IRON IT Group | Microsoft SharePoint

Your information. Connected, organised and accessible.

Business information should be easy to find, simple to manage and available to the right people when they need it.

Microsoft SharePoint brings documents, internal communications, shared resources and collaboration into a powerful cloud-based content management environment.

IRON IT Group helps organisations explore SharePoint intranets, document management, information architecture, secure collaboration, migration and integration with Microsoft 365.

From designing a company intranet to modernising shared files and creating automated business processes, we help make SharePoint work around the way your organisation operates.

What Is Microsoft SharePoint?

A better place for the information your business depends on.

Many organisations still store important files across email attachments, network drives, personal folders and disconnected systems.

Over time, this can make it difficult to understand which information is current, who owns it and who should have access.

Microsoft SharePoint provides a platform for building websites, document libraries and content management environments that support business collaboration.

Employees can use suitable SharePoint sites to access shared information, work with supported Microsoft 365 documents, publish internal updates and collaborate across departments.

Modern SharePoint also supports responsive pages, site navigation, information discovery and integration with other Microsoft 365 services.

The key is designing an environment with clear structure, sensible permissions, appropriate governance and a straightforward employee experience.

SharePoint Intranet Solutions

Create a digital home for your organisation.

A company intranet can provide employees with a central destination for important internal information, resources and business communications.

Modern SharePoint communication sites can support company announcements, departmental pages, employee resources and other publishing scenarios.

SharePoint hub sites can help connect related sites through common navigation and themes while allowing each site to maintain its own permissions.

A well-planned intranet should also consider how information is created, reviewed, published and eventually updated or retired.

  • Modern SharePoint communication sites
  • Departmental and team sites
  • Hub sites and shared navigation
  • Internal news and announcements
  • Employee policies and procedures
  • Business resources and quick links
  • Content ownership and publishing processes

Company Intranet Architecture ILLUSTRATIVE

One connected information experience.

A simplified example showing how a business intranet might organise important employee content.

Company SharePoint Intranet News • Announcements • Resources • Company Information
DEPARTMENT 01 Human Resources Policies, onboarding information and approved employee resources.
DEPARTMENT 02 IT Services Technical guidance, helpdesk information and approved applications.
DEPARTMENT 03 Operations Procedures, shared documents and business process information.
DEPARTMENT 04 Projects & Teams Relevant collaboration sites, project resources and document libraries.
Conceptual architecture. Associated SharePoint sites do not automatically inherit hub-site access permissions.
SharePoint Document Management

Organise documents without losing control.

Business documents need more than a place to be stored.

Employees should be able to locate the right information, understand which version to use and collaborate according to appropriate access permissions.

SharePoint document libraries provide supported options for organising files, adding metadata, managing access and viewing version history.

Depending on the file type and Microsoft 365 configuration, eligible employees can also work together on documents using supported co-authoring experiences.

Document management design should consider content ownership, retention requirements, naming standards and the practical needs of different departments.

  • Document library planning
  • Metadata and content types
  • Version history configuration
  • Document access permissions
  • Microsoft 365 co-authoring
  • Content naming and organisation
  • Search and information discovery
  • Document approval processes
  • Retention and archiving requirements

Microsoft 365 Integration

Connect SharePoint with the tools your team already uses.

SharePoint works alongside different Microsoft 365 applications to support content and collaboration.

Microsoft Teams uses SharePoint for file storage in many channel collaboration scenarios, with different site arrangements for certain channel types.

OneDrive and SharePoint also provide complementary file management capabilities within Microsoft 365.

Eligible Microsoft 365 documents can support co-authoring and collaboration across compatible applications.

These integrations should be planned with appropriate sharing settings, ownership and identity controls to avoid confusion over where business information belongs.

  • Microsoft Teams and SharePoint integration
  • Team site and channel-site considerations
  • SharePoint document libraries
  • OneDrive and shared-content practices
  • Microsoft 365 document collaboration
  • Appropriate permissions management
  • Site ownership and governance
  • Employee adoption and training

SharePoint & Power Automate

Turn routine document processes into connected workflows.

Many businesses rely on repeated manual steps when reviewing forms, requesting approvals or notifying departments about document changes.

SharePoint can work with Microsoft Power Automate to support eligible business processes and workflow automation.

Depending on the available connectors, licences and configuration, organisations can explore approvals, notifications, list updates and other processes triggered by SharePoint activity.

A suitable solution should include defined ownership, error handling, permissions and appropriate documentation.

