Personalization features play a crucial role when it comes to the intranet. You can configure your digital workplace and leverage simple integration of Active Directory profiles by using SharePoint as an intranet. With a modern intranet, by division, place, functions, or seniority level, you can target the content into various classes. This implies that it is possible to bring different personalized content targeting the individual workers together. In addition, the SharePoint intranet enables users to subscribe to several topics of interest.
- Excellent handling of documents
The compilation, storage, and dissemination of information and records depend on the majority of organizational performance. Some of SharePoint services’ key features are comprehensive document and library capabilities that help organizations achieve state-of-the-art information management, collaboration, and more. To provide easy access to information, the SharePoint libraries can easily be incorporated into your intranet. Not only are the capabilities limited to recording the lifecycle, but it goes far further.
