Why SharePoint Fails in Most Companies (And How To Fix It)

SharePoint is a powerful platform but most organisations use it as a digital filing cabinet rather than a structured operational system. When folders are poorly named, permissions are unorganized, and workflows aren't mapped to real needs, teams stop using the platform entirely.

The solution is not just "training" it's redesigning SharePoint based on how people actually work. Clear naming conventions, business-specific directory structures, automated workflows, and department-based hubs transform SharePoint from storage to strategy.

When implemented properly, SharePoint becomes a centralized system that reduces duplicated effort, simplifies communication, and supports scalable operations across teams. The tool isn’t the problem it’s how it’s built.
