3 Little-Known Uses for SharePoint Online

Most business owners know the power of SharePoint Online for team collaboration and document sharing. But did you know that there are many more uses for this vital part of the Office 365 Suite? Together with Vorsite and Microsoft, you can unlock the power of the cloud in three easy, timesaving ways.

Cut Down on Web Development Costs with SharePoint Online Websites

SharePoint Online is specifically designed to help small business owners streamline website creation, allowing them to focus on marketing their business to attract new customers. There are plenty of advantages to using SharePoint Online to build your own business website, including:

1. SharePoint Online websites are easy to set up and painless to maintain.
2. In addition to being public-facing, SharePoint Online websites have a truly professional appearance.
3. Choose the default custom URL for your domain, or use a different domain name you already own through the DNS settings built into Office 365.
4. Instantly add more resources like storage space with the click of a button.

SharePoint Online allows you to create professional websites that appear no different than websites other businesses waste countless time and money developing. If you're familiar with WordPress, Joomla, or any other content management system, you're already ready to take advantage of professional website development solutions from Vorsite, powered by SharePoint Online.

Streamline Company Updates and Information

If you're struggling to find an easy-to-use system for keeping your team up to date on company news and updates, SharePoint Online could be the perfect time management solution for your business. Intranet sites allow you to easily sort vital documents and employee information in a safe, accessible web environment. Using Intranet sites, you can also:

• Launch and participate in discussion forums
• Edit and view routine business operations
