You’ve done your due diligence in hiring the best and brightest employees that also fit your organisational culture. You’ve given them a modern space to work in (or the flexibility to work remotely). And you’ve even implemented relevant tools—including great collaboration software—so they’re able to work together seamlessly.

SharePoint is one of those collaboration tools organisations often feel they have to use because they’re already using other Microsoft products. And it makes sense—SharePoint naturally integrates with its sister solutions, and offers a ton of features that address a wide array of business challenges. But that doesn’t mean it’s a great fit for your organisation.

Every day, your workforce creates and references content to perform their job duties and keep the organisation on track for success. This content fuels business processes, informs safety practices, educates new hires, and more.

Before shared digital filing systems existed, companies were restricted to sharing files via email or hard copy. Paper systems require large amounts of physical space, which is why digital systems are so attractive. However, digital systems bring their own challenges.

Today, data is the great differentiator. Companies that collect and make effective use of data tend to have a competitive edge over those that do not. It only makes sense then that further refined data—information and knowledge—unlock additional value for organisations.
