Transforming SharePoint into a Ticketing System: A Smart Move for Modern Organizations
When the IT team at a mid-sized government agency faced growing support requests, they turned to the tools they already had. Like many organizations, they were using Microsoft SharePoint for document management and collaboration. The question became: could SharePoint also be used to manage tickets?
The answer was yes—and it led them to a powerful solution that changed how their team worked.
Why Use SharePoint as a Ticketing System?
Most organizations using Microsoft 365 already have SharePoint at their fingertips. It’s a familiar, secure, and highly customizable platform. With the right setup, it can do far more than just store documents—it can become a centralized hub for managing IT tickets, service requests, HR inquiries, facilities issues, and more.
Key benefits of using SharePoint as a ticketing system include:
-
Cost Savings: No need to invest in separate third-party systems.
-
Seamless Integration: Works effortlessly with Microsoft Teams, Outlook, Power Automate, and other M365 tools.
-
Customizability: Tailor ticket forms, workflows, and dashboards to your exact needs.
-
Data Security: Leverage your existing Microsoft security and compliance setup.
But while SharePoint has the potential, it needs the right layer of functionality to truly operate as a help desk.
