Improving collaboration and communication is a goal for virtually all organisations – there are always opportunities to improve the flow of communication between and across teams.
As a leading collaboration solution, Microsoft SharePoint provides a number of features and functions that combine to improve collaboration and break down the silos that exist within many organisations.
When implementing SharePoint we find our customers often come back to two key objectives: achieving findability and ensuring integrity. How can we create, classify and store information so that it can be easily retrieved? And how do we ensure that the information we do find is correct, up to date and gives users confidence?
