Need a safe space to store and share your files? What about collaborating with internal and external teams? These are common business needs your team is likely facing right now. And if your organisation already subscribes to the Microsoft ecosystem, your first instinct is to check for sister products that can address these needs.

Every day, information moves throughout your organisation—between customers and employees, between employees and vendors, among employees themselves, and so on.

As a manager, it’s your job to handle a broad range of issues that affect your workforce—engagement, morale, turnover, and communication, among others. But all these issues are part and parcel of an even greater challenge: Employee productivity, the amount of work your team produces in a given time period.

Every day, your employees complete countless workflows that keep the organisation moving forward. While these workflows tend to stay the same for long periods of time, it’s often beneficial to review them to ensure they’re still properly supporting key business processes and furthering organisational goals. Enter workflow management.

Business experts go back and forth about workflow vs. process in the same manner as the classic chicken vs. egg debate—which is derived from which? Does one depend upon the other, or are they equally important? What’s the importance of distinguishing between the terms workflow and process?

As technology evolves, so does the concept of workplace efficiency. More and more robust digital tools have created new ways of working and significantly increased productivity levels.

Some people talk about organisational culture as an ethereal concept. They know it exists, but believe it isn’t tangible enough to have any significant impact on their daily work life or the company’s success.

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.
