SharePoint Platform

Our SharePoint team has expertise in delivering SharePoint solutions in line with all the platform’s deployment models:

		Cloud (SharePoint Online). A great choice for small, midsize, and large businesses, as it allows reducing costs without compromising on functionality.
		On-premises (SharePoint 2016). Preferable for enterprises that are obliged to store all the content on-premises due to strict compliance regulations and can afford ongoing investments to maintain a big server farm.
		Hybrid. Suitable for businesses that want to keep core content on-premises while using Office 365 applications.

SharePoint Online

If you aim for a cloud SharePoint solution, you will leverage the following capabilities of the platform:

Infrastructure. SharePoint Online doesn’t require servers and hardware to give users access to the environment.
Storage. 10GB of initial storage in SharePoint Online with additional 500MB per licensed user.
Upgrade. Microsoft upgrades SharePoint Online automatically and free of charge. Besides, the cloud deployment of SharePoint is always the first to get upgrades as compared to the on-premises deployment.
External user access. SharePoint Online can be accessed anytime, anywhere and from any device.
Mobility. SharePoint Online can be accessed anytime, anywhere and from any device.
Customization. SharePoint Online offers limited custom development.
Reliability. Microsoft guarantees the uptime of 99.9%.
Backups. Microsoft uses multiple layers of redundancy and backups in their data centers.
Internet reliability. SharePoint Online is dependent on the internet connection.
Security. SharePoint Online uses disks with BitLocker encryption and secures traffic with SSL over HTTP. The platform also features multifactor authentication and data loss prevention.
Compliance.SharePoint Online is compliant with most regulations across industries: HIPAA, FISMA, ISO 27001, FERPA, SSAE 16, etc.

SharePoint on-premises

If you opt for SharePoint Server 2019, for example, you should keep in mind the peculiarities of SharePoint on-premises:

Infrastructure. The on-premises deployment of SharePoint requires investing in servers, hardware and an IT team. It highly depends on systems and services such as SQL Server, the Internet Information Service and more. An organization also needs a professional IT team to install and manage updates and patches, create and test backups, detect and deal with bottlenecks, set up security features, etc.
Storage. Storage is bound by the physical limits of the infrastructure.
Upgrade. Updates and new tools are available at a later date as compared to SharePoint Online. However, an in-house administrator has full control over the on-premises environment and can choose when to do upgrading or patching.
Customization. SharePoint on-premises is fully customizable.
Internet reliability. SharePoint on-premises is not dependent on the internet connection.
Security. As compared to SharePoint Online, in SharePoint on-premises, access to sensitive data can be limited to the corporate network or VPN.
Compliance. As information is stored in-house, SharePoint on-premises is compliant with strict compliance requirements.
