Microsoft SharePoint is an enterprise-grade business collaboration and content management platform. It is a top choice of many Australian organisations for digitising their workplace. It is widely used for document and content management, records management, business process automation, staff onboarding, ticketing system and many other custom applications. It is available on-premises, cloud, or hybrid setup, providing organisations with deployment flexibility. 

Because of SharePoint's flexibility and customisability, the construction industry is able to use it for the following use cases:

• Project schedule and reports. 
• Trade knowledge base.
• Safety messages and alerts. 
• Equipment or subcontractor registers. 
• Site Diary.
• Site Induction. 
• Staff Directory. 
• Drawing Versioning.

SharePoint has version control, allowing people to see modifications done by whom and when. It also has real-time collaboration and co-authoring that enables people to edit the same document at the same time. More importantly, it has a powerful search capability that lets you find the information that you need in seconds!

Anyone implementing SharePoint should have the right set of administration and development skills. Embarking on a SharePoint project without a good technical understanding of the platform may result to a failed project, increased rework costs, or inability to fully maximise its potential.

We highly recommend working with a SharePoint Development partner like Professional Advantage with in-depth experience, proven methodologies, and referenceable clients to ensure the success of your project.
