SP Hub Suite Includes:
- SP Self-Service Hub – provide a self-service structure with a self-service Intranet and Department Service Portals (with Service Requests).

Beyond the Intranet Home Page - SP Self-Service Hub
SP Self-Service Hub for Teams enhances a company’s basic Intranet Home Page (Communication Site) into a Self-Service Portal Structure by connecting with departments (MS Teams) who provide services such as IT, Marketing, HR, Facilities and more. This self-service Intranet goes beyond a basic news and information home page by empowering employees to find the resources they require day-to-day, and to get assistance in a consistent way across departments providing internal services.
"Providing a News Home Page or collaboration portals are a good first step, but the real ROI comes when you empower employees to help themselves.” Trimble stated. “Delivering a consistent approach across departments to self-service, employees focus more on their job and less on internal administrative tasks, and department staff spend less time fielding inquiries and more on productive work.”
SP Self-Service Hub allows companies to continue using their Microsoft Teams for team collaboration, however it provides structure and organization around the use of Microsoft Teams, and adds the self-service component to the MS Teams and Communication Sites. SP Self-Service Hub transforms the disorganization and chaos of having unmanaged Microsoft Teams all over an organization.
Visibility across Project Teams - SP Projects Hub
A major challenge for organizations using Microsoft Teams for project collaboration is the ability to get the big picture across projects. Many companies utilize Microsoft Teams for team collaboration, yet they lack the ability to see an overall picture of all their projects including project health, status, tasks, and issues. SP Projects Hub for Teams is a solution that provides a project management hub site which allows companies to track all their projects from a single point. SP Projects Hub provides the ability to roll up all the details of individual team projects into one central hub.
