Why companies are switching from SharePoint to DocuXplorer for their document management needs.
SharePoint is a popular information management and collaboration solution for businesses. It serves as a platform for building out your own sites and systems—with the right resources and configuration, you can do almost anything in SharePoint.
However, SharePoint was not built as a document management system (DMS). Going beyond content sharing requires IT expertise, training, and, at times, additional supplemental tools. Businesses looking to manage their information and automate repeatable processes will struggle to achieve everything they want with SharePoint and may find that a DMS fits the bill.
A sophisticated document management system allows you to add, organize, secure, and optimize your information. Your DMS acts as your file storage and operational hub.
Let’s explore how software like DocuXplorer can be an ideal alternative or companion to SharePoint.
With centralized digital file storage, you can go paperless, secure and protect your documents, and standardize your business processes.
A DMS focuses on three primary things: finding what you need, process, and control.
Microsoft SharePoint enables teams to share and manage content, knowledge, and applications across their organization.
SharePoint’s focus is on content creation and collaboration.
These two tools have similar characteristics but achieve very different business objectives. SharePoint works well if your organization wants to collaborate and share project documents. However, there are no best practices for using it. Users create and administer their own SharePoint sites, so losing track of your company information is a risk. Shaping SharePoint into a system that supports many functions requires additional effort and resources.
A DMS manages record retention, automates business processes, and increases productivity. It helps you uniformly and effortlessly manage your information and supports you in developing proactive data practices.
As an alternative to SharePoint, DocuXplorer is quick to implement, user-friendly, and built to serve small, medium, and enterprise companies.
Effortlessly migrate thousands of records to your DMS and integrate the software with other essential platforms—no need for hardware, complex customizations, or IT expertise. Access your files anytime, anywhere, and get personalized support and best-practice guidance.
