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.

HR, Finance, IT, Sales, Marketing, Lab, Production - basically anyone who touches a document on their computer. Practically everyone. There is also integrated company stats and news that is shared via SharePoint. We also have different groups of users who have specific line-of-business applications built on SharePoint. And then there are cross functional teams that use SharePoint for specific projects managing tasks, their project calendar, project files, etc.

Most of the teams that use MS SharePoint do so for internal purposes. Many of the sales teams additionally use the tool for external purposes when needing a secure means of sharing data with customers that can be easy for the customer via a simple link, but also has access control specifications (e.g., only some people for a certain length of time, etc.) that ensure the data is secure and that access is limited.

Information Technology, Human Resources, and Project Management functions are the key functional areas that comprise the user base. There may be other functions, but these are the most important ones to our organization.

Everyone in our company uses SharePoint in one capacity or another. The heaviest users are IT and HR. HR in particular uses SharePoint for tracking purposes (surveys, lists, forms) and to provide employees with self-service tools to find the information they need.
