Microsoft SharePoint Intranet
It is a reality of our wired and connected world, that we are exposed to an ever greater weight of information than ever before. The difficulty is having to wade through material that is of little interest to us, to get to what is useful or important. And this is notably true for businesses who want to access their own internal information quickly and effectively. Particularly where a growing number of the workforce are on the move. The solution is to take a serious look at SharePoint – the intranet service from Microsoft.
What is SharePoint - At its most straightforward, SharePoint is a set of tools and resources that individuals and organizations can use to expand their knowledge, solve problems or improve their communication.
The logical starting point is to use it to build your organisations intranet. This will enable you to share information, issue company wide bulletins and announcements, share resources and documents and most importantly gain a real competitive advantage. Having the right information, in the right place - means that you and your team have your fingers on the pulse of business.
What is an Intranet - An Intranet is a web site devoted to your organisation and usually only available to your staff. It uses web technology.
Is SharePoint expensive - The good news is that the entry level for SharePoint is free. This is because it comes as part of some Microsoft bundles such as Small Business Server.
How we can help – More and more of our clients are realising the benefits that an effective intranet can bring. “Switching on” the software is in itself not too daunting. Making it all work, on the other hand, is the challenge. This is what we do to help configure SharePoint.
