SharePoint Projects
Our approach to SharePoint comes from years of working with the platform as it has evolved-from earlier on-prem environments to SharePoint Online and the broader Microsoft 365 ecosystem. That continuity matters.
Because building an effective SharePoint solution isn’t just about features-it’s about setting up the platform in a way that stays structured, usable, and scalable over time. Over the years, we’ve delivered 200+ SharePoint projects across intranets, enterprise portals, migrations, governance frameworks, and custom business applications. Most SharePoint projects aren’t isolated use cases. They involve a mix of architecture decisions, permissions, integrations, and user adoption challenges. We approach them as a whole-so the solution works in practice, not just on paper.
Built for Governance-Driven Environments
Much of our effort is in industries where governance and control are essential: Banks, health care, manufacturing, and professional services. In these sectors, SharePoint must do more than facilitate collaboration.
What data does each person have access to, and why?
How are sensitive data being protected?
Is it prepared for audits and compliance reviews?
Our SharePoint environments are designed to be robust, secure, and manageable – able to withstand real-world scrutiny.
We answer those questions with Microsoft Purview, not just permissions
Permissions control who can open a file. Purview controls what happens to the data itself, wherever it travels. We configure it with your compliance team, aligned to your data classification scheme.
Classify
Sensitivity labels
Label sites and documents by sensitivity, with encryption and access rules that stay attached when files are shared or downloaded.
Prevent
Data loss prevention (DLP)
Policies that detect sensitive information such as financial or health data and block or warn before it leaves approved locations.
Retain
Retention and records
Retention labels and policies that keep what you must keep, delete what you should not, and leave an audit trail for reviews.
SharePoint Capabilities Most Vendors Still Skip
SharePoint is no longer just sites and libraries. These are the newer Microsoft 365 capabilities we design and deliver around it.
Employee experience
Viva Connections
Bring your SharePoint intranet into Microsoft Teams as a branded app with a dashboard, targeted news, and quick action cards, so employees reach company content where they already work.
Teams-based intranet
Teams-first intranets
Intranets designed around Teams for organizations that live there: connected SharePoint sites, a clear home site structure, and navigation that works on desktop and mobile.
AI for content
SharePoint Premium
Advanced document processing on top of SharePoint: models that extract data from contracts and invoices, automate classification, and reduce manual filing and review.
For product builders
SharePoint Embedded
An API-first way to build document and file management into your own application, with content stored in your Microsoft 365 tenant and covered by Purview compliance controls.
SharePoint Copilot & AI Implementation
Microsoft Copilot has made one thing clear-how your SharePoint is structured matters more than ever. Copilot pulls information directly from SharePoint, so if your content is disorganized or incorrectly permissioned, that’s exactly what it will surface.
The organizations benefiting from Copilot are those with well-governed SharePoint environments. All others need to focus on Copilot readiness as a governance issue before anything else.
Preparing SharePoint for AI and Copilot
As SharePoint continues to evolve, so does our work. We’re increasingly helping organizations prepare for AI-powered SharePoint environments, including Microsoft Copilot. That means structuring data, permissions, and content in a way that allows AI to deliver useful, accurate results-not noise. Our work here includes:
- Copilot readiness and implementation
- SharePoint integration with Power Platform
- AI-assisted search and knowledge discovery
- Intelligent workflow automation

Copilot Readiness Assessment
This entails a committed two to three week process, where we conduct a health check on your SharePoint environment to see how ready it is with respect to the Copilot criteria set by Microsoft. Areas such as permissions integrity, sensitivity labeling, data accuracy and freshness, overshare problems, and search settings are among those examined. What we deliver at the end of the day is a report with findings and recommendations organized in descending priority order – no selling to you to get another job down the line.
Let's talk: Send a messageMicrosoft 365 Copilot Integration
Getting Copilot working correctly across your Microsoft 365 environment — ensuring it surfaces SharePoint content to appropriate users through correct permission boundaries, optimizing content organization for AI retrieval, and tuning search relevance so Copilot answers draw from current, accurate sources.
Copilot Studio for SharePoint Agents
The Microsoft Copilot Studio platform enables creation of custom AI agents which leverage specific knowledge bases in SharePoint. Our agents assist employees in acquiring information from the organization’s documentation – HR policies, technical wikis, project histories, or product documentation, without the necessity to navigate to SharePoint and perform searches that come up with twenty hits for a question requiring only one.
SharePoint AI Search Improvements
The Microsoft Search in SharePoint acts as the backbone for both the manual search and the Copilot search. We configure the search schema, result source, query rule, promoted results, and vertical configurations. A properly configured search experience enhances the results obtained by users who manually search and those provided by Copilot when asked questions.
Information Architecture for AI Accuracy
The structural work that makes AI tools useful — reorganizing content, improving metadata coverage, implementing consistent content types, and eliminating the classification inconsistencies that cause AI tools to return confusing or inaccurate results.

