AskSympraxis SharePoint & Teams: What To Use When Series

We asked you what you wanted to hear about and by an overwhelming margin folks wanted to know about using SharePoint and Teams and our thoughts on when to use each. Of course this elicits the universal consultant response “It Depends”. This topic was so large that we are splitting it up into a few different episodes. Use Case: Users need to collaborate on content related to a project In our experience it makes sense to have the business weigh in on this.

Use Case Users need to complete a structured business process (e.g., time off request, travel plan, on-boarding, new asset request, check request, etc.) Example scenarios of structured business processes: Third-party solutions for process automation Ex: ServiceNow, GitHub, Nintex Workflows Power Platform Integrations or other Microsoft 365 apps Ex: Planner, Dataverse Solutions built using SharePoint artifacts Ex: Lists and libraries in combination with each other Customized solutions created with extensibility development tools

Users need to stay informed about organizational news This is one where a lot of people may not even be asking themselves yet, “SharePoint or Teams,” because they may be stuck sharing organizational news via email. We recommend starting to share news from SharePoint, that way all the content is in one place on the intranet versus needing to search the intranet and an email inbox to be fully up-to-date.
