Transforming SharePoint
Solutions with AI

Intranet function issues are common across various industries. Whether it’s within real estate, healthcare, or finance, an intranet is fundamental tool for ensuring privacy and compliance. As a private web-based network that is only accessible to a company’s staff, the tool in question can be leveraged for many necessary functions and features within a business.

According to a Forrester Total Economic Impact study, organizations using SharePoint have seen a 15-20% improvement in collaboration and productivity. By housing documents, company news and updates, and other internal information, businesses require a solution that can integrate easily, ensure data security, have remote and mobile access, and the ability to grow with a company. This is where Microsoft SharePoint comes in.

What is SharePoint?

Microsoft SharePoint, as a platform, is built to empower companies to create robust private online networks for their organizations. It is easily integrated within all of Microsoft Office software offerings and allows different teams and departments to seamlessly share and manage internal documents and information.

SharePoint allows companies to streamline processes, improving output and dialogue between employees. This is possible through functions such as document and content management, workflow automation, and granular security control capabilities offer benefits that make the lives of CEOs, CIOs, and CTOs easier.

That said, as technology continues to improve, cutting-edge features are sought out and desired. This is why SharePoint has enabled the implementation of dynamic Artificial Intelligence (AI) solutions – to go beyond the out-of-the-box capabilities.

AI Features on Microsoft SharePoint

As a leading software company, Microsoft recognizes the increase in demand for AI features that enhance user experience and productive capacity of a business.

SharePoint Stream Webpart

Visual transformation tools, like SharePoint Stream Webpart, are used to upload and share videos within an organization’s intranet, adding a visual resource for all staff. AI assists in making this tool more robust by enhancing video search capabilities, automatically generating video captions, content recommendations, video analytics and insights, and smart security measures. These features improve how information is disseminated within a company, allow easier access to training videos, relevant department content, and storage of video-based projects. Additionally, just like other Microsoft tools, SharePoint Stream allows for managers to control who has access to view videos, preventing mix ups between departments.

Microsoft Copilot Integration with SharePoint

Microsoft Copilot integration with SharePoint enhances productivity by automating tasks like making documents, improving AI ability to interpret and generate human language, and forecasting. With Power Automate, it streamlines workflows, improves real-time translation, and strengthens security with AI-driven threat detection. Copilot also ensures compliance with regulatory standards and offers customized user experiences based on preferences. Copilot's integration with SharePoint means organizations can develop more efficient teams, better protect company information, and provide the platform for continued learning and growth on their digital workplaces.

AI Search Integration with Azure AI Search

Azure AI Search makes content easier to search and find within the intranet created with SharePoint. It uses advanced AI algorithms to make the efficiency and accuracy of searches better. Azure AI Search can also take user questions, behaviors, and language patterns to make suggestions that improve the user experience by not needing users to be hyper-specific with their search, reducing time and frustration.

Real-Time Coauthoring Tools for SharePoint

Teamwork is very important to a successful business, which is why SharePoint can use AI to enable real-time coauthoring tools. Multiple team members can simultaneously work on documents, spreadsheets, presentations and other types of projects, getting the job done quicker and more efficiently. The AI integrated into SharePoint can track changes and synchronize edits across devices in real-time, so the project is continuously updated and all collaborators are in the know.
