Go beyond archiving files. Switch to Confluence

Confluence breaks down silos and is a single source of truth for your entire company. Easily create, discover, and collaborate on shared knowledge.

Knowledge flows freely between teams

SharePoint files are siloed in folders and become obsolete instantly

Find information fast with a single source of truth. Confluence’s open, connected structure allows critical knowledge to be shared amongst everyone within an organization.

Organize all project or team-related work with a nested content tree and dedicated Spaces
Easily find what you need with advanced search, labels, and an intuitive content hierarchy
Content is open by default with tools to control permissions and allow guest access

Confluence has a great ability to find important information quickly. Far better than my experiences with Sharepoint or Teams.

Increase team engagement

SharePoint's commenting & co-editing social features are clumsy

Collaborate on projects and plans across teams, all in one place. Get updates when changes are made or track version history to stay in the loop and move work forward, collaboratively.

Co-editing in real-time and @ mentions keep teams in sync
Inline comments and emoji reactions move conversations forward
Blogs create a company culture of sharing and personal connection

Confluence is a great way to collaborate and document much better than SharePoint.
