Abstract:

The article analyses the Microsoft SharePoint Online platform and its capabilities. This paper also provides outstanding features as well as significant benefits of the implementation of SharePoint Online in New Zealand small and medium enterprises to increase their productivity. The processing of data has become increasingly necessary since the businesses have to challenge with the fierce global competition. Being able to use information systems to outperform the competition adds a competitive advantage and ensures the sustainable growth. SharePoint Online, a collaborative platform, can do a great deal to boost the business through optimise activities and streamline processes. This is not only a document management and storage system, but it is a powerful tool to work collaboratively and analyse an organisation's data. Additionally, Office 365 is fully-integrated with this solution. However, the implementation has to overcome certain requirements to take full advantage of its benefits.
