There are convenient, on-point and easy to handle: apps help you through the day. On your iPhone or Android smartphone or in SharePoint. Yes, you read that correctly. In SharePoint. There is a broad range of apps – or add-ins – in the popular collaboration tool, which help you add new functions or applications to an existing SharePoint page. While more and more IT decision makers opt for this program because SharePoint in particular can be flexibly adjusted to a company’s individual needs, the development of new functions still requires time and expertise. An application might be a quick and proven solution.

In Microsoft’s app store you can find more than 1,500 of helpful features and widgets. The price range extends from free of charge up to several hundreds of Euros.

We have put together a selection of SharePoint apps, which we believe to provide the best help. And to top it off, these apps can be downloaded for free.
