SharePoint Made Simple: 5 SharePoint Web Parts That Do the Heavy Lifting
The most used intranet base technology is SharePoint. It is a very adaptable and scalable platform that offers a lot of intranet features right out of the box. It also has a well-developed ecosystem of add-on products, so you can create a SharePoint intranet that is genuinely on par with the best in the world.
The ability of SharePoint to provide various intranet types that meet a broad range of organizational and employee needs is one of its best features. A SharePoint intranet can be successful for both small businesses with 100 employees and large corporations with 50,000 employees.
Despite being a strong platform for collaboration, Microsoft SharePoint’s out-of-the-box features do not always satisfy all business requirements. SharePoint web parts, which are modular, adaptable technologies that improve SharePoint’s fundamental features, can help with that.