SharePoint Development Success Stories
Explore how we’ve helped businesses build SharePoint solutions that support growth, maintain structure, and keep governance in place.
AI-Powered Project Management with Copilot 35% faster reporting and decision-making
We built a SharePoint-based project management setup with Microsoft Copilot to automate reports and surface key insights. Teams no longer had to spend hours pulling updates together-they could focus on decisions instead. This also helped standardize reporting across projects, making updates more consistent and easier to track.
Interactive Visual Content Platform 45% increase in user engagement
We developed an interactive image mapping solution integrated with SharePoint to manage and present visual content more effectively. It made content easier to explore and significantly improved how users interacted with it. Users could navigate complex visuals more intuitively, reducing the time needed to find relevant information.
DMS & Custom Intranet for Validation Services 50% faster document access and better compliance handling
We designed a SharePoint-based document management system along with a custom intranet tailored for validation workflows. Documents became easier to find, manage, and audit-reducing delays and improving overall control. The system also brought better version control and traceability, supporting smoother compliance processes.
SharePoint + Microsoft Teams Collaboration Hub 40% improvement in team collaboration
We created a connected SharePoint and Microsoft Teams environment where communication, documents, and workflows sit in one place. This reduced back-and-forth across tools and helped teams work more smoothly together. It also improved visibility across teams, making it easier to stay aligned on tasks and updates.

How We Work
Build and Redefine Strategy
Choose the Right Set of Technologies
Build Customised AI Agents
Establish Scalable Governance Policies
No project starts with a fixed scope document and ends six months later with a demo you never asked for. Our engagements typically run like this:
Week 1 to 2
Discovery
We invest our time in understanding your organization’s real structure rather than relying on a simple organizational chart. This involves communicating with the end users rather than just the IT stakeholders. The individuals who will use the SharePoint environment on a daily basis can provide valuable insight regarding the shortcomings of existing systems.
Week 2 to 3
Architecture and Planning
We give our proposal for information architecture, draft governance, and technical solution. You review it. We perfect it. We don’t start development until you’re sure about the path we take.
Iterative
Development and Configuration
Iterative builds with periodic check-ins. Working software at your disposal at periodic intervals – not just when we’re done with everything.
Before launch
Testing and Validation
Our tests against acceptance criteria are done through automated testing using Playwright and Jest and structured user acceptance testing. Security testing through OWASP is part of the custom development process.
Launch
Deployment and Handover
Phase-wise deployment with training for the users, administrators’ documentation, and structured hypercare period. Staying hands-on for the first few weeks after the launch.
After launch
Ongoing Support
Service-level agreement-driven support from the actual makers of the environment rather than support staff looking at the documents for the first time.

SharePoint 2016 and 2019 Migration: Support Ended July 14, 2026
Both SharePoint Server 2016 and 2019 are now out of support. If your farm is still running on either one, the question is no longer whether to move, but where to and in what order.
Still on SharePoint 2013 or earlier?
It left support in 2023, so the same path applies with more urgency. Not sure which version you are running? Send us a message and we can help you find out. Contact Us
Where we recommend you go
There are two supported destinations. The right one depends on your data, your customizations, and how much of your estate you want Microsoft to run for you.
- Most organizations: SharePoint Online, to reduce infrastructure and gain Teams, Power Platform, and Copilot.
- Strict residency, isolation, or heavy farm code: Subscription Edition.
- Needing both for a while: a hybrid setup, planned as a stepping stone and not a permanent parking spot.

