Whatever industry you operate in, your company is sure to have critical information that needs to be secured, organized, and distributed. Typically, this information will come in the form of documents, making document management systems a key part of modern productivity solutions.
Does your company need help managing its documents? SharePoint consulting can help! Here are some of the advantages of using SharePoint and taking advantage of its consultation services.
Why SharePoint For Document Management?
If you’re not already using SharePoint for your enterprise content management (ECM) needs, you should strongly consider it. SharePoint was built from the ground up as the ideal content management service. Further, since it seamlessly integrates with the Microsoft Office suite and has online capabilities that allow you to render, visualize, and otherwise interact with data stored in documents, SharePoint is simply capable of a great deal more than other ECM platforms.
Released in 2001, SharePoint is the industry leader for document management platforms, not to mention a variety of other enterprise productivity solutions.By using SharePoint consulting you can learn how to take better advantage of many services, including those listed below.
The Core Document Management Features
As we mentioned previously, one of the major advantages of using SharePoint is that it’s automatically integrated with the Office suite. This includes integration with PowerPoint, Excel, Word, and more.
SharePoint’s document control system lets employees collaborate in a web-based environment. Having a web- or intranet-based service also provides better resource distribution for optimal system performance, document security, and system backup capabilities.
Migration is simple for companies looking to make the switch. Importing your existing documents, including documents saved in various file formats, is made simply by SharePoint’s migration systems. The migration and importing processes are private and secure.
SharePoint also offers advantageous remote access capabilities that allow employees to access documents from any location where they have internet access. However, you can still customize your permissions and access protocols, giving you control over where, when, and how employees access sensitive company data.
SharePoint’s document organization also comes with a variety of powerful social features that allow you to organize and spread information through community-based outlets. Furthermore, SharePoint maintenance can be made simpler and more cost-effective by hiring a consulting service to help you tune your system’s organization.
