Collaboration & content management platform

About Microsoft SharePoint

SharePoint is a web application platform that offers a set of tools to provide intranet portals, document and file management, collaboration and social networks. As an enterprise information portal, SharePoint allows users to create a centralized, password protected space for document sharing.

Organizations use SharePoint to create websites. It can be used to store, organize, share & access information from almost any device; all that's needed is a web browser. Previously an internal content management product, Microsoft SharePoint now features web content management capabilities for the management of external website content. Designed to enhance user-productivity, SharePoint supports features such as notifications and approvals, plus lists and libraries.

Deep integration with Office allows users to start co-authoring a document on one device and finish co-authoring it on another. Users can then can select from a variety of tools to annotate, highlight, and comment on it. Find any file quickly with powerful search and discovery tools, and then get intelligent insights about it, such as how many people viewed or shared it.

SharePoint powers sharing and collaboration on the intranet. Users can broadcast their message and drive communications or share resources and news with their teams and organization, as well as build sites and portals that engage people, connecting them to expertise, content, actionable insights and collective knowledge. Drive organizational efficiency by sharing applications that streamline processes, and build communities of interest or practice.

    My overall experience with Sharepoint is positive. We use it to update APD client information for AL. It helps track behaviors, meds, and medical appointment data.

    Pros

    I liked being able to update each clients information for quick access to it. I also like that a team can sign in and update accordingly. Being able to transfer data from Sharepoint to Excel for behavior graphing is great

    Cons

    Sometimes I had to reload the landing page to acess sub menus.

    We switched from Google Docs to Microsoft SharePoint and haven't looked back. It is has been a much better choice for our company. It feels more seamless and organized.

    Pros

    I like that Microsoft SharePoint allows the company to view, share and edit documents.

    Cons

    I find that most of the things that were difficult for us in Microsoft SharePoint is user error more than the product itself.
