Fuel hybrid work with Microsoft SharePoint
With hybrid work as the new normal, employees need access to their important files anytime, anywhere, and on their favourite devices to stay efficient and productive. Relying on on-premises file shares and personal shared drives for managing and accessing documents won’t cut it anymore.
Not only does it cause document sprawl and confusion, but your business must also consider its compliance requirements, collaboration needs, security concerns, integration with other apps, and more. The most effective way to manage your files and secure your documents while fuelling hybrid work is by having a document management system (DMS) powered by SharePoint on Microsoft 365.
SharePoint: The Best Platform for Document Management
What makes SharePoint a top choice for managing documents in small to large organisations, and how can your business benefit from it?
Empower Remote Collaboration
Provide a single place for your users to store, share, and collaborate on files wherever they are.
Using familiar office and productivity tools in Microsoft 365, a SharePoint DMS can enable multiple users to collaborate on documents simultaneously and in real time. You don’t have to dig deep into nested folders to search or connect to a VPN to access files. A SharePoint DMS is accessible in the cloud and uses your keyword searches to surface file names, metadata, content, and phrases.
Enforce Data Security and Stay Compliant
SharePoint Online has built-in security features for:
- Version tracking so you can always revert to previous document versions.
- Audit trail to discover who and what changes were made to which documents.
- Two-factor authentication via Microsoft 365 to authenticate the user’s identity.
- Retention and deletion policies to control how long you keep your data and where and how long it is stored.
- Sensitivity labels to categorise and encrypt documents.
- Permission-based access to classify users as visitors, members, owners, or admins.
Automate forms and workflows
Save time by automating document creation, routing, approvals, signatures, and feedback with SharePoint’s built-in workflows.
Leveraging its out-of-the-box forms, you can also switch from manual and paper-based to modern online forms to streamline and simplify your document management processes.
You can utilise low-code Power Apps and Power Automate for more complex processes.
