From SharePoint Default to Supercharged

A newly hired IT admin at a professional services firm inherited a functional but uninspiring SharePoint setup. Employees complained about navigation, document discovery, and lack of integration — avoiding the platform whenever possible.

Budget? Limited. Time? Tight. Solution? FusePoint.

In just three weeks, they deployed a complete suite of enhancements — without coding — and saw measurable improvements in productivity, satisfaction, and leadership recognition.

Why SharePoint Needs Enhancement

• User Experience Gaps – Default UI is functional but uninspiring
• Navigation & Search Limits – Hard to find what you need fast
• Integration Gaps – Switching between Teams and SharePoint breaks flow
• Branding Constraints – Generic look reduces engagement
