SharePoint Integration Services for Small to Medium-Sized Businesses
Connect SharePoint with Microsoft 365 apps and business systems to create seamless workflows that eliminate data silos and manual processes.
Stop switching between disconnected apps and manually copying data across systems. Abel Solutions integrates SharePoint with your Microsoft 365 ecosystem and critical business applications—creating unified workflows that boost productivity and eliminate duplicate work.
As a Microsoft Solutions Partner, we leverage Power Platform and proven integration methodologies to connect your tools and automate your processes.
Are You Struggling With These Common SMB Integration Challenges?
Data Silos Across Applications
Critical data scattered across SharePoint, Teams, Outlook, Excel, and other apps with no automated connection. Teams waste time manually transferring information between systems.
Manual Data Entry & Duplication
Entering client information in CRM, then again in SharePoint, then into accounting software. Errors multiply, and productivity suffers from repetitive tasks.
Disconnected Team Collaboration
Files in SharePoint, conversations in Teams, tasks in Planner, calendars in Outlook—but nothing connects. Context gets lost, and teams struggle to stay aligned.
Inefficient Approval Workflows
Sending documents via email for approval, tracking status manually, and losing visibility into where things stand. Critical processes stall waiting for responses.
Limited Mobile Access
SharePoint holds critical information, but field teams, executives, and remote workers can't easily access it through their preferred mobile apps or workflows.
No Unified Reporting
Data for decision-making lives in multiple systems. Creating reports requires manual exports, spreadsheet gymnastics, and data reconciliation—delaying insights and decisions.
If these challenges sound familiar, SharePoint integration can transform disconnected tools into a unified, automated ecosystem—and Abel Solutions makes it happen seamlessly.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of integrations can SharePoint handle?
SharePoint integrates natively with all Microsoft 365 apps (Teams, Outlook, OneDrive, Power BI, Planner) and can connect to virtually any business system via Power Platform connectors—including CRM, ERP, accounting, project management, and industry-specific applications. If a pre-built connector doesn't exist, we can create custom integrations using APIs.
Do we need additional licensing for SharePoint integrations?
Basic SharePoint integrations with Microsoft 365 apps are included in your existing licenses. Power Automate is included in most Microsoft 365 Business and Enterprise plans with usage limits. Complex integrations or high-volume automation may require Power Automate premium connectors or additional capacity—we'll identify any licensing needs during assessment.
How long does a typical integration project take?
Integration timelines vary widely depending on the number of systems involved, data volume, workflow complexity, custom development requirements, and testing needs. Simple integrations like connecting SharePoint with Teams or setting up automated notifications are relatively quick, while complex multi-system integrations with custom workflows require significantly more time. During our discovery and assessment phase, we'll evaluate your specific integration requirements and provide a realistic timeline and estimate tailored to your project—ensuring you have clear expectations from the start.
Can you integrate SharePoint with our legacy systems or custom applications?
Yes, Power Platform supports REST APIs, SOAP APIs, and custom connectors for legacy systems. If your system has an API, we can connect it to SharePoint. For systems without APIs, we explore alternative integration methods like database connections, file-based transfers, or middleware solutions. During assessment, we evaluate your specific systems and recommend the best approach.
What happens if Microsoft updates SharePoint or other apps? Will our integrations break?
Microsoft maintains backward compatibility for standard integrations and Power Platform connectors. We build integrations following best practices to minimize update impact. Our managed services include monitoring for Microsoft 365 updates and proactive testing to address any compatibility issues before they affect your workflows.
Can we modify integrations ourselves after implementation?
Absolutely. We design integrations to be maintainable by SMB IT teams and provide administrator training. Power Automate flows use visual workflows that are easier to modify than traditional code. We also provide documentation and can offer ongoing support for more complex changes. Many clients handle minor adjustments internally while engaging us for significant enhancements.
How secure are SharePoint integrations?
We implement integrations using Microsoft security best practices—including OAuth 2.0 authentication, least-privilege access, encrypted data transmission, and audit logging. Integrations respect your existing SharePoint permissions and Microsoft 365 security policies. We can also implement data loss prevention rules and conditional access policies for sensitive integrations.
What if an integration fails or encounters errors?
We build robust error handling into every integration—including automatic retries, notification alerts, and detailed logging. Most integrations include monitoring dashboards so administrators can track performance and quickly identify issues. Our support services provide rapid response to integration failures, and we maintain fallback procedures to ensure business continuity.
