As businesses grow, it is important to always research tools to help streamline processes and increase productivity. SharePoint is recognized as one of the best productivity tools on the market and many businesses are still not utilizing this tool to its full potential.
In a recent Technology Tell article, IT journalist Kayla Matthews explains how SharePoint helps improve your productivity and “provides businesses and teams with opportunities to thrive.”
Here are a few of her tips “for leveraging the system to improve efficiency within the workspace”:
- Centralize Any and All Essential Documents: “It’s important to allow employees and external users access to an organized folder at a central location.”
- Integrate Web Applications With Other Tools: “SharePoint can be made more user-friendly if its ability to sync with other programs and applications, like the Microsoft Office suite, is fully utilized for improvement.”
- Make Your Metadata Work for You: “SharePoint users should be empowered to keep this information up to date and well maintained because it allows the platform to better interpret the information contained within it.”
- Create SharePoint Networks With Clients: “Companies that service external users such as clients, vendors or customers may need to think about pushing the technology of SharePoint into these relationships.”
