CLOUD LIGHT
Your Files.
Everywhere.
SharePoint is how modern businesses store files. Access from anywhere, share securely with external partners, stop emailing attachments back and forth. It's probably already included in your Microsoft 365 subscription.
Think of it as your file server, but in the cloud.

Why SharePoint?
If you're not ready for full cloud infrastructure but want to stop relying on that aging file server in the closet, SharePoint is your entry point. It's where most businesses start their cloud journey.
Access files from anywhere
Working from home, at a client site, or traveling? Your files are there. No VPN needed. No "I'll send it when I get back to the office." Just your files, wherever you are.
Share externally without risk
Need to send a contract to a client? Share a link that expires in 7 days. Require a password. See who accessed it and when. Stop emailing sensitive documents.
Real collaboration, not version chaos
Three people can work on the same document at once. No more "Document_v3_Final_FINAL.docx." No more "who has the latest version?" Just one file, always current.
Your data isn't locked in a closet
That file server sitting in the back room? It's a single point of failure. SharePoint stores your data in Microsoft's data centers with redundancy and security you couldn't build yourself.
The Shift
From "the server is down" to "what server?"
The Old Way
X Files live on a server in the office
X VPN required to access remotely
X Email attachments to share externally
X Multiple versions floating around
X Hardware fails, files are at risk
With SharePoint
✓ Files live in Microsoft's cloud
✓ Access from any device, anywhere
✓ Secure links with expiration dates
✓ One version, always current
✓ Microsoft handles redundancy
What SharePoint Actually Does
Beyond the buzzwords
How We Set Up SharePoint
Migration, structure, and ongoing support.
Plan the structure
We map your current file organization and design a SharePoint structure that makes sense. Departments, projects, shared resources.
Migrate your files
We move your files from the old server to SharePoint. Permissions transfer. Folder structure stays logical.
Configure access controls
Groups and permissions. Accounting sees their files. HR sees theirs. External sharing rules that match your policies.
Train your team
We show your people how to use it. How to share. How to sync. Practical guidance, not a complicated course.
Questions About SharePoint
We know you have questions and we have answers.
-
Is SharePoint included in Microsoft 365?
Yes. SharePoint is included in most Microsoft 365 Business and Enterprise plans. If you're paying for M365, you probably already have SharePoint and just aren't using it.
-
How is SharePoint different from a file server?
SharePoint stores files in the cloud instead of on a physical server in your office. You can access files from anywhere without a VPN, share externally with time-limited links, and co-edit documents in real-time.
-
What about OneDrive? Are they the same thing?
OneDrive is for personal files. SharePoint is for shared files. Think of OneDrive as your personal desk drawer and SharePoint as the company filing cabinets. They work together.
-
How long does migration take?
Depends on how much data you have. A small business with a straightforward file server might migrate in a weekend. Larger organizations take longer. We'll give you a realistic timeline upfront.
-
Is SharePoint secure?
SharePoint inherits Microsoft 365's security, including encryption and access controls. Combined with proper configuration, it's often more secure than an unpatched file server in your back room.
