Maximise SharePoint for a Better Employee Experience

SharePoint is commonly used as an intranet, employee portal, or document management system, but its capabilities go far beyond that.

At Silicon Reef, we’ve used SharePoint to create bespoke solutions such as events management platforms, learning hubs, and custom digital workplaces. SharePoint becomes truly powerful when it’s used creatively—especially when integrated with other Microsoft 365 tools like Power Platform, Viva, and Teams. With the right setup, SharePoint can become the beating heart of your organisation’s digital ecosystem, connecting people, content, and processes in a smarter, more engaging way.

The cost of implementing SharePoint depends on your goals—whether you need a simple out-of-the-box setup or a custom-built solution. At Silicon Reef, we offer a flexible approach tailored to your needs. We can solve specific, one-off challenges or partner with you on long-term digital workplace transformations. From quick wins using native SharePoint features to more complex, integrated solutions, we focus on delivering value at every stage and for every budget. Our aim is always to make your SharePoint investment work harder for your business.

Absolutely—and that’s where SharePoint really comes into its own. Think of Microsoft 365 as a set of building blocks: tools like Power Automate, Viva, and Copilot each offer their own capabilities. SharePoint acts as the foundation that holds everything together. You can use those blocks to build a bespoke digital workplace tailored to your organisation’s needs—or keep things simple and expand gradually over time. At Silicon Reef, we help businesses design smart, scalable solutions that grow with you, using SharePoint as the launchpad for a more connected, efficient workplace.

SharePoint is user-friendly, and many organisations are able to manage the day-to-day running of their environment in-house. However, many organisations find value in having an ongoing partner to help them get the most out of SharePoint over time. As the platform evolves, so do the opportunities—whether through new features, best practices, or shifting digital workplace needs. At Silicon Reef, we support businesses on this journey through a combination of professional services, managed services, and responsive support. Whether it’s continuous improvement, strategic planning, or hands-on optimisation, we’re here to help you adapt, grow, and get lasting value from your SharePoint investment.

SharePoint is highly customisable—both visually and functionally. It can be tailored to reflect the way your organisation works with custom solutions that extend the platform beyond its out-of-the-box features. This might include page templates, integrations with third-party tools, unique workflows, or bespoke apps using the SharePoint Framework (SPFx). With the right expertise, it’s possible to create a digital environment that feels entirely your own.

Silicon Reef helps businesses go beyond out-of-the-box by designing and developing custom SharePoint solutions that solve real problems and adapt as their needs evolve. Whether you’re in need of a dynamic intranet or a specific operational tool, we ensure that SharePoint fits seamlessly into your business operations rather than the other way around.
