SharePoint Primary Use Case

VW
Project Manager at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees

We collect the lists for enterprise infrastructure and application solutions by classifications, including app catalog, profile, inventory, and data. It is a secure place to store, organize, share, and access information from any device. 

SharePoint is a collaboration platform. It is designed to help organizations manage and share tasks more efficiently. SharePoint helps by providing a centralized platform for document management, team collaboration, and communication. With SharePoint Online, team members can access application inventory data from anywhere, facilitating remote work and improving productivity.

We primarily use it for multi-user collaboration on documents. It's great for storing and managing documents, and the access control features are essential for protecting sensitive information.

IT Manager at The Ventoulis Institute for Local Journalism

We just started using it. We use it for collaborating and sharing documents and files internally and externally. We also create sites for each department, and we also create directories. It's basically for collaboration and sharing files. If we need to send something to the entire organization, we send it to SharePoint. So, everybody has access to it.

We internally use SharePoint for all of our document management, and we integrate that with D365. We use CRM and SharePoint to manage our sales pipeline and all documentation related to Sales and subsequent projects are stored on SharePoint. We use the Power platform for certain workflows, for example, approvals of Business Proposals. 

We have created our own custom modules within D365 for our project billing.

I have been using SharePoint for over twelve years. 

It's a big solution comprising many services similar to an active directory installation with connections to Skype, Exchange services, metadata services and stuff like that, it can do basically everything you need in order to deliver something like a Twitter website or similar solutions. So I do not think that anything rivals SharePoint on the market. Maybe if a lot of effort is placed upon some WebLogic solutions, this may happen. But, this would need a lot of customizing.

RB
System Manager at a financial services firm with 11-50 employees

The use case is based on internal processes. We want a central place for storing data, documents, and user processes, to automate processes.

In this case, it's a financial program. All customers starting our financial program are automatically created on SharePoint. From there, all the documents that are related to each customer will be stored on SharePoint, and we then use it as a kind of a black box. You put everything in, you do not know where it is. Then we have other applications around it that give you information that you need. Or you can save it and, based on customer information or the kind of document, it knows where to store it on SharePoint.

We have a customized solution called TeamCenter. The technology behind it is SharePoint.

The use case is to distribute project mandates among team members, track and collaborate on the work that has been done. It creates the work breakdown, and assigns tasks, manages the workflow accordingly. We are able to check what is being done, who is been handling it, and where the workflow is at right now. It eases control, messaging, and provides a common view where we are at.

Compared to other products, SharePoint is not only a content manager, but a wider product, like enterprise content management. You can use multiple components in SharePoint. Moreover, SharePoint is already moving to cloud, if you are using SharePoint online, which is cloud-based technology, it is more accessible.
