0

Technology upgrades and infrastructure deployments are common and essential for every business. However, the key to success is to ensure that the upgrades or deployments give an increased productivity and a higher ROI. Let?s take the case of the Microsoft SharePoint 2013, which is one of the best and the newest services offered by SharePoint Server. It comes with a range of multipurpose features that can function efficiently in a common infrastructure.

Now that you are probably here because you want to learn how SharePoint Server 2013 can help improve the productivity of your business, we would like to discuss in brief about some of the key benefits of the popular web app service.

Document Management
SharePoint workflow helps business collaborate documents thereby making it easy to manage project tasks more efficiently. You would have probably observed that uploading documents was not an easy task in the previous SharePoint version, as it involved quite a lot of ?awkward clicking?. However, SharePoint has introduced a new drag-and-drop feature to its latest version, making document management simpler and easier than before. The objective of this feature, offered in SkyDrive Pro, is to take your content offline and replace your existing SharePoint Workspace. So you can simply upload your documents at a simple click of the Sync button.   

User Interface
If you are an existing user of SharePoint 2010, then you will probably realize that SharePoint 2013 offers a far more sophisticated and a user-friendly interface. The complicated features like Site Actions have been knocked off and replaced by easy alternatives such as the ?Settings? icon.

The simpler and easy-to-use features make it more engaging and interesting for both SharePoint 2013 users and businesses.

Social Computing
The newly improved social capabilities of SharePoint 2013 deserve more appreciation. The enhancements include Community Sites, Interactive Feeds, Follow Sites, and more. All of these facilitate better collaboration with employees, and thus create a highly scalable social working environment.
