25 years of platform evolution: from document portal to AI-driven enterprise platform. Every milestone tells a story.
Experience as AnimationWhat is the history of Microsoft SharePoint?
Microsoft SharePoint was launched in 2001 as SharePoint Portal Server and SharePoint Team Services. Over 25 years the platform evolved from a document repository into an AI-powered collaboration platform: SharePoint Online (2011), Modern UI (2016), Microsoft Teams integration (2020), SharePoint Premium/Syntex (2022) and Microsoft 365 Copilot (2023). CNEXT knows every SharePoint version and guides Swiss organisations through modernisation and migration.
