Advantages of Designing your Website on SharePoint *************************************************************************

In today’s business world, large corporations are now using SharePoint to create their company websites. SharePoint consultants all over the world work with different types of businesses, from the airline industry, to education, and heavy-engineering companies. SharePoint succeeds in developing their content-intensive webflow supported by the strong back-end of a SharePoint based CMS.

Designing your company website on SharePoint was not considered to be an option previously with earlier versions of SharePoint. This was associated with a lack of sophisticated UI/UX capabilities, along with other problems, like Search Engine Optimizations. With infinite designing

options and better on and off page optimization options, SharePoint 2013 onwards has been a tremendous surge in such website numbers.

Here are some reasons why SharePoint websites are popular:

1. Strong Content Management Background: SharePoint has the capacity to handle a large amount of data directly involved with the website. It keeps all the essential documents in one place and links it to a powerful collaborative platform as a foundation.

From a customer’s perspective, SharePoint provides the portal of organized data and knowledge bases required to handle your product.

For instance, an industrial battery manufacturing company which supplies batteries to clients across different sectors, have their customer service representatives record the requests on a SharePoint document.

The document is then linked to various other SharePoint documents. One of the applications is made available as the user manuals for the different sectors which are constantly being updated and freshly created in the background by various collaborative processes. It is also essential for processes that requires multiple approvals or workflows to be automated.

2. Customer Self Service: SharePoint helps companies save a lot of extra expenses by automating self-service right on the company website. This kind of self-service is powered by the automated workflow feature. This essentially simplifies complex problem-solving requirements into simple steps, each of them

being handled/allocated to a different owner. Eventually with the completion of each step, the complete workflow will automatically be completed by empowering your customers to complete their own requests saving redundant company expenses on mediatory functions.

3. Lesser Learning Curve: With the same infrastructure both in the background and front-end, your IT and non-IT staffs will already be used to using SharePoint as a technology. It will be less or a technological barrier for your company.

4. Integrated with your CRM SharePoint websites can easily combine with your existing CRM system.

This can be executed when your SharePoint is already connected with your database. It then develops processes and workflows right on your website that is powered by the rich CRM data, It integrates it to your existing business model right on your website.

5. License Convenience Anyone with a Microsoft agreement is immediately allowed to use SharePoint for

free

which will include using your
