Why SharePoint?
Why SharePoint? (Intranet portal, DMS & Process Automation) It is important for an organization and how this will help an organization in a better position in terms of collaboration within employees. Usually, in a bigger size organization, employees will not know what's happening in the other country/branches even other departments. Sometimes employees not even know some of the departments as exist. users come to the office to do their regular duty and leave the office. The main advantage of the Intranet Portal is a Single workspace for an entire organization in terms of Information sharing.
There are many tools available in the market for collaboration. However, one of the best suitable software is SharePoint. The reason why I suggest SharePoint is, this software is not only for collaboration, it includes content and collaboration, workflow automation.
Intranet portal in SharePoint it not rocket science. Yes, obviously for the Initial configuration you require IT help to setup. Once everything is fine, as a business user they can create their own Sites for their department and Share content between the employees. The movement they create sites and share the content, by default the collaboration has enabled in your organization, however in-order to represent better look and feel, you need a design expert to give an elegant look and feel to your portal.
When you want to promote portal inside your organization, you must do internal marketing and moreover try to build some important application using SharePoint like leave or expense approval, SharePoint has an inbuilt powerful workflow engine. Which run the workflow automation for all your approval process within your organization.
