The Role of a Consultant

What is a SharePoint Consultant?

The crucial link between your business goals and SharePoint's capabilities

Microsoft 365 SharePoint consultants bridge the gap between what your organisation needs and what SharePoint can deliver. Without expert guidance, SharePoint often becomes more of a burden than a benefit — underused, poorly structured, and frustrating for staff.

When you work with a SharePoint Systems consultant, you're not just hiring someone to configure a site. You're investing in a strategic partner who understands the intersection of business operations and technology. We ensure your SharePoint environment is tailor-made to improve workflows, enhance communication, automate manual processes, and remain sustainable as your organisation grows.

Whether you're starting from scratch or trying to improve an existing deployment, our Microsoft 365 SharePoint consulting appointment should be your first step — ensuring the process you plan is the easiest, quickest, safest, and most cost-effective solution before development begins.

Built for Growth

SharePoint for Scalability and Business Growth

One of the key advantages of expert SharePoint consulting is the ability to build a platform that scales with your organisation from day one.

1

Logical Information Architecture

A solid site hierarchy, hub structure and metadata taxonomy makes it straightforward to expand your libraries, pages and apps as your company grows — without costly restructuring later.

2

Governance Planning

Setting standards for naming conventions, permissions, metadata and document lifecycle management early prevents the chaos that derails so many SharePoint environments over time.

3

Custom Templates & Components

Reusable site templates and Power Platform components allow your internal teams to spin up new sites or workflows quickly and consistently — without starting from scratch every time.

Transparent, Session-Based Pricing

Your initial discovery call is completely complimentary — no obligation, no pressure. Formal consulting sessions are billed per session, giving you full control over spend.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Not at all. Many of our consulting engagements begin with organisations that have no SharePoint presence whatsoever. We guide you through everything from licensing decisions and initial architecture design to full deployment and staff training. Whether you're starting from scratch or trying to fix an existing environment, our consultants meet you where you are.

SharePoint Online is hosted in Microsoft's cloud and included with most Microsoft 365 subscriptions — it's always up to date, accessible from anywhere and requires no server infrastructure. SharePoint On-Premises is installed on your own servers and gives you more control over data residency and customisation, but requires ongoing maintenance. For most organisations today, SharePoint Online is the recommended path. SPS will advise on the best option for your specific situation.

A discovery and scoping consultation typically takes one to two sessions of 60–90 minutes each. From there, the scope of subsequent work depends on your requirements — a governance audit might be two sessions, while a full migration planning engagement could span four to six sessions over several weeks. We scope transparently so you know exactly what you're committing to before each session.

Absolutely. In fact, this is one of our most common consulting engagements. We conduct a thorough health check of your existing SharePoint environment — reviewing architecture, permissions, governance, content structure and adoption — then provide a prioritised recommendations report. Many clients are surprised by how much improvement is possible without a full rebuild.

We offer the full SharePoint lifecycle — consulting, development, support and training. Many clients begin with a consulting engagement to plan their environment, then engage our development team to build it. Others come to us purely for consulting advice on a build they're handling internally. We're flexible and will fit into whatever model works best for you.

Yes, genuinely. The discovery call is a 30–45 minute conversation to understand your situation and goals. We'll share initial observations and recommendations. If you want to proceed further, we'll quote on the consulting engagement transparently. There is no obligation, no hard sell and no invoice for the discovery call.
