Employees can now access files and communicate with each other in real-time, thanks to the cloud and Microsoft tools such as SharePoint and OneDrive. This can be done while still maintaining a secure environment. Now employees don't have to be at the mercy of traditional workplaces where they should be always at the office and work under the physical supervision of their managers.
Physical boundaries are no longer an issue. With the help of technology, people can now work anytime and anywhere, without needing to be in one central geographical location.
Here are some of the reasons how SharePoint and OneDrive are important when it comes to establishing a digital workplace:
* Effortless Collaboration
There is no need to wait for one to finish working on a file before putting his share. With the help of SharePoint, employees can access and modify documents, lists, and libraries at the same time. OneDrive enables people to share documents inside or outside the company in an exceptionally secure way. Employees can co-author files and collaborate on projects through deep office integration.
Also, you don't have to use your office desktop for this - you can use your mobile devices, such as tablets and smartphones, to do actual work.
* Communication Sites
SharePoint makes use of elegant and classy communication sites to let you reach a broader audience via a dynamic and pleasing environment. You can publish news on the communication sites, which will surface on SharePoint home in Office 365 and on the mobile version.
It only takes a few seconds to create these sites and you can easily configure the default web parts to suit your requirements. You can make use of multi-functional web parts, which include videos from Microsoft Stream channel, image gallery, and interactive Bing maps.
* All-hub Sites
The latest version of SharePoint will feature all-new hub sites which will enable you to organise your intranet easily. Associated sites will be brought together to refresh news and activity and also to simplify search and create cohesion with shared navigation.
* Power Apps
These apps make it easy for you to create custom forms for your list and library. You can make interactive and great-looking forms with minimal effort. This SharePoint feature helps in integrate the process seamlessly into your work.
