For almost two decades, Microsoft SharePoint has been a valued collaboration tool in the business world. Originally part of the on-premise Microsoft Office, SharePoint allowed users to share files with other members of an organisation or a specific team that would have their own ‘site’.
Typically, a site hosts documents, lists, libraries and other content such as help guides. This functionality, combined with a high level of customisation, meant SharePoint was used to host company documentation and to power company intranets or websites.
SharePoint Online builds on these capabilities with the power of cloud technology and by leveraging the full range of Microsoft Office 365 applications. Collaboration is further enhanced with the inclusion of calendars, tasks and notifications for a particular group of people.
Updates are rolled out automatically, reducing the maintenance burden on IT departments and ensuring end users always have access to the latest features. If used effectively, the powerful collaborative capabilities of SharePoint Online can transform how organisations work.
