SharePoint and Microsoft 365

Intranets and collaboration solutions on Microsoft 365 and SharePoint, for communication that actually works.

Intranet and collaboration solutions

Sound familiar?

You already have Microsoft 365. The value only arrives once the tools match the way people actually work.

A good fit if you …

  • Have Microsoft 365, but an intranet nobody uses
  • Need Power Platform applied to manual routines
  • Want one supplier for M365, integrations and the line-of-business system

What you get

The goal is not more Microsoft licences. It is that people find what they need, and stop doing the same job twice.

  • An intranet people actually use — structure and content built around the working day, not around the org chart.
  • Manual routines automated — repetitive steps moved to Power Platform.
  • One supplier for Microsoft 365, integration and the quality system — the same team sets up the platform and connects it to your systems.

From intranet to digital workplace

Traditional intranets were mostly one-way communication. Today the need is quite different: an internal platform that encourages collaboration, sharing and efficiency. Netpower helps organisations take the step from a classic intranet to a full digital workplace, closely integrated with the tools employees use every day.

A complete digital workplace on Microsoft 365

Netpower’s team combines consultants with technical and commercial backgrounds. Several of our people hold certifications across the Microsoft ecosystem. We advise organisations on how to adopt the various Microsoft 365 products, then handle the technical implementation ourselves.

Microsoft Teams 365

Microsoft SharePoint

You may already have a workplace intranet built on the SharePoint platform. A SharePoint intranet encourages sharing and collaboration: you can build sites and portals to suit your organisation and connect them to the expertise, content, insight and collective knowledge inside it.

What many people do not realise is that internal processes can be streamlined by integrating key third-party applications and tools into SharePoint, so everything needed for efficient work sits in one place. The SharePoint mobile apps also give secure access to important sites, files, data and applications on the move.

SharePoint integrations

Netpower has long experience of integrating systems and builds SharePoint integrations to whichever business systems you need. Talk to us if you want your other IT systems to communicate seamlessly with SharePoint.

Integrating your quality and internal control system

Certain QMS is our own quality and internal control system, and the seamless integration gives you:

  • Non-conformity reporting inside SharePoint
  • Search and look-up in SharePoint for governing documents stored in Certain QMS
  • SharePoint notifications for tasks that need handling in Certain QMS
  • Tailored management reports built on data from Certain QMS

Design and communication

Building a good intranet is far more than an IT project. Content, structure and usability matter at least as much as the technical delivery.

Netpower has its own interaction designers who work exclusively on user experience, navigation and design. We also have consultants with backgrounds in marketing communication and branding who bring the communication expertise a new intranet needs.

Microsoft Teams

Microsoft Teams has become an essential tool for collaboration, whether people share an office or work from different locations. Teams is widely used, yet many still find it hard to get real value from it — usually because nobody has introduced them to what it can do, and because the organisation has never agreed on best practice.

Let us help you with Teams

We use Teams at Netpower and know the tool well. We can give you a thorough introduction to what it offers and help you get the most out of it.

Do you have too many teams? Should you limit who can create them? Would a chatbot in Teams help answer frequently asked questions? Or can you see how much smoother the workflow would be if the tools you use for documentation and reporting were available inside Teams as well?

Perhaps you have already mapped out every challenge and are wondering how to move forward. That is where we come in — with advice, and with the technical implementation too.

Microsoft Power Platform

Every business has tasks that are monotonous and repetitive. That kind of manual work can and should be automated to make operations more efficient — scanning expense claims, building a product overview, updating stock levels, organising access rights. The possibilities are practically unlimited: any process with repetitive manual steps can be automated. For that work we use Microsoft Power Platform.

A platform of low-code tools

Microsoft Power Platform currently consists of:

  • Power Apps
  • Power Automate
  • Power BI
  • Power Virtual Agents

Used together, these tools let you build solutions that streamline operations and drive growth. The whole point of low-code tools is that you do not have to be a software developer to create apps or automated processes for your business.

Several of our people work at the meeting point of technology and business, and can build no-code solutions tailored to your organisation.

Microsoft Azure

Netpower has long experience with Microsoft’s cloud services. With our expertise in Azure and Active Directory, we deliver optimised, integrated solutions for data storage, data management and access control.
