Many companies are starting to embrace SharePoint because it offers a way to share documents, lists, links, and other information quickly and easily. Once installed, users can start using it with little help from IT because it has an easy out of the box interface. Most end users can figure out quickly that it’s like a file share, but really it’s much more than that. Users can share not only documents on the internet or intranet without relying on IT, but they can create customized databases, approval workflows photo libraries, surveys, and web pages with NO CODING, NO EXPERIENCE and NO WAITING ON IT to configure the page. In fact, once the SharePoint server and site collection are set up, the site collection administrator simply needs to create a site for the business unit and give them access, which takes only 5 minutes. Companies are realizing productivity increases and exponentially helping reduce the IT burden and bottleneck.
SharePoint is an easy win of flexibility, document sharing, and productivity enhancement. Most users can get free training online to learn the extended uses of the tool to help their companies save money and reduce wasted time with old processes of saving documents to a file share, emailing to share information and manually executing tasks (SharePoint has some customizable task automation called “workflows”).
