Sharepoint Online Crawler for Visual Site Mapping

Microsoft SharePoint has been at the forefront of digital collaboration since its debut in 2001. With the introduction of SharePoint Online in 2013, it has become the go-to platform for organizations to create internal networks, known as Intranets. As of February 2024, SharePoint boasts over 200 million active monthly users, with an increasing adoption rate. Notably, 80% of Fortune 500 companies utilize SharePoint for their intranets, internal communications, and collaboration.

While SharePoint Online excels in fostering collaboration, organizations need to take additional steps to ensure a healthy digital presence. Dyno Mapper's web governance tools now seamlessly integrate with Sharepoint Online and allow Sharepoint Managers to perform the following efficiently:

1. Visual Site Mapping - A visual sitemap is a hierarchical diagram showing your SharePoint's structure. It visually represents how pages in your Sharepoint are connected and related. Designers, researchers, and developers often use visual sitemaps during development, optimization, maintenance, and migrations.
   
   
2. Content Inventory & Audit - A content inventory is a comprehensive and structured collection of all the content assets linked from Sharepoint. A content inventory aims to assess and manage content, helping in tasks like content audits, identifying gaps or redundancies, and planning content updates.
   
   
3. Accessibility Testing - An accessible intranet will ensure that all staff are treated fairly and can access this essential organizational resource. While many organizations focus on the legal compliance requirements of an accessible intranet, the most substantial benefit is that it is more usable for all staff.
   
   
4. PDF Document Accessibility - Accessibility testing for PDFs is crucial as it helps make documents available to a broader audience, including people with impairments. By ensuring your PDFs are accessible, you're meeting standards like WCAG and PDF/UA, making your documents more inclusive and increasing their reach.

Integrating your SharePoint Online with Dyno Mapper is a straightforward process that can be completed within 24-48 hours of signing up. Every subscription includes support, ensuring you have the assistance you need. Dyno Mapper's seamless integration with Sharepoint Online is a reliable solution for maintaining the digital health of your SharePoint online.
