MS SharePoint / SQL Reviews

Internal intranet for our company to enable users a central location for file storage, company wide notification and collaboration tools

Enables a central file depository for teams and departments

Great search functions

Customizable user permissions

Integration with 3rd party providers since Sharepoint has been around for years

Good integration with the Microsoft ecosystem. Active directory security is an advantage.

Remotely accessible and the files are up to date. We can link to local storage.

Version control.

We're using it here at LendingTree as a centralized document storage location broken up by teams and content so it's easy to find what you're looking for in a centralized location.

At Starbucks, we used it to pass along information to the tens of thousands of baristas located all over the world.

SharePoint: Data Management of documents, and turning spreadsheets into lists.

SharePoint Online: Continuous improvements, and the ability to preview the improvements before general release.

SQL: Excellent Database platform. Easy to connect to, and less expensive than Oracle for both implementation and management. I don't believe in using open source (i.e. MySQL) in a corporate environment.

Allow users to access documents no matter where they are.

It's secure.

It is end-user friendly. Our team members can use it quickly and efficiently.

It is efficient in managing large amounts of data.

OneDrive is the front end for our users. The back end of OneDrive is SharePoint which allows storing of files and folders and it also allows our users to share those files and folders with other users globally, internally and externally.

As SharePoint is also the back of end of MS Teams it allows for much better many to many collaboration. It also allows for conversations in teams to be had globally between different teams within the same organization.

Yammer is also another app which has a SharePoint backend that is now being utilized more within our company. You can join and create groups within Yammer where you can discuss work-related projects or non-work related subjects such as sharing photos and information about your pet(s).

Within SharePoint itself, you can create document Libraries which can double up as repositories which can be used in applications such as Repstor which is a 3rd party tool that plugs into Outlook and in doing so brings SharePoint into Outlook. By doing this, you can create folders within Repstor which then sync back to the SharePoint document library. You can then file emails into these folders and make this information shareable with other users by allowing them access to the repository.

SharePoint also allows you to set up email content types which extract the metadata from emails filed into SharePoint so that they are filed with the correct field names and those fields are populated. Doing this allows for much more efficient storage and searching.
