  What is SharePoint? |
SharePoint is an enterprise collaboration portal that enables users to share, find, and manage content easily with features like document management, search, and wikis. The SharePoint platform's ability to aggregate data from different systems to create at-a-glance SharePoint Dashboard views of your business's Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) may be its most powerful and valulable feature. Key SharePoint business benefits include:
- Find Documents Fast: Search performs full-text indexing of all the words contained in the documents you store on your network drive or in SharePoint
- Avoid Costly Mistakes with Contracts and Documents: Document Management features like Version Control and Audit Trail allow teams to work together and avoid costly mistakes (e.g. sending a customer the wrong version of a document)
- Establish Best Practices: Use Wikis to easily create, maintain, and locate best practices and standard operating procedures
- Improve Team Collaboration and Communication: Establish an Intranet Portal that is tailored to fit your organization structure and business processes
- Manage Projects Easily and Effectively: Leverage Outlook-integrated Tasks, Alerts and Notifications to track team progress
- Improve Business Processes: Use Workflow Automation and Online eForms to streamline business processes
- Make Better Decisions: Take advantage of at-a-glance SharePoint Dashboards that provide a holistic view of business KPIs
- Change Employee Behavior: Adjust and track employee performance KPIs to motivate employees to achieve company, department, and individual goals
SharePoint is ideal for internal collaboration, as well as sharing information with external customers and vendors. Contact DMC to get help figuring out if your organization would benefit from using SharePoint. |
