Discover a new way to work together with Sharepoint

May 8, 2015

SharePoint is about giving you and the people you work with a better way to get things done together. That means your content is stored and organized in one place. You can access it from virtually anywhere and share it with anyone.

In today’s technology fueled world, employees expect the similar experiences at the office as they are used to in their personal lives. This has created the "consumerization of IT", and a dramatic shift in the way that IT operate.

In the past few years, we’ve seen building pressure on IT to increase the rhythm of innovation while keeping costs low. IT responsibilities have evolved from simply deploying and maintaining various tools, platforms and infrastructures, to managing and maintaining a plethora of devices and enabling the business to succeed by delivering solutions that people need and want to do their job.

When information is not well organized, it can look like this:

    • Lost productivity due to disconnected users and teams.
    • Slow response on questions, feedback, and input from subject matter experts.
    • Untapped or underused expertise or institutional knowledge.
    • Frustrating or difficult-to-use internal websites.

Every business wants to take full advantage of the resources it already has—its people, its data, and its technologies.  SharePoint Online is a collaboration platform that makes it easier to leverage your existing resources.  If your company is already using Office 365, more than likely you already have the needed license since it is included in all non-standalone plans.