Frequently Asked Questions
It is not always the SharePoint Development Company with the largest size that is the best, but rather it is one which has an established reputation regarding the timely delivery of projects, a clear price range, and certifications of its SharePoint/Microsoft 365 experts. Seek out companies with Microsoft Partner status, relevant project experience, and reference calls. At Prakash Software Solutions Pvt. Ltd., we've been a Microsoft Partner for years and we can provide case studies across intranet, migration, and custom app work. Happy to walk you through a few that match your industry.
Below are some of the best players providing SharePoint Development Services:
- PSSPL (Prakash Software Solutions Pvt. Ltd.) — Our pick for businesses that want senior-level SPFx and Power Platform expertise without enterprise-agency overhead. Transparent, project-based pricing, a dedicated support team that stays engaged after go-live, and a track record across intranet, migration, and custom app projects for SMB and mid-market clients.
- ScienceSoft — Strong choice for large-scale, multi-region enterprise rollouts with heavy governance and compliance needs.
- EPC Group — Established enterprise SharePoint consultancy with deep Microsoft 365 architecture experience.
- Itransition — Broad custom software background with solid SharePoint integration capability for complex environments.
- SharePoint Designs — Good option for out-of-the-box configuration, Teams setup, and lighter implementation projects.
The correct one would still depend on the size and budget of your project – but for most SMBs and midmarket organizations seeking practical SPFx development experience and genuine post deployment support, PSSPL is the best option to start off with. It is certainly worth shortlisting 2-3 firms from the above list and comparing their case studies and responsiveness in costing before deciding.
Some of the things matter more than having a fancy portfolio: having experience with SPFx and Power Platform (as opposed to “box” SharePoint), having a migration/upgrade strategy, providing post-go-live support, and having experience implementing solutions with that particular scenario — intranet, document management, workflows, you name it. Another good thing to ask is how they approach governance/security right from the beginning of the project rather than bolting it on later.
SharePoint is a flexible platform that supports everything from document management to collaboration and workflow automation. Here are some of the features teams use most:
(1) Document management
Store all your files in one place and manage them easily with versioning, permissions, and structured folders.
(2) Collaboration tools
Work together through shared spaces, team sites, calendars, and task lists—so everyone stays aligned.
(3) Workflow automation
Automate routine tasks like approvals, notifications, and document routing to save time and reduce manual work.
(4) Smart search
Quickly find documents, people, or information across your organization without digging through folders.
(5) Access control and security
Decide who can view, edit, or share content with detailed permission settings.
(6) Content management
Organize, manage, and publish content in a way that stays structured as your data grows.
(7) Seamless integration
Connect with Microsoft 365 tools like Teams, Outlook, and Power Platform, as well as other business applications.
(8) Version history
Keep track of changes, restore earlier versions, and maintain a clear record of document updates.
(9) Mobile access
Access your SharePoint sites and documents on the go from any device.
(10) Built-in analytics
Get insights into usage, activity, and content performance with reporting tools.
(11) Ready-to-use templates
Start quickly with pre-built site templates that you can customize based on your needs.
We hear this often. In many cases, the solution works technically, but teams don’t use it because user needs weren’t properly understood or governance wasn’t set up correctly. We can review what has been built, and we'll let you know what parts are good and should stay and what parts need to be changed.
Yes. This has been done multiple times. The process begins with an assessment of what is currently there, what is working, and the reality of the situation regarding the code and configuration. We assess the existing situation before making any changes. After that comes a discussion of realistic options.
Absolutely — SharePoint Server 2016, 2019, and Subscription Edition. We provide support for hybrid scenarios as well as migrations from on-premises to SharePoint Online. In case your organization uses SharePoint Server 2013, it is time to discuss the matter of support end.
We deploy SharePoint Online inside Microsoft 365 Multi-Geo environments when residency requirements come into play. The sensitivity labels and compliance boundaries can be tailored to fit the data classification system that applies to your geographical location.
We serve clients ranging from about 200 to 50,000 users. What works changes depending on the scale involved. There is a difference between what an organization with 500 people needs versus one with 20,000 employees in the context of SharePoint requirements. We tailor our approach accordingly, not by offering the same product at various prices.
Yes. It’s an engagement that will take two to three weeks and result in a report. You don’t have to commit to further work on the implementation front. The report is written in such a way that it can be actioned either by us or another service provider/vendor.
