Why Microsoft SharePoint? What is Microsoft SharePoint? Common Use Cases & Business Outcomes SharePoint: Connected Across The Microsoft Ecosystem Why CPS?

Your Information Should Work As Hard As Your People

Every organisation holds enormous amounts of valuable knowledge. Documents, Policies, Procedures, Project information, Customer information, Reports, and Organisational expertise. But when information is scattered across folders, emails, Teams conversations and legacy systems, finding the right information can become a job in itself.

Build a connected digital workplace where people can find information, collaborate securely and access the knowledge they need to work effectively. Microsoft SharePoint provides the foundation for modern intranets, content management, collaboration and AI-powered knowledge experiences.

And now, with AI and agents built into the SharePoint experience, organisations can begin turning their information into an intelligent business asset.

At CPS, we help organisations modernise SharePoint, create intelligent intranets and establish the knowledge foundations required for Microsoft 365 Copilot and AI-powered business transformation.

Why Microsoft SharePoint?

SharePoint has evolved far beyond traditional document management.

It provides the foundation for organisational content, knowledge, collaboration and intranets across Microsoft 365.

Organisations use SharePoint to:

  • Connect People With Information: Give employees a single, trusted place to find organisational news, documents, policies and knowledge.
  • Improve Collaboration: Enable teams to securely share, edit and collaborate on documents and information from anywhere.
  • Modernise The Intranet: Create engaging, personalised digital workplaces that keep employees informed and connected.
  • Improve Knowledge Discovery: Make organisational information easier to search, understand and reuse.
  • Prepare For AI: Create the trusted content foundation that enables Microsoft 365 Copilot and AI Agents to work with organisational knowledge.

The Challenges Organisations Face

Many organisations have invested heavily in information and collaboration technology but still struggle to make their knowledge accessible.

  • Information Overload: Employees spend too much time searching across sites, folders, emails and applications for the information they need.
  • Outdated Intranets: Traditional intranets can be difficult to maintain, poorly structured and disconnected from the way employees actually work.
  • Knowledge Silos: Important information remains trapped within departments, teams and individual systems.
  • Poor Content Management: Without clear ownership, governance and information architecture, SharePoint environments can quickly become difficult to navigate.
  • AI Without The Right Foundations: AI can only provide useful organisational answers when the underlying information is accessible, relevant and appropriately governed.

The Evolution Of SharePoint

SharePoint has evolved from a document and collaboration platform into a much broader intelligent workplace and knowledge platform.

Traditional SharePoint focused on storing and sharing information.

Modern SharePoint enables organisations to create intranets, collaborate, communicate and manage organisational content.

The next evolution is intelligent SharePoint, where AI can understand organisational content, answer questions, create content, automate tasks and help employees get more value from their information.

Microsoft now provides AI capabilities within SharePoint that can work with files, pages, libraries and sites using natural language.

A Microsoft Overview: What is SharePoint?

What is Microsoft SharePoint?

The Knowledge Foundation For The Modern Workplace

SharePoint provides a secure and flexible platform for managing content, communicating with employees and supporting collaboration.

  • Intelligent Intranets: Create modern digital workplaces that bring together organisational news, resources, policies and communications.
  • Document Management: Securely store, organise, share and manage documents throughout their lifecycle.
  • Team Sites: Create dedicated collaboration spaces for departments, projects and business teams.
  • Communication Sites: Share information, news and resources with specific audiences across the organisation.
  • SharePoint Lists: Manage structured business information, track activities and support operational processes.
  • Search & Discovery: Help employees find sites, people, documents and information across the organisation.
  • Microsoft 365 Integration: Connect SharePoint with Teams, OneDrive, Outlook, Viva, Power Platform and Microsoft 365 Copilot.

Microsoft describes SharePoint as a platform for creating sites, pages, document libraries and lists, while enabling people to discover and securely collaborate on information across the organisation.

SharePoint & AI

Turn Organisational Knowledge Into Intelligence

This is where SharePoint becomes particularly important to your AI strategy.

Microsoft is introducing AI capabilities directly into SharePoint that allow users to interact with their content using natural language.

Employees can increasingly use AI to:

  • Ask Questions About Content: Get answers from files, pages and sites rather than manually searching through documents.
  • Summarise Documents: Quickly understand the key points within lengthy documents and collections of information.
  • Compare Information: Use AI to identify similarities and differences between documents.
  • Create Content: Use natural language to help create pages, sections, FAQs and other SharePoint content.
  • Automate Information Management: Use AI to organise content, create metadata and support workflows across libraries.
  • Build AI Agents: Create agents that use selected SharePoint sites, pages and documents as trusted sources of organisational knowledge.

The opportunity is significant: your SharePoint environment can become part of the knowledge foundation for your AI strategy.

SharePoint Agents

Give Your Knowledge A Voice

SharePoint now supports AI-powered agents that can answer questions using the content people already have permission to access.

These agents can be created around specific sites, libraries or collections of information, helping employees interact with organisational knowledge through natural language.

For example:

HR Agent

Answer questions about policies, procedures and employee guidance.

Project Agent

Provide information from project documents, plans and governance material.

Procurement Agent

Help employees understand procurement policies, frameworks and approved processes.

Policy Agent

Answer questions using the latest organisational policies and procedures.

Customer Agent

Help teams quickly find product, service and customer information.

This creates a natural bridge between SharePoint → Copilot → AI Agents → Agent-First working.
