Product Details

What is SharePoint?

MS SharePoint / SQL refers to Microsoft Sharepoint, a web-based collaborative platform, being used in tandem with Microsoft SQL Server to provide business intelligence analytics and reporting. They can provide BI content such as data connections, reports, scorecards, dashboards, and more.

With Sharepoint, users can share files, data, news, and resources. Sites can be customized to streamline teams’ work. Team members can collaborate inside and outside the organization, across PCs, Macs, and mobile devices.

Sharepoint also supports the ability to discover data, expertise, and insights to inform decisions and guide action. SharePoint’s content management features, along with connections and conversations surfaced in Yammer, enable organizations to maximize their velocity of knowledge.

Users can also accelerate productivity by transforming processes—from tasks like notifications and approvals to operational workflows. With SharePoint lists and libraries, Microsoft Flow, and PowerApps, they can create digital experiences with forms, workflows, and custom apps for every device.

  • business process creation (small scale). we are able to build some pretty excellent small scale processes on an ad-hoc basis that keep us from having to buy larger tools that have overkill functionality for what we need.
  • Permission controlled document system. We have a Documentum system that is a pain for general collaboration. We are able to use SharePoint as a buffer to get actual work done and keep company confidential and context confidential information under control.
  • We use it also as a communication tool based on the outcomes of business processes that are built in Lists, Calendars, and Libraries.

  • With the built-in connections to PowerApps, we've created simple mobile apps to streamline productivity and requests.
  • Using the built-in connection to Flow, you can automate business processes and connect to hundreds of other systems, logically passing data back and forth for multiple line-of-business applications.
