- Productivity improvements: time saved solving problems using SharePoint instead of meeting in person to do this. There are the costs of travelling avoided too.
- Savings in hardware, support costs and licences from moving content and tools on existing technology to SharePoint.
- Business intelligence can lead to opportunities to increase revenue through quicker responses to sales leads and customer service problems.