  • Document approval workflows
  • Notifications and reminders
  • SharePoint list automation
  • File creation and update triggers
  • Business forms and data collection
  • Departmental review processes
  • Workflow monitoring
  • Automation security and licensing

01 — Submit An authorised employee creates or submits an eligible document or list item.
02 — Notify A supported Power Automate flow sends an approval request or notification.
03 — Review The designated reviewer approves, rejects or requests further information.
04 — Record The configured workflow updates the relevant status or creates an appropriate audit trail.

Information That Connects People

Make collaboration easier across every department.

The best intranet is one employees can understand, navigate and use in their everyday work.

A well-designed SharePoint environment can provide clearer access to important documents, resources, internal news and the information people need to complete their tasks.

Employee training, content ownership and appropriate maintenance are just as important as the initial technical implementation.

SharePoint Migration Services

Bring your existing documents into a more organised environment.

Many organisations want to move documents from file servers, legacy SharePoint installations or other storage services into SharePoint Online.

A successful migration should consider the content being moved, existing folder structures, user permissions, version history, business applications and information ownership.

Microsoft provides the SharePoint Migration Tool for supported migration scenarios, including eligible on-premises file shares and SharePoint Server environments.

Before moving files, organisations should consider removing obsolete information, establishing suitable destination libraries and confirming which metadata and permissions can be preserved.

Testing and validation remain important because not every source feature or integration necessarily transfers in the same way.

  • Existing file share assessment
  • SharePoint Server migration assessment
  • Content inventory and classification
  • Site and document library design
  • User and group mapping
  • Permissions migration planning
  • Document versions and metadata
  • Migration testing and validation
  • Employee communication and adoption
Discuss SharePoint Migration →
Migration Readiness

Move the right information, not unnecessary complexity.

Review Current Content Identify files, data owners, existing permissions and redundant information.
Design Destination Sites Plan appropriate SharePoint libraries, metadata, information architecture and user access.
Test Migration Evaluate supported tools, transfer behaviour, version history and permissions.
Validate & Adopt Review migrated information and help employees understand the new environment.
SharePoint Security & Governance

Help the right people access the right information.

SharePoint stores important business content, so information-sharing controls and access permissions require careful consideration.

Modern SharePoint sites use different permission models depending on their purpose and relationship with Microsoft 365 groups or Teams.

An organisation should establish suitable ownership, external sharing policies and administrative controls.

Microsoft Purview can also provide relevant information protection, retention and governance capabilities, subject to licensing and configuration.

As sites and document libraries grow, periodic reviews can help identify outdated content, unused sites and unnecessary access.

  • SharePoint site ownership
  • Owners, members and visitors
  • Microsoft 365 group permissions
  • External sharing policies
  • Guest access considerations
  • Sensitive information management
  • Microsoft Purview retention and labels
  • Site lifecycle governance
  • Permissions reviews
  • Administrative access controls

Content Governance

Protect information through clear responsibilities.

Site Ownership Identify who manages each site, its content and access decisions.
Sharing Controls Review how internal and external users can access business information.
Information Lifecycle Establish suitable retention, review and retirement practices.
Regular Reviews Assess content, permissions and relevant security configuration changes.
Copilot in SharePoint

Prepare your business knowledge for AI-assisted work.

SharePoint has become an important information platform for Microsoft 365 Copilot and other supported AI-powered experiences.

Copilot in SharePoint can provide eligible users with capabilities for working with site content, answering questions, organising information and creating relevant resources.

Some advanced content processing and automated AI workflows require additional consumption-based billing and Copilot Credits.

Before adopting these capabilities, businesses should assess information quality, access permissions, metadata, site ownership and data governance.

A well-structured SharePoint environment can help provide more useful business information to supported AI tools, while permission management remains essential.

  • SharePoint AI readiness
  • Microsoft 365 Copilot licensing
  • Copilot in SharePoint capabilities
  • Information classification
  • Metadata and content organisation
  • SharePoint permission reviews
  • Responsible AI policies
  • Copilot Credits and usage-based billing

Managed SharePoint Services

Your SharePoint environment should evolve with your business.

SharePoint sites change as departments grow, employees move roles, new documents are created and business requirements evolve.

Without clear responsibilities, content may become outdated, sites can lose active ownership and information-sharing arrangements may become difficult to manage.

An ongoing SharePoint management approach should consider appropriate administration, site reviews, permissions, content lifecycle and employee support.

Specific support activities and frequencies should be defined around the organisation's needs and contractual arrangements.

  • SharePoint site administration
  • Document library management
  • Content and site ownership reviews
  • Permissions and external sharing reviews
  • Governance and policy updates
  • Site health and usage reporting
  • Employee training and technical support
  • Information organisation improvements
