Microsoft has released a slew
of new upgrades to their SharePoint and OneDirve services over the past few
months. The new improvements assist enterprises that already utilize Office 365
and its features including SharePoint. Some of the enhancements are a new
SharePoint framework, Microsoft Flow integration, and the addition of a Sharepoint
mobile app for iOS. All of these improvements help employees work faster and
smarter than they have before.
Microsoft SharePoint is a web based collaboration
and document management platform, which allows enterprises to host files,
manage documents, and collaborate on projects. SharePoint’s ability to store,
archive, and manage documents while also allowing workers to collaborate on a
document in real time gives the application a flexibility to fit any
enterprises needs. One of the new updates is the addition of Microsoft Flow to
SharePoint online. Microsoft Flow is an application, which automates workflows
and makes managing information much easier because the application cooperates
with Microsoft and many third-party applications.
SharePoint’s OneDrive Online Document Libraries
Every business needs a place to securely store their
documents online and SharePoint provides a central location for workers to
share, store, and collaborate on documents called OneDrive for business. Much
like OneDrive, which is Microsoft’s personal cloud storage services, OneDrive
for business is a cloud storage system but instead of being managed by an
individual it is maintained by an organization. Microsoft even allows a user to
transfer documents from their personal OneDrive account to their OneDrive for
business account.

SharePoint Framework
SharePoint Framework allows developers to create
powerful applications creating a robust user experience. The platform leverages
a new page structure called SharePoint Page. The page structure gives
developers the ability to build from the client-side and has some great
features like hosting web parts and add-ins while being technologically
independent. The whole purpose of SharePoint Framework is usability and Jeff
Teper, corporate VP for Microsoft’s SharePoint and OneDrive for Business,
conveyed this best when he said, “I think you'll see a simple user experience [and] we will have an
extensibility model. The goal is not to have somebody have to read 1,000-page
how-to program in a SharePoint book.” Microsoft has made an effort in recent
months to make enterprises have simple and seamless experiences with their
applications and services.
SharePoint Mobile
For any business that wants convenience, a
mobile application in today’s world is a necessity. Microsoft’s mobile
application offers users the ability to enter portals, access content, and
collaborate with coworkers. Sharepoint is connected through Office 365 so it
always on a user’s desktop, while OneDrive for Business is integrated into the iOS
app. Both applications allow an employee to always be available, which creates
a more productive business. The app also comes with Microsoft Graph technology,
which connects SharePoint Online and Office 365.

Businesses are constantly looking to make
their workers more efficient and open. Microsoft is always adding new features
to their services and interpreting and predicting the needs of their customers.
SharePoint and OneDrive are great examples because they are built with business
demands in mind. In the future, Microsoft
is adding Webhooks into SharePoint, custom sites on the SharePoint Framework,
and the sites API on Microsoft Graph.
All of these new components will make their
applications more efficient and seamlessly help a business. SharePoint delivers
workers a central location to communicate with their coworkers, produce
content, and accept tasks. Sharing content online in a secure environment has
become an important aspect of any business. OneDrive for Business allows
organizations to control their employees’ capability to contribute to the
documents in the library. Microsoft creates applications and services that
better enterprises by improving the technology people use everyday.
