SharePoint Online is an important part of Microsoft 365. It provides a solid foundation for Microsoft Teams, intranets, document management and content management systems. With the arrival of Modern SharePoint, the ease of use has improved considerably. In this blog I will take you through the possibilities of Modern SharePoint Services.
Modern SharePoint versus Classic SharePoint
Microsoft introduced Microsoft SharePoint (classic variant) in 2001. It has provided a large part of the business community with a powerful collaboration platform for over 20 years.
With the introduction of Modern SharePoint, Microsoft has given a SharePoint a major upgrade. This upgrade is based on a completely new architecture. We have listed the most important benefits for you:
Responsive : the displayed information automatically scales to the screen size of each device (laptop, tablet or smartphone). Moreover, you have access to all functionality from any device.
Look & feel : The appearance looks modern, fresh and user-friendly. You can also easily apply your own house style (colors and logo).
Improved architecture : better performance, faster and lazy load (displaying web parts when scrolling).
Intuitive to use : It offers you a modern experience and allows you to easily and quickly build a good looking intranet page or collaboration environment with the desired look & feel by the editor himself. Because of the user-friendly functionality and modern look & feel, employees work pleasantly and quickly with Modern SharePoint. It therefore has a high adoption rate.
Hub sites : Modern SharePoint allows you to turn a communication site or a team site into a hub site. This is the highest level of a collection of sites and provides you with a unified top navigation. This simplifies the navigation for employees and you organize the site based on, for example, projects, departments or regions.
Social Interaction : Modern SharePoint provides rich social interaction capabilities, such as commenting with mentions.
Statistics : Insight into unique visitors, total number of visitors and site traffic.
Extensive integration options : Of course, Modern SharePoint is seamlessly integrated with Microsoft 365 and offers integration with various apps. This is continuously being expanded.
