By integrating SharePoint Online and Office 365, Microsoft counts on endless opportunities with the most widely used collaborative platform that empowers document management, IT support, team collaboration, financial reporting, internet portals, project management and much more. The only problem that we see is very few organisations are taking time to leverage the Office 365 features that they already have!

In this blog, we have listed some of the best integration features that you would benefit by using SharePoint Online. Let’s have a look!

1. Office 365 Groups

The capability of Office 365 Groups is a fantastic tool compared to other messaging applications. Using Groups will improve your team collaboration facilitating edit, view and sharing groups files, planning team meetings ad a lot more.

2. Microsoft Flow

Let’s not forget the capabilities offered by Microsoft Flow. Thanks to Microsoft for its interactive code-free solution that integrates hundreds of third-party alternatives such as Zendesk, Twitter, Facebook, Salesforce, SharePoint, Dynamics CRM, etc. Microsoft Flow provides end-users with a full user experience by simply connecting and linking workflows for the company.

3. External User Access

Allowing external access in SharePoint Online no longer a time-consuming inconvenience. SharePoint Online enables you to share sites to your external users with comfort. All you have to do is to link a Microsoft account to your contact’s email address or make guest links for letting users to access individual files, folders and SharePoint sites without any trouble.

4. Mobile Experiences

If we talk about the native mobile experiences, the recently introduced layout enables rich text, videos, pictures, highlighted content, news, customised dashboards, recent site activities — which provides a mobile-responsive content display. The SharePoint Mobile version used to be a poor option as it lacked responsive design earlier. To get more work, you can access SharePoint anytime, anywhere and stay associated with your team remotely done in no time.

5. Power BI

Inserting your Power BI report to your SharePoint Page? Amazing, isn’t it? You can display charts, KPIs, dashboards and reports to your SharePoint Page easily. This will avoid separate logins for your operators to access Power BI for the dashboards. And what is the best part about it? Get your SharePoint List data integrated with Power BI dashboard for a real-time reporting experience instead of importing data to populate the data over and over again.
