Reduce multi-cloud services complexity/dependency
Today, 90% of companies have embraced a multi-cloud strategy, according to the Flexera 2022 State of the Cloud Report. Opting for a multi-cloud approach brings undeniable benefits, giving companies the flexibility to optimize performance, avoid vendor lock-in, and use best-in-class solutions. However, as companies expand their cloud app suppliers over time, it introduces challenges and complexities—particularly in terms of security, data protection, and identity management.
Discover how to alleviate multi-cloud complexities by leveraging SharePoint Online, your existing high-end app platform
SharePoint Online is widely adopted by companies and organizations for a range of scenarios. It often begins with the creation of an intranet, providing a centralized hub for information dissemination, including telephone directories, news, announcements, company divisions, and staff profiles. As the usage evolves, SharePoint is frequently extended to facilitate project-related document storage, fostering collaboration within teams. It is also commonly utilized for managing simple form-based processes such as vacation or travel requests.
However, numerous SharePoint implementations encounter challenges at this juncture. These challenges stem from SharePoint’s inherent complexity, a lack of user acceptance, or a combination of both. Nevertheless, SharePoint holds immense potential.When properly configured and deployed, SharePoint Online serves as an exceptionally stable and flexible platform that could extend beyond the aforementioned applications.
