibility and convenience.
