While SharePoint is a “swiss army knife” platform that can fit almost any business need with the right implementation, in its core it is an Intranet platform, and the world’s most popular one. It started as a Document Management System and evolved into Global Intranet platform with endless extensibility features. With the deep integration with Microsoft Teams, you can now bring your SharePoint Intranet right within Teams with a few clicks and provide your users a single gateway to your organization’s resources. Over time, SharePoint also served the purpose of an Extranet, which nowadays is taken over by the Power Apps Portals.
