Small businesses are under pressure to do more with less. SharePoint and Microsoft Power Platform offer simple, powerful tools that help you automate tasks, centralize information, and work smarter — without expensive custom software or IT teams.
Here’s how these tools deliver real results.
When files are scattered across emails, desktops, and Dropbox folders, things get missed. SharePoint gives you:
Why it matters: Employees stop wasting time searching for info. Everyone knows where to go, what’s current, and what’s next.
Power Automate (part of Power Platform) connects your apps and automates repetitive work.
Common use cases:
Why it matters: You reduce manual data entry, cut errors, and free up hours of admin time every week.
Hiring developers to build internal tools is expensive. Power Apps lets you build simple apps yourself — no code required.
Examples:
You can run these apps on desktop or mobile, and connect them to Excel, SharePoint, SQL, or hundreds of other data sources.
Why it matters: You solve problems fast, without waiting for IT or outside contractors.
If your reports live in spreadsheets, you’re missing insights. Power BI gives you dashboards that pull real-time data from your systems.
Use it to:
Why it matters: Better visibility means better decisions. You stop reacting and start planning.

You don’t need to buy:
Why it matters: You save thousands per year by consolidating tools.

1. Is SharePoint hard to set up?
No. SharePoint Online comes with templates and works out of the box. A consultant can help you customize it further if needed.
2. Do I need coding skills to use Power Platform?
Not at all. Power Apps and Power Automate are designed for non-technical users. You can build apps and workflows with drag-and-drop tools.
3. How much does it cost?
If you have Microsoft 365 Business Standard or Premium, SharePoint and basic Power Platform features are included.
4. Can I connect Power Platform to tools like QuickBooks or Salesforce?
Yes. It has hundreds of connectors, including CRMs, ERPs, accounting platforms, and even custom APIs.
5. How do I start?
Start with a single process — like document management or approval workflows. Then build from there. You can also work with a Microsoft-certified consultant.
