SharePoint’s Tomorrow

Microsoft launched SharePoint in 2011 and it was looked upon only as storage system, and since then SharePoint has graduated to a point where it not only is a storage system, but it has become the backbone of major organizations with features ranging from browser-based collaboration to content and document management, web-based intranet working, and also enterprise information portal – these are just a few of the functionalities of SharePoint.

A lot of us are eager to see what Microsoft has in store for SharePoint tomorrow (i.e. the future).

Better file sharing

Striving towards better unification of intelligent document management with One Drive, Microsoft SharePoint users can now access their documents stored on Office 365 platforms and SharePoint Online libraries from the One Drive mobile app. Users can also move their documents from O365 to SharePoint Online with the One Drive app. What’s more, users can access files on any platform be it a mobile device, a laptop or even a Mac.

Team Sites + Office 365 Groups, and the SharePoint App

Microsoft has made an excellent move by collaborating the SharePoint Team sites and Office 365 Groups together ensuring a rise in productivity and team-based activities. This would primarily be helpful for teams that work across different time zones. With the announcement of the SharePoint mobile App, Microsoft has made the intranet to fit in to our pockets so that it could be carried everywhere. This app can provide access to apps, documents, people, sites to its users. This really makes the world and really, really small place.

SharePoint Framework

Developers can use the SharePoint Framework to create feature-rich, powerful client-side applications and web pages which can be accessed by default from the SharePoint mobile app. The SharePoint Framework can be used in conjunction with the latest tools and technologies that the developers rely on to create a compelling web experience for the customers; the applications which can be hosted on premise or on the cloud.

Integration with Microsoft Flow and PowerApps

Needless to say, Microsoft SharePoint can integrate with all the other apps of Microsoft and two of the most popular apps that will be used most frequently by enterprises are Microsoft Flow and PowerApps. With Microsoft Flow, users can import/export data, such as lists, between SharePoint and other products of Microsoft as well as other external applications.

PowerApps enables users to connect, create, and share apps with their team members on any platform within minutes. With PowerApps, users can integrate the data and lists from SharePoint, use it to create/update apps on-the-go and share the apps on any device.

Better Security

Microsoft has always ensured that the data and information of its clients and users be safe and no cyber miscreant should ever find it easy to break in to a Microsoft-protected system. With better IT controls and stricter policies, the users’ data is assuredly in safe hands.
