Creating, sharing & releasing content
– with SharePoint

Microsoft SharePoint is a platform engineered for collaboration and for exchanging information throughout the company. Its greatest strength lies in the flexible possibilities for storing structured data and for securing the data. 

In particular, the various versioning options should be mentioned here. The SharePoint server allows you to process information with the possibility to return to the starting point whenever you want.

Other assets of Microsoft SharePoint are the powerful search engine and the possibility to add meta data (additional keywords) to almost everything. These tools are necessary to easily track down the information provided. For this purpose, Microsoft offers a range of building blocks that can be combined in a way that is most useful for the task at hand.

Keep track of everything

SharePoint at a glance

E-mails keep flooding in. Chaotic information due to the lack of up-to-date data. Different levels of knowledge cause time-consuming coordination of your employees. Do you lack a complete overview and a central data management that really makes sense? Share and manage contents, specialized knowledge, and applications to increase efficiency, find information faster, and work together seamlessly.

Central document management (DMS)

SharePoint offers you a wide range of possibilities to store your collected documents centrally, to manage them or to archive them automatically, compliant to auditing requirements.  

Easy searching and finding

You can index your data by keyword and customize the search. This reduces your search times thanks to individual search or sorting filters and you can find your relevant data (e. g. documents, blog postings, content pages, etc.) in no time at all.

Data history/version control

All participants always have access to up-to-date data in SharePoint. This ensures a consistent knowledge level. You can activate the version history to trace changes.

Gathering and sharing knowledge

SharePoint is the ideal tool for storing the company’s knowledge centrally in one place. Instructions and field reports can be shared with the whole company with SharePoint. SharePoint comes with several content types for sharing information, like communication websites or blog posts.  

Create and edit together

You can share your data with others and work on it together as soon as you have saved it in SharePoint. You will improve the teamwork at the same time. In addition, you can assign individual access rights to users.

Smart connection to Microsoft Teams

SharePoint is the perfect basis for great collaboration, and it can be connected to Microsoft Teams. Whenever you generate a “Team”, a SharePoint site will also be generated where the documents of the respective team can be stored. SharePoint sites are also perfect for collaborating in small or in larger groups without Microsoft Teams.

Mobile access anywhere

Access your data independent of location, time, and device. All you need is an access to the Internet, or you use the mobile SharePoint app. You can finish work on your documents on several devices thanks to the smart Office integration.

Productive business processes

Optimize your processes – whether it’s short notifications, approvals, or other business workflows – with SharePoint lists and libraries or with the integration of other Microsoft tools.

Future security

You too can benefit from the continuous development by Microsoft, just like the more than 200,000 businesses and 190 million users that already use SharePoint.
