1. Why should I use SharePoint in my organization?
First of all, over three-quarters of Fortune 500 companies use SharePoint. Though
they do not use it for exactly the same purpose, it also proves the fact that the use of
SharePoint is versatile. The trickiest part to understand in SharePoint is that it is not
any one software product by the Microsoft. Rather, it is a platform which in-houses a
collection of software programs that are used differently by different organizations.
SharePoint is not something that you buy and install on your system but rather it is a
back-end control system that binds different computers of your employees and also
their mobile devices together. It binds the individual efforts into one collection and
allows a synchronization between all the individual efforts to be seen as one.
The motive behind the SharePoint development is to organize an enterprise or
company with thousands of employees in several locations in such a way that
irrespective of their location, they are all connected to each other like they are
working under the same office. It consists of a collection of several Web-Parts and
applications from the SharePoint development services that are used to organize the
work around any organization. Here are some ways organizations use SharePoint to
organize their working:

SharePoint as an intranet in the most popular use of SharePoint platform where
everyone from your organizations can sign in and find out all they are looking for
inside your organization. For examples, your employees with an access can find the
latest news, announcements, tasks, employee information etc.
Each employee is given with a dashboard which has an access defined according to
the level of access they are provided by the admin user. It can also be used as a tool

2. for social networking or discussion forums where the meetings and seminars can be
arranged successfully. SharePoint 2013 was launched with several such features that
we utilized by the users to organize their daily work environment irrespective of their
locations.
Document sharing and access:
Businesses can utilize SharePoint to share a space on the cloud to store documents so
that they are not bound to one's PC location or hard-drive. Documents that are stored
on the SharePoint platform can be accessed by anyone in the company with the types
of user level or access. This access can be limited to some specified group of
individuals too.
File sharing on SharePoint ensures that you don't have to travel all the way to the
multiple offices or wait for large emails to get some files you need for the task.
SharePoint allows you to collaborate with your co-workers and save a lot of time
wasted in searching for the required documents that you need for your task. The
version control is provided to track the updates done on a particular document. It
saves your time to create different versions and save it for later that is to be emailed to
the concerned destination.
Collaboration is easy with SharePoint:
Proper coordination between different sections of your organization is essential when
you expect your team to propel it terms of productivity and efficiency. The efficiency
of the individual workers can be accelerated when they work in collaboration with
other members of your project team. Dozens of people may sit in your office, but
without a proper control and coordination, they are all the individual workers who
don't seem to know what they are doing in your organization.
Let your employees sign into SharePoint from their desktops or mobile devices, and
you can use it to have a constant connection between your project associates and
coworkers. The resources required for the project can be easily accessed and shared
over this network, resulting in the faster processing of tasks assigned to them.
