SharePoint is a collaboration platform that has been around for many, years. It is a repository/one-stop-shop for collaboration and content sharing within Southwest Airlines. Primarily it is used for document storage (SharePoint has amazing document management capabilities). But you can use it to organize other types of content (news, events, tasks, etc.). Moreover, SharePoint integrates well with other Office 365 apps, like Flow and PowerApps. In other words, SharePoint can be your repository for all the content within an organization.
What SharePoint is intended for:
- Storing departmental group documents and data.
- Content is more permanently stored with organization in mind. Content is updated less frequently.
- Fully IT or department-owner managed.
- Most control over permissions, sharing, and security controls.
- Integration with SharePoint Hub Sites, Communication sites, external sharing.
- Most complexity and most amount of total content.
- Application integration for company approved apps (Ex: approval workflows, etc…).
What SharePoint is not intended for:
- External audio/video communications, including calls to/from landlines and cell phones.
- External sharing and co-editing of personal or channel files.
- Active team/project collaboration
Note: Additional Microsoft SharePoint features and capabilities, such PowerApps and PowerAutomate, may be made available at a future date.
Currently, the SharePoint intranet is in development. We anticipate a rollout to production in Q3.
