SharePoint Optimization Boosts Productivity by 9 Hours Weekly

If your organization uses Microsoft 365, you already have SharePoint. The question is whether you're getting value from it, or just paying for another folder structure nobody trusts. Done well, SharePoint provides version control, permissions, governance, and deep integration with the tools your teams already use. Done poorly, it becomes a digital attic. Our latest article breaks down what SharePoint is, how it differs from simpler file-sharing tools, and what it takes to make it work as part of a broader digital strategy. https://lnkd.in/gkcwC9M2 #SharePoint #Microsoft365 #DigitalWorkplace #ManagedIT #YYCBusiness #Teknertia

Many organisations assume their SharePoint setup is fine because nothing is visibly broken.  In reality things can still ‘work’, while quietly causing friction day to day.  We’ve shared a short guide outlining what we look at when assessing whether SharePoint is actually supporting how people work.  👉 Is Your SharePoint Actually Working?  https://lnkd.in/eBZGXiZq  We’re also offering a Complimentary SharePoint Optimisation Report for organisations that want a clearer view of their own setup.  👉 Claim your Complimentary SharePoint Optimisation Report  https://lnkd.in/eT4msHzD  #SharePoint #Microsoft365 #LeafIT

SharePoint Server 2016 and 2019 reach end of extended support on 𝐉𝐮𝐥𝐲 14, 2026 But modernization should not start with migration. It should start with assessment.

July 2026 is closer than many SharePoint teams realise. Support for SharePoint Server 2016 and 2019 ends on 14 July 2026, and many UK organisations are still relying on legacy environments that were never designed for today’s hybrid workplace. The challenge isn’t just migration. It’s dealing with years of: • Unstructured content • Inconsistent permissions • Content sprawl • Low user adoption • Rising Microsoft 365 costs A simple lift-and-shift approach often carries these problems straight into the new environment. That’s why modern SharePoint migration needs more than technical execution. It requires governance, information architecture, permissions strategy, and adoption planning from the start.

Every organization has a hidden operating system. It’s not in one document. It’s not in one policy. It’s definitely not in the Teams chat someone forgot to pin. It’s the way people actually get work done. That’s a very human challenge. What if SharePoint could remember not just what your organization knows, but how your organization works? That’s the idea behind SharePoint Skills, and I think it’s one of the more interesting shifts happening in modern work right now. We're starting to see that the future of SharePoint is not simply be about storing better content. It's about helping people put that content to work. To me, this is where the conversation gets exciting. I wrote SharePoint Skills; what they are, why they matter, and where they could fit into the modern digital workplace. You can read it here: https://lnkd.in/eNi_twqr Let me ask you. If your team could turn one repeatable process into a reusable SharePoint Skill, what would it be? #SharePoint #SharePointSkills #DigitalWorkplace #ModernWork #M365 #MVPBuzz #2toLeaders 2toLead

If you've ever cracked open the SharePoint admin center at 10pm to fix something "real quick," you already know the feeling. Bright white screen. Full blast. Like someone turned on the kitchen light at 2am. Microsoft finally fixed it. Dark mode is coming to the SharePoint admin center. No settings change. No impact on your end users. No prep work. Just a toggle in the top right corner that makes the thing match every other Microsoft 365 portal you already have in dark mode. Consistency. Finally. It's not a feature that's going to make your quarterly numbers look better. But small quality-of-life wins stack up. Less eye strain for your admins. Less jarring context switching between portals. A slightly more pleasant experience for the people keeping your systems running after hours. Good IT isn't always dramatic. Sometimes it's just making the everyday tools a little easier to live with. Dark mode crew, this one's for you. #Microsoft365 #SharePoint #ITAdmin #ManagedIT #TechTips #ITSupport #SmallBizTech #TehachapiIT #GoldenHillsIT #KernCountyBusiness

Microsoft extended MIM 2016 support to Jan 9, 2029, but the Portal’s SharePoint dependency creates a practical cliff: SharePoint 2016/2019 end support in July 2026, making SP3 and SharePoint Subscription Edition relevant but not strategic. With innovation moving to Entra ID/Governance, organizations should plan an exit via four paths and a five-phase strategy process. 💡 Find out more in Reiner Mertens' blog post: https://okt.to/ufWwxq #Microsoft #Sharepoint #EntraID

If you’ve ever logged into SharePoint late at night to fix something quickly, you’ll understand this one 😅 Microsoft is adding dark mode to the SharePoint admin center. Now, before you think this is just a cosmetic tweak, hear me out 👂 For years, most of the Microsoft 365 admin portals have supported dark mode. Exchange. Teams. The main Microsoft 365 admin center. But SharePoint? Bright white screen. Every time. If you prefer dark mode (and a lot of people do), jumping into SharePoint always felt a bit… jarring. That’s finally being fixed 🎉 Admins will now be able to switch between light and dark themes inside the SharePoint admin center. It’s optional. Nothing is being forced on anyone. And importantly: • This doesn’t change any settings • It doesn’t affect end users • It doesn’t require any preparation • It’s purely about visual comfort and accessibility Dark mode reduces the amount of bright light your screen emits. For people working long hours, or logging in during the evening to deal with an issue, it can reduce eye strain and make the experience more comfortable 🌙 It’s not going to revolutionize your business, but small quality-of-life improvements matter more than people think. There’s also a consistency benefit here. If you’ve already chosen dark mode across other Microsoft 365 portals, SharePoint will now align with that preference instead of standing out like a floodlight. Switching it on is simple: Open the SharePoint admin center from the Microsoft 365 admin portal and use the Dark Mode toggle in the top right. That’s it. I often say that good IT isn’t always about dramatic new features. Sometimes it’s about making everyday tools slightly more pleasant to use. 👀 If you regularly manage SharePoint, do you prefer dark mode across your tools, or are you still sticking with the classic bright white screens? #SharePoint #Microsoft365 #DarkMode #Microsoft #Productivity #ITAdmin #BusinessTech #Accessibility

Are you trying to move away from legacy records systems, while also moving forward with SharePoint? It’s a challenge many organisations are facing. How do you transition without creating more silos or losing control of records? We’re seeing FileSmart help bridge that gap, bringing structure, governance, and consistency into SharePoint, while supporting integration with wider systems. It’s less about just migrating, and more about: - moving away from legacy without losing control - consolidating records, metadata, and retention in one place - supporting integration to reduce duplication - keeping everything within your Microsoft environment It’s an interesting shift, from migration as a task, to a foundation for wider transformation. Curious how others are approaching it. #SharePoint #RecordsManagement #DigitalTransformation #InformationGovernance #LocalGovernment #Microsoft365 #DataManagement
