O365: The Advantages of Teams and SharePoint for Business

O365: The Advantages of Teams and SharePoint for Business




Business and management are stressful enough without having to worry about where to store or file a communication, or worse still trying to remember where you stored the communications you had last week.

It gets worse when you are part of a team and you need to know where everyone else is filing relative data. 

How long does it take to message or email a colleague to ask if they know who said what to a customer yesterday, or last month? 
How long does it take to get your reply?

It's not difficult to ensure that all communication is captured and catalogued to make sure that every team member has the full and current picture.

Store and Catalogue Using Office 365

  1. Data can be stored in SharePoint Lists. These are simple to create and use.
  2. Documents can be stored in SharePoint Libraries. Providing fast, secure access to communication
  3. Data from SharePoint Lists can be linked to SharePoint Libraries to ensure accurate data usage.
  4. Documents and data can be uploaded to Office 365 to make sure that everyone had the latest information at all times.
  5. Deploy List and Library View pages in Teams to focus both team and individual effort on maximum achievement.

Manage Security Simply and Effectively

Document access is handled at file owner level with options to leave unshared, share with view only or share with edit rights.
Adding users to a Team grants general access rights to items in Team libraries, but these can be overridden where necessary.
Last modified by user ID is always recorded and versioning means that document files can be rolled back to previous versions where necessary.

Powerful Workflow Management

Administrators and supervisors can see who last updated an item and when this was done. Well structured Lists and Libraries will also show how long an item has been with the current owner.
GDPR, PECR and data protection is also accommodated with visibility on item creation date and time, plus the facility to set full 'time - to - live' policies at List and Library level.

Find it when you need it.

Use SharePoint search when you need to locate a document or file. So easy to know what a customer or client has been offered or promised when all the data is there at your finger tips. Works on mobile devices too.

O365: SharePoint Searching in Office 365 and Teams

 O365: SharePoint Searching in Office 365 and Teams See also -  Other Office 365 Posts Earlier posts have discussed the huge advantages of centralising documents, files and communications in SharePoint and Office 365. One of the strongest functions in Office 365 is the ability to search all content so that locating data is easy. However, the search tools in Office 365 are not always obvious. Teams Search Teams is becoming really popular, not least due to the fact that it makes SharePoint very easy to deploy, use and control. At the top of each Teams General Tab is a search box This is multi function. Type / into the box and you will see a list of commands that will perform all sorts of Teams functions    The /Files option will return files you have recently accessed. Great, if the file or document you are looking for is actually in the recent file list. What if the information you require is in an older file, or in a different location? Location Search Also in Teams ...

O365: Mobile Apps - the easy way

 O365: Mobile Apps - the easy way See also -  Other Office 365 Posts Anyone following these posts will now know how easy it is to create data stores in SharePoint for documents and files and for listing data, such as customer details. We've also looked at making this data easily findable, how to flag items for the attention of individuals and teams within the Office 365domain and moving work through the system in a controlled manner. We've also seen how we can access this content when away from the office via mobile apps for Teams, SharePoint and OneDrive. Occasionally the standard apps aren't really convenient and fail to lend themselves to mobile use. I'm thinking here of functions like stock lists, customer contact lists and the like, when the standard app delivers too much detail for a small screen, or where links and buttons are small and difficult to use. For these functions it would be better to deploy an app that is designed for fast, effective use on a mobile. ...

O365: Getting the best out of SharePoint

O365: Getting the best out of SharePoint See also - Libraries , Lists , Linking List and Library Simplicity Anyone who has read my earlier posts on creating, populating and joining data containers like Libraries and Lists in Office 365 SharePoint will know how simple it is. Giving a little thought to what data or information you want to keep and what you will use it for in the future is the hard part. Once you have that, building the lists and libraries is as easy as creating a spreadsheet.  But, a SharePoint list or library is far more flexible and effective than a spreadsheet can ever be. Shadow IT This is the name given by IT departments to the practice of hiving off chunks of corporate data into silo data stores controlled and maintained by individuals. A mobile phone contacts list is a great example. The same data might be held in a dozen or more separate phones and the data might never be synchronised. Personal spreadsheet lists can fall into the same category. Data from any ...
