SharePoint Online is a cloud-based platform for file sharing and document collaboration with colleagues, clients, and partners. Part of the Microsoft 365 online suite, SharePoint Online allows seamless collaboration and offers a variety of features designed to help you communicate and work with your team efficiently.
SharePoint replaces your traditional file servers. In the past, a file server was the only way to guarantee data security, access permissions, and file backups. However, in today’s remote first world, centralized file servers are a roadblock to productivity. You can easily access your SharePoint files anywhere you have an internet connection and with the speed of the cloud.
What Are The Primary Features Of SharePoint Online?
Cloud document and file storage
Enjoy the freedom of accessing your files in the cloud from anywhere in the world without requiring a VPN. Whether you have an internet connection or are working on the go, SharePoint Online provides you with the tools you need to stay connected to your files.
Document collaboration
Create, update, and revise documents with your colleagues, both within and outside your corporate network. The advanced document collaboration features of SharePoint Online allow multiple people to work simultaneously within the same document or spreadsheet.
Advanced security management
SharePoint Online is designed with advanced security features in mind. Multiple layers of security protect your data from unauthorized access while allowing simple file sharing.
Mobile capabilities
Stay connected and in the know wherever you are. With SharePoint Online you can easily access your files from any web-enabled device or mobile phone.
What does it take to make the switch to SharePoint Online?
A migration from a traditional network file server to SharePoint Online requires a detailed analysis of your existing data, file shares, and user permissions.
We start by reviewing your current infrastructure and sorting out what data needs to be migrated. Then, we create an efficient plan to move your data to your new SharePoint Online platform.
When we finish the data migration, we test all the different features to make sure that nothing has been lost or changed. We can also create custom portals, modify permissions, and set up collaboration features to automate file sharing with your team members, customers, and partners during this process.
Once complete, we offer a quick start training session with you and your staff. We cover SharePoint Online functionality, sharing files, document collaboration, syncing data to your local computer with One Drive and more.
How much does SharePoint Online migration cost? What are the factors involved?
The cost of your migration is based on a variety of factors. The project size, your data type, the accessibility and amount of documents and files, and the number of team portals that you’ll be migrating all help determine your project cost.
