SharePoint

Description: Microsoft SharePoint collaboration software is emerging as one of the more powerful tools for companies that need to design and implement enterprise-scale solutions to meet business-critical needs, such as managing content, administering business processes and streamlining how people find and share information across the network. The SharePoint system is composed of a full range of applications and tools that allow document management, workflow design and collaboration, which helps teams stay connected and productive by providing easy access to the people, documents, and information that can help in decision making and getting work done.

With the use of SharePoint activities, organizations have the power to automate all SharePoint business and IT processes on a single platform. Native SharePoint support delivers a comprehensive automation solution, enabling businesses to integrate SharePoint with disparate applications across their network. Pre-built SharePoint activities and drag-and-drop interface automate the management and administration of SharePoint users, sites, libraries, workflows, and lists. With SharePoint activities, you can:

Implement code-free SharePoint automation
Save time uploading or downloading files to SharePoint sites
Eliminate latency, errors, and operational costs
Retrieve and control SharePoint workflows
Manage SharePoint users and groups
Check files in and out automatically
