The challenge for SharePoint Users
Endless searching for business apps or linksÂ
In today’s fast-paced work setting, endlessly searching for the right business app or link can really slow things down. We’ve noticed that SharePoint users typically face issues like:
- Wasting time trying to find specific apps or links for their tasks
- Not knowing about all the available tools and subscriptions they have available
- Depending on others to figure out which apps fit certain tasks, which impact productivity
- The lack of a single spot in SharePoint to neatly put together all business apps in a way that suits each user’s style and needs
