In today’s competitive and dynamic business environment, our Business Intelligence team specialises in helping your systems work harder and smarter for you. We understand how to leverage technology to enhance collaboration, communication, productivity, and efficiency. One of the most overlooked tools we can recommend is having a good intranet and an excellent platform to help you achieve your goals is SharePoint, a cloud-based platform that offers a range of features and functionalities for creating and managing intranets.
An intranet is an internal website that serves as a hub for information, resources, tools, and applications for your employees. It can help you streamline workflows, improve knowledge sharing, engage your workforce, and foster innovation. However, not all intranets are created equal. You need a platform that is intuitive, easy-to-use, and can seamlessly integrate with your existing systems. That’s where our team at Focus IT and SharePoint comes in.
What’s more, SharePoint is an integral part of the Microsoft 365 suite, which means it can work well with applications you are most likely already using such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Teams, and Outlook. We can work with you to explain and select all the best customisation options suited for your business, allowing you to tailor your intranet to your specific needs and preferences. Moreover, SharePoint provides enterprise-grade security and compliance, ensuring that your data and documents are protected and regulated.
Here are some of the key benefits an excellent intranet can give your business:
Enhanced collaboration and communication: You can create team sites and project sites, where you can share documents, co-author content, track tasks, manage calendars, and communicate with your colleagues in real-time. You can also use SharePoint to create social features, such as blogs, chats, newsfeeds, and forums, to foster a sense of community and engagement among your employees.
Streamlined document management even remotely: We can create a hub to store, organise, and access your documents in a centralised location, with features such as version control, metadata, search, and workflows. You can also use SharePoint to create digital asset management, where you can manage and share multimedia files, such as images, videos, and audio. Furthermore, SharePoint enables you to sync your files across devices and access them offline, giving you more flexibility and mobility.
Increased productivity and efficiency: Automate and optimise your business processes, such as approvals, forms, reports, and notifications, using workflows and Power Automate. You can also use SharePoint to create dashboards and KPIs, where you can monitor and measure your performance and progress.
Reduce costs: Having a solid intranet in place with Sharepoint can help you reduce your operational costs and increase your return on investment, by eliminating the need for multiple platforms and tools, reducing paper usage and storage space, improving employee satisfaction and retention, and enhancing customer service and satisfaction.
Intranets may seem a forgotten tool but, when implemented correctly, they provide you with a comprehensive and holistic solution for your digital workplace, enabling you to improve your business performance and achieve your goals.
