SharePoint offers great flexibility, yet many users face challenges finding files, adding content, and navigating through a confusing interface. The ability to create unlimited pages often results in chaos rather than efficiency.

Flexibility That Leads to Chaos

While some issues can be reduced by having an administrator, good structure is crucial for maximizing SharePoint's potential. A clear structure makes it easy for users to find the right location for files and to know which version is current. Without structure, daily tasks become inefficient and confusing.

SharePoint can be tailored to your company's needs through customization, but this often involves high costs and time-consuming implementation. Additionally, future updates from Microsoft can create maintenance and stability challenges, resulting in increased costs and reduced productivity.

Security Risks of Third-Party Systems

Many companies choose SaaS integrations within SharePoint to address specific requirements. This often means data is stored in the vendor’s cloud instead of your company’s own Microsoft 365 solution. Consequently, you lose control over your data and face increased risks of data leaks and security breaches.

Although document storage in SharePoint is safer than traditional file servers, companies rarely leverage the full potential of the platform. The result is often an expensive version of the file server you intended to replace. If you're making a change, choose a solution that delivers real efficiency instead of merely shifting old problems to a new platform.

Business Online closely follows Microsoft’s developments, removing concerns related to maintenance and future updates. The solution is scalable and continuously evolves according to your company's needs, ensuring increased efficiency and robustness for future growth.
