Microsoft Teams Integrated Modern SharePoint Site

Empowering Seamless Collaboration for a Global Creative Services Agency

Overview

A well-known American creative services firm that worked with well-known companies like McDonald’s, Burger King, and others was having trouble keeping track of its internal file systems and communication processes. Their operations lacked the structure and automation required for project-specific communication and document management because they mostly relied on disjointed solutions like Dropbox, Skype, and shared network files.

By implementing a cutting-edge SharePoint-based solution that was connected with Microsoft Teams, CodeIT 365 intervened to simplify their digital workspace. The outcome was a completely automated, safe, and scalable environment that revolutionized the agency’s internal and external operations.

Business Case

The agency was relying on:

  1. A file system with shared folders for internal use
  2. Dropbox for client file sharing
  3. Skype for internal communication
  4. IT admins manually managing folder permissions

This approach lacked structure, security, and scalability. As their client base and projects grew, so did the challenges of managing scattered data and collaboration silos.

Key Challenges We Addressed

  1. Unorganized and scattered document storage
  2. Lack of project-specific task management
  3. No system for capturing project notes
  4. No email alerts or automated updates
  5. Manual and time-consuming permission management
  6. Ineffective communication with Skype
