Functionality: What does it do?

Having a simple, centralized system to manage, track, communicate, and report compliance program information can enable staff to complete required tasks, improve compliance performance, and support operational decision-making. Microsoft SharePoint® provides a powerful platform that helps organizations manage, share, and collaborate on documents and information to create operational efficiencies.

Implementing a system like this may seem overwhelming. One of the most difficult aspects can simply be determining how to get started. Starting small—with a single team or department—is often the best approach. Focusing on core SharePoint features, such as document management and lists, provides users with an easy to grasp introduction to the system. As comfort grows, SharePoint can then be expanded to support broader business processes and integrations with other Microsoft Power Platform® tools.

Benefits: Why do you need it?

SharePoint provides a simple, centralized solution for managing everyday business tasks using familiar technology. The platform gives users the opportunity to start small and build additional functionality and business efficiencies. For example:

  • Document management in SharePoint allows businesses to store, organize, and collaborate on files in a secure and centralized environment.
  • Lists function like spreadsheets or lightweight databases, ideal for tracking information, managing tasks, or logging activities.

Both of these features are “out of the box” functionalities of SharePoint that are easy to deploy and use, while delivering significant impacts to business efficiency and better control over business documents and data.
