Replace SharePoint Without the Headaches
Many banks and credit unions feel stuck with SharePoint - not because it's working, but because it's bundled with their Microsoft 365 subscription. It feels wasteful to replace something you 'already pay for.' But when that free tool becomes a bottleneck - slowing down your staff, your auditors, and your workflows - it's not really free anymore. We call it the SharePoint Trap - and there's a way out.
Why Financial Institutions Replace SharePoint
- Hard to use: Staff engagement drops due to complexity and poor UX.
- Not built for FIs: Requires third-party add-ons or consultants to meet basic compliance needs.
- Lacks clarity: Search is clunky, and documents get buried in libraries.
- Expensive and slow: Time and budget drain on IT for every customization or update.
How We Simplify the Transition
- Dual-system rollout: Run both systems temporarily during the transition phase. Learn more about this phased approach on our SharePoint Integration page.
- SharePoint file search: SharePoint can be integrated for less disruption using our step-by-step app registration guide.
- Microsoft 365 login support: Use your existing Entra ID or Azure AD credentials.
- No bottlenecks: Built to be managed across the organization - by operations, HR, compliance, training - not just IT.
The Replacement Process
- Review: Evaluate your current SharePoint structure and goals.
- Plan: Map out your transition - in full or in phases.
- Launch: You can either mirror your SharePoint structure or do something new - and prepare SimplifyIT to go live.
- Support: Your staff is onboarded, your documents are secure, and our team is available as needed.
