You definitely need to have certain software processes running in order to mitigate your manual effort. There are numerous technologies prevailing which can provide you solution. But, you as a business owner will need “The Best” not just good. In my opinion the best technology option for a small business owner if prepared to invest in software would be SharePoint.
Now the question arises “What is SharePoint” and “Why SharePoint”. So let us discuss below.
What is SharePoint??
SharePoint is a software platform from Microsoft that helps users to:
• Create & manage intranet portals
• Manage document & files
• Search for info
• Collaborate within and outside of the organization
• Automate business process through workflows & electronic forms
• Have business intelligence through dashboards
• Have social network functionality within the company
• Have external websites
Now you must be wondering if it really does all that. The answer to it is YES.
This is how Microsoft explains SharePoint “Microsoft SharePoint 2010 makes it easier for people to work together. Using SharePoint 2010, your people can set up Web sites to share information with others, manage documents from start to finish, and publish reports to help everyone make better decisions.
The capabilities of SharePoint 2010 work together to help your company quickly respond to changing business needs. Using SharePoint 2010, your people can share ideas and expertise, create custom solutions for specific needs, and find the right business information to make better decisions. For IT, SharePoint 2010 helps you cut training and maintenance costs, save time and effort, and focus on higher business priorities. ”
