Microsoft continues to lead the way in helping organizations collaborate, share and communicate like never before.

One of the most common questions we hear is, “Should I use Microsoft Teams or SharePoint?”

We often hear from customers that are interested in using SharePoint to automate workflows. Not only can it be done, it can be done several ways. This blog will help you better understand how to automate workflows using SharePoint and the tools that you might consider.

SharePoint is a Microsoft application that delivers a robust collaboration and content management platform. SharePoint is scalable and provides organizations with the ability to manage content, drive business processes, and collaborate.

The Benefits of SharePoint Home Sites

We have been working with clients for many years to assist them in building an intranet experience that meets the needs of their users.

Sometimes, this work requires that our team build a new intranet from scratch, while other times, it’s modernizing a legacy intranet that no longer meets the needs of the users.
