Few of my friends who working on .net and other technologies
always asking me questions, why SharePoint is famous? Why organizations
(mid and enterprise size) are preferring SharePoint?
Incredulously, there are now well over 10,00,00,000 global users, Fortune 500 companies using this
multi-functional platform. It’s one of Microsoft's biggest businesses and in
past 5-6 years Microsoft sold over 36 million user licenses…!!!! A
reasonable follow-up question is what exactly does SharePoint offer to
businesses that are so widely sought after? Below are the three brief points
can help to understand what exactly in SharePoint platform?
Collaboration Every business
on the planet has an imperative need of slick, collaborative processes for
every type of operation. Microsoft’s platform helps not only centralize items
of all file-types, but it provides harmonized online and offline ways for
multiple users collaborate at once. Regardless of location and devices, we are
able to log on to our collaborative, SharePoint-based environment to work with
our colleagues on documents, projects, or business processes. Additionally,
agenda's, contacts, reports, and pretty much everything else under the sun is
all synchronized simultaneously. Users can expect a seamless, versatile
experience when working together on online and offline applications. All
these changes are updated in an automated fashion with SharePoint's hosted, online
library at the guide.All our data can be edited within our own browser so as to
avoid necessary applications on our device. SharePoint offers a way for people
to work together; regardless of location.
Internal Controls Imagine
never having to worry about who can access what. Just think on an environment
where all of our woes as to who can see our financial reports. SharePoint
offers an incredibly observing permission tool, allowing us as a business
manager or owner to have constant, unhindered control. The interface of
SharePoint is a simple-to-use dashboard of all the tools needed to assign and
inherit permissions. When building a new site, SharePoint administrators and
members (who are assigned through cloud accounts at the commencement of the
online portal) can select not only who can visit the site, but what levels of
permission they have; site visitor, contributor, administrator, etc. To take
this to an even more incentive's step, you can optimize project
management by creating sites for clients to log on to, establish agendas, store
information while still preserving your infrastructural integrity by
restricting the same clients to their own site through permissions.
Data Management We can also
experience the joy of accessing documents from any location on any device; be
it laptop, desktop, phone, or tablet. In previous times, the only way to edit
data was through direct file access, normally in an offline environment. Every
uploaded file, regardless of type or size, can be categorized within different
sites and libraries accompanied with unique workflow traits. SharePoint not
only allows as team members or business owners to open up documents via the
web, but to also synchronize work through document collaboration. Rather than
engage us in the hassle of sending files to others to carry out needed
edits.SharePoint's powerful content management platform allows us to build up
document management solutions with standard policies within our internal
environment. With managed metadata, classification, and flexible architecture,
SharePoint helps us to classify documents quickly so people will save time in
searching and retrieving information every time they need it. Businesses have
literally been able to save millions as a result of SharePoint's search
integration.
